Another best season ever...
The premiere of the fifth season of American Idol is just 20 days away. And yes, once again, we will be treated/tortured by seven nights of audition high/lowlights in what Simon is calling "the best season yet."
The best season ever? Wouldn't that make this about the fourth best season ever?
Never mind.
USA Today has given us a peek at the schedule up to March 14 when the top twelve begin in final competition. Again, Idol is staying with the Tuesday performance/Wednesday reveal formula, despite thoughts of a switch to a Tuesday/Thursday format. And Randy says the kids this time want the prize more than any other group, alluding to "interesting fighting and dialogue" among the contestants. Oooo! Does this mean another Julia DeMato/Kim Caldwell-fest? Let's hope so!
And, since it seemed to work so successfully last season, we're returning to the top 12 boys and top 12 girls, reducing each gender group to six for a final 12 format. No wildcards again this season.
