ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL
AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in March 2019 for its second season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2018, as the Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering 23 cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation, are music industry forces and superstar judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest will return as host of the beloved series.

The fact that this guy is SO HUMBLE, so freaking humble, that he is sobbing about how those parents were supporting their kids sing his song more than the fact that it was his song they were singing.

It’s so weird that he says he was homeschooled (which demands a HUGE commitment from the family), but doesn’t receive any support from his parents basically. What has happened? 🤔😢 And I was so sure he’d win. 😫 Hope he doesn’t take it too roughly...he is going to be signed like tomorrow anyway. He doesn’t need that title. 👍🏻 Like others are commenting, now he’ll be free to be creative and truly shine.

[@moweezybaby]

Angel Mazzoni someone said that he and his parents made the decision that his parents would not be shown on tv because they prefer to stay out of the spotlight. His sister went to his show in Pomona apparently and has commented and made posts about how proud she is of Alejandro
