AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, will return to airwaves on SUNDAY, MARCH 11 at 8|7c, at its new home on ABC.
The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2017, 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.

I feel like Jonny is going to be the one that doesn't necessarily win but ends up being the most successful in years to come! 🙌

[@Ariv002]

Omg yes

[@TonyaS]

I feel like a lot of the ones auditioning are like that. I'm glad they are letting them sing originals because some of these people who won't win will at least hopefully get noticed. It's not always about being a belter of notes! :)

[@buzzardking5176]

How many past American Idols are "successful?" Being a contestant on American Idol is the kiss of the death to a music career.

[@janeward4078]

Smile with Mel truuu

[@buzzardking5176]

Yes I have. Her albums are selling like hotcakes - not. Didn't she just gain about 100 pounds?

[@DevinSumer]

he has a great, smooth, storytelling voice!

[@factfeeder777]

he does. But ... you're gay though

[@wishyouwerehere82]

Yes, agree with you . He is a storytelling with his song and voice

[@withinreachpro]

YOOOOOOOO LOL bro I died laughing when i read this

[@janappf8052]

Hot

[@tendersheep667]

Devin Sumer haha that's what I said! He should read audible books!

[@GrillWasabi]

"Hello! Do you know who I am?" 😂😂😂😂 Priceless!

[@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit]

Grill Wasabi Sushi Channel hahah

[@shimmerlite5820]

That was hilarious! OMG! I love him! 😂😂😂

[@GibsonTV]

dayum hahahahaha

[@baelagaming]

I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣

[@indakgalak]

That was the best part plus how scared he was to call his mom!😅 The cutest!😍

[@katiewu9499]

"How tall is your father?" "He's like six-two. He's short"

[@vanessaroseropinto5843]

Is anybody else crazy excited they are uploading so many videos of auditions right now ? 😁

[@tonyavallejo7790]

Vanessa Rosero Pinto Me!!

[@MILATERYRULE]

Yeah

[@Nina-Bobo]

Vanessa Rosero Pinto 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂😂

[@iiiJenii]

I’m in the UK so it’s not even out yet!

[@notyouraveragemoto]

Me!

[@EnjoyLeeau]

I actually like this song and his voice so much ! Can’t belive he wrote it

[@alwayshoutabbeyx]

me too! whole family was like holy shit this is an original???

[@jakobisaac9588]

Katy has made this show 100% better. She’s hilarious 😂❤️

[@Jaglilpill75]

Jakob Isaac she is it!!! Dont need eny other panel ever!!! 😍😍😍

[@Shreepsy]

She's easily the worst, most annoying judge of any competition show ever. Hands down.

[@Shreepsy]

I seriously think she has something going on mentally. She needs help. She used to be normal but now is borderline neurotic sounding.

[@asuri5298]

I Actually Love All 3 of them

[@A.C.71]

shes a bit crazy but a good crazy :)

[@littlesusieofficial]

Omg!!! I’m crying buckets here over that phone call!!! I love it!!!

[@liliachavez6209]

This group of judges are so warm and gentle. So beautiful. I Love ❤️ them.

[@arianamartin7391]

This is the kind of music I live for! Smooth voice plus fabulous acoustic guitar playing equals utter amazingness!!! This is alongside the good looks.

[@indraprastha1382]

Love all the judges! They are so relax and cool

[@fatimahuq9112]

This probably has to be the best panel of judges I’ve ever seen. For Luke to make him sing Micheal just to hear his range more is so specific and so professionally sound that it truly does show that these judges want the best for true/raw talent. Katy is just a breath of fresh air (what this show kinda needed tbh) and Lionel .... well he’s just a classic who wouldn’t want to have him really ? Really happy this is the direction Idol went with. Good one guys!

[@savannah2708]

holy crap i'd buy his single

[@holdtrue2021]

savannah, no doubt ❤

[@grandebig9]

“I’m 6’5” Katy: “Yaaaas” Me! 😂😂

[@XdylanX18X]

This kid deserves to be in the music industry

[@Estframa]

Forget the kid, I didn't know that Luke Bryan could belt notes like that 3:16 lol

[@kathleencrane7314]

I've gone to his concerts for years , and it shocked me when I first heard him hit notes like that live. He's just so talented

[@drob449]

These 3 judges are what makes this year of Idol by far my most favorite year of all. They all are eat up with passion for good music that comes from the soul. I can't get enough of it.

[@kaceface3277]

This song was fantastic. I’d buy it in a heartbeat

[@kaceface3277]

Am I the only one who LOVES this guy?! And he can write and play? Wow

[@ohsocoolify]

This was the first boy I ever liked in kindergarten 😂 funny seeing him on the big screen! Good luck, Jonny!

[@saniaferginia9969]

Definitely play over and over again

[@sgd.6830]

Wonderful and a soft reggae feel voice, love his voice 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@terkatomkova7441]

This is the BEST panel of judges on American idol E V E R. They are just so nice

[@petsan09]

So much emotion! Love it.

[@valerianicole8090]

Its so precious to see people going after their dreams ❤️

[@godfreykigsbhp3100]

The judges make it more interesting as well. Thanks I love a good show

[@ellam6623]

On his voice is so nice!!! Only thing is that his guitar playing. Like I get that it’s a soft song but.. Still love it!!!

[@rbaleksandar]

Oh, man, my heart melted listening to this...

[@Summmerwx]

Watching this and then seeing him during Hollywood Week and Final Judgement last night he's clearly improving which makes me SOOO happy.

[@Javier23gol]

Loving this new version of American Idol. I've seen a lot of auditions with original songs and the judges are very great and professional.

[@aayushfalodiya1778]

oh man, his voice👍👍 he deserves guidance and attention!

[@kimberlyschwartz5299]

Jonny...U HAVE to KEEP following your dreams!!! U are truly amazing and have an amazing talent!! Where are your own KZbin videos?? You have to start your own channel!!! U can do this!!! PLEASE keep following your dreams, regardless of what your dad tells u...You MUST follow your heart!!! DONT DENY why u were born and why u are here!!! Allow the world to SEE your talent!!! U HAVE the "IT" factor!!! It does NOT matter that u are no longer on Idol, u have your OWN sound!!! U sound a lot like Michael Buble', but u have your OWN style!!!

[@user-yq9sj6hu3i]

I really love the choice of the judges finally! They give chances they try to listen more

[@abdulmalikmadenge]

So I had a smirk on my face after the blue jeans joke and BAMMM! He hits me with that first note Damn he’s good 👏🏼🙌🏽

[@lauraramonique8052]

I hope he makes it far, he deserves to be recognized!
