At It Again

The sixth season of American Idol kicks off in late January. A new group of pop star wannabes from all over the country will first try to impress judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Simon Cowell -- and then try to win over millions of viewers!

After being selected by Paula, Randy, and Simon during auditions, the contestants will perform live each week. Voting phone lines will be open at the end of each performance episode.

The singer who gets the least amount of votes will be eliminated the following night. The singer who survives every elimination will win a recording contract.

What's New

When it comes to American Idol, Fox has adopted the attitude “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But there is early buzz that producers will add a little something extra this season. They will launch a contest inviting songwriters to write songs for the finalists.
