American Idol Top 10 Auditions 2015 HD
After Fox announced that American Idol will be canceled after it’s fifteenth season next year, we can’t help but take a walk down memory lane…
From Kelly Clarkson to Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood to Adam Lambert, the singing contest has given us several of the biggest musicians and stars to date. Not to mention, it built the platform for a type of reality TV that has been repeated and adored time and time again — The Voice, America’s Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance, to name a few.
It’s hard to image after 13 years all of that will finally be coming to an end. So in honor of its longevity and major impact in the entertainment industry, we #bless you with the audition tapes from what we’ve picked as the top 10 most famous people to come from American Idol (a few you likely forgot about):
merican Idol is an American singing competition series created by Simon Fuller and produced by 19 Entertainment, and is distributed by FremantleMedia North America. It began airing on Fox on June 11, 2002, as an addition to the Idols format based on the British series Pop Idol and has since become one of the most successful shows in the history of American television. The concept of the series is to find new solo recording artists, with the winner being determined by the viewers in America. Winners chosen by viewers through telephone, Internet, and SMS text voting were Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McCreery, Phillip Phillips, Candice Glover, Caleb Johnson, and Nick Fradiani.
American Idol employs a panel of judges who critique the contestants' performances. The original judges were record producer and music manager Randy Jackson, pop singer and choreographer Paula Abdul and music executive and manager Simon Cowell. The judging panel for the most recent season consisted of country singer Keith Urban, singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, and jazz singer Harry Connick, Jr.[3] The show was originally hosted by radio personality Ryan Seacrest and comedian Brian Dunkleman, with Seacrest continuing on for the rest of the seasons.
The success of American Idol has been described as "unparalleled in broadcasting history".[4] The series was also said by a rival TV executive to be "the most impactful show in the history of television".[5] It has become a recognized springboard for launching the career of many artists as bona fide stars. According to Billboard magazine, in its first ten years, "Idol has spawned 345 Billboard chart-toppers and a platoon of pop idols, including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, Jennifer Hudson, Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert and Jordin Sparks while remaining a TV ratings juggernaut."[6]
For an unprecedented eight consecutive years, from the 2003–04 television season through the 2010–11 season, either its performance or result show had been ranked number one in U.S. television ratings.[7] By 2012, however, the popularity of American Idol had begun to decline; that year, ratings in the 18–49 demographic fell by 24–27%, and fell further during subsequent seasons. For the first time since 2003, Idol was no longer amongst Nielsen's top 10 shows in terms of viewership. Critics credited the decline primarily to the growing popularity of NBC's competing series The Voice, along with other reality competition series that patterned themselves on Idol. On May 11, 2015, Fox announced that the series was canceled and that the program would conclude its run following its fifteenth season.
American Idol was based on the British show Pop Idol created by Simon Fuller, which was in turn inspired by the New Zealand television singing competition Popstars. Television producer Nigel Lythgoe saw it in Australia and helped bring it over to Britain.[8] Fuller was inspired by the idea from Popstars of employing a panel of judges to select singers in audition. He then added other elements, such as telephone voting by the viewing public (which at the time was already in use in shows such as the Eurovision Song Contest), the drama of backstories and real-life soap opera unfolding in real time.[9] The show debuted in 2001 in Britain with Lythgoe as showrunner—the executive producer and production leader—and Simon Cowell as one of the judges, and was a big success with the viewing public.[10]
In 2001, Fuller, Cowell, and TV producer Simon Jones attempted to sell the Pop Idol format to the United States, but the idea was met with poor response from United States television networks.[11] However, Rupert Murdoch, head of Fox's parent company, was persuaded to buy the show by his daughter Elisabeth, who was a fan of the British show.[11] The show was renamed American Idol: The Search for a Superstar and debuted in the summer of 2002. Cowell was initially offered the job as showrunner but refused; Lythgoe then took over that position. Much to Cowell's sur
