American Idol Season 8: See How American Idol Transforms
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009American Idol is back! The 8th season of American Idol is here to once again bring fun, laughter, drama, and inspiration to aspiring American Idol participants. American Idol Season 8 begins January 13, 2009.
The singing contest remained America’s No. 1 program last season, but saw a decrease of viewership averaging about 28 million weekly viewers vs. 31 million of the previous years of American Idol.Those behind American Idol express confidence that its drawing power remains strong, but they’re changing the procedure to freshen it and keep the sliding trend to a minimum.
Executive producer Ken Warwick admits that the ratings probably will “drop a bit” again this season. But a major overhaul was not considered, his former co-producer Nigel Lythgoe has left to dedicate his time to the amazing “So You Think You Can Dance” and the dreadful “Superstars of Dance.”
Dedicated viewers who will tune in the American Idol Season 8 will easily spot differences in the presentation and faces — most notably with a new judge, Grammy-nominated songwriter-producer Kara DioGuardi, joining the original trio of Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul.
DioGuardi has since racked up a slew of songwriting hits for the likes of Christina Aguilera (Ain’t No Other Man), season 1 American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson (Walk Away), and Ashlee Simpson (Pieces of Me). She admits her first love is still singing, making her in touch with the contestants she now judges.
