Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, the No. 1 hit series empowers contestants and viewers
to share their voice in deciding who will be America's next singing superstar.
Every season promises to be the best yet with new talent and plenty of surprises.
Every year, tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a
shot at stardom. The show's judges winnow down the competitors to a select group of
semifinalists who sing their hearts out each week for a studio audience and tv viewers.
The judges have their say after every performance, but it's the viewing public that
determines who will advance to the next round of competition and who will go home.
Voting via telephone and text-messaging begins immediately after each performance
show, and the results are announced during the following night's broadcast.
Eventually the competition is narrowed down to two finalists who compete for a major
recording contract and the American Idol title. Past winners Kelly Clarkson,
Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks and
recently crowned David Cook have become household names and have risen
to the top of the recording industry. Click HERE to download theme song in mp3 format.
