When Does The Next Season Of American Idol Start
Okay, let's be real. Are you, like me, already wondering about the next season of American Idol? I know, I know, the last one just ended. But a music-lover's gotta have dreams, right?
Trying to predict its return feels like waiting for the holidays as a kid. It just can't come fast enough!
So, When Can We Expect More Idol?
Here's the deal: Historically, American Idol likes to stick to a schedule. We're talking about a tradition almost as reliable as pumpkin spice lattes in the fall. Typically, new seasons premiere in the spring.
Must Read
Think February or March. Yep, that's generally the sweet spot for when you can expect Katy Perry (or whoever replaces her!), Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie to grace our screens again.
Why the Spring Premiere?
There's probably a bunch of TV exec mumbo jumbo behind it. But honestly, it just makes sense. Spring is a time of rebirth. Plus, it avoids the super-crowded fall TV schedule.
It’s the perfect time to discover the next big singing sensation while we’re all shaking off those winter blues.
So, mark your calendars (loosely) for February or March of next year. That’s your best bet for when American Idol will be back.
Let the Speculation Begin!
While we think we know when it'll be back, the real fun is in guessing! Who will be the next breakout star? What crazy song choices will the contestants make?
And, perhaps most importantly: Will I finally agree with the judges' picks? (Spoiler alert: probably not. But that's part of the fun, right?)
Speaking of judges... Katy Perry is out. Who will fill that sparkly, often unpredictable, shoe? The rumor mill is already churning!
Unpopular Opinion Time!
Okay, brace yourselves. Here's my truly unpopular American Idol opinion: I sometimes enjoy the audition rounds more than the live shows.
Don’t get me wrong, the live shows are great. The pressure! The costumes! But those early auditions? Pure, unadulterated entertainment. It’s a rollercoaster of talent and, let’s face it, hilariously bad singing.
Plus, it’s the only place you get to see someone belt out a song in front of Lionel Richie while wearing a full unicorn costume. Try topping that, live shows!
Until Next Season...
So, while we wait for the official premiere date, let's reminisce about past seasons. Binge-watch your favorite performances. And practice your own audition piece in the shower (you know you want to!).
Think of what songs you think the contestants should sing. Who knows, maybe your pick will be the next Idol winner’s audition piece!
And remember, even if you disagree with my unpopular opinion about the auditions, we can all agree on one thing: we're all eagerly awaiting the return of American Idol!
"Dream big, sing loud, and get ready for the next round!"
See you (virtually) next season. May your favorite contestants win, and may the judges make slightly fewer questionable decisions. Fingers crossed!
