The judges are the same fan-favorite trio since 2016: Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan. Showrunner Trish Kinane says “their chemistry is undeniable.” Of course, Ryan Seacrest will be energetically hosting as he’s been doing since the show’s birth and traversing the country to find the next stand-out voices.
“Idol” was completely remote last season, but on Valentine’s Day, it will once again be live. The show’s producers began hunting for the next big singer through virtual auditions back in August. Once a contestant received three green lights, they were moved on to sing in front of the judges.
If you have already seen commercials for the upcoming season, you may know that Claudia Conway, daughter of Kellyanne Conway (advisor to former President Trump), will be a contestant this year. Claudia is notorious on social media for being outspoken against her parents’ political views, but will she be known for her voice as well and get a golden ticket to Hollywood?
