How to Watch ‘American Idol’ Season 6 Premiere

About ‘American Idol’ Season 6 Premiere

“American Idol” follows talented singers from across the country as they audition in front of the judges and learn whether they will make it to the next round. The contestants must bring their A-game to have a shot at winning it all. They rehearse and then perform each week and must win the hearts of the judges and of Americans, who can vote from home. Throughout the season, the contestant pool dwindles.

This season brings a new twist with America’s Platinum Ticket to Hollywood. Elijah McCormick won the ticket after auditioning and receiving the most votes during the most recent “American Music Awards.”

Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan resume their roles as judges. Host Ryan Seacrest returns to the show as well. Throughout the season, guest mentors will make appearances. At this point, they have not been announced, but there are typically several big names eager to coach the newcomers. This is the sixth season of “American Idol” on ABC. Previously, it was on FOX for 15 seasons.
