American Idol premiered on the Fox Broadcasting Company on January 16, 2007 and ran until May 23, 2007. Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson returned to judge once again, and Ryan Seacrest returned as host. Jordin Sparks won the competition with Blake Lewis as the first runner-up and Melinda Doolittle finishing third. Jordin Sparks is also the youngest winner of the competition, winning at age 17 as well as the first winner from outside the Southern United States.
American Idol premiered on January 12, 2010 and concluded on May 26, 2010 on Fox.[1] Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi all returned as judges, and Ellen DeGeneres permanently replaced Paula Abdul as the fourth judge.[2] Idol Gives Back also returned for the season and was held on April 21, 2010, during the top seven results show.[3] The top 24 semi-finals format used in the fourth through seventh seasons also returned this season.[4] Judges Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi, and Ellen DeGeneres all left the show after this season ended, although only Cowell's departure was announced in advance.[5][6][7] This was the second season where neither of the final 2 contestants had been in the bottom 2 or 3, with the first being the seventh season. This was also the third consecutive season a male contestant had won, the longest streak for either gender. It was the first season since season 6 where a female made it to the finale and was also the first time since season 5 that both the finalists released a different song as a debut single. Additionally, this is the first time since the show's inception that there has been more male than female winners as a whole.
Well, the other shoe finally dropped. After a season that, so far, has mostly favored the good auditions, Thursday's episode focused almost exclusively on the bad. Steven Tyler attributed the change to the city of Los Angeles, which he deduced is full of delusional people. Things got so bad that even J. Lo discovered her potty mouth. So, who was the worst of the worst? Let's find out.
Victoria Garrett, "Now Behold the Lamb"
The title of this Kirk Franklin religious tune perhaps should have been a warning. Victoria, who promised to knock the judges socks off, sang like a sheep being strangled. Steven, trying to be nice, said it was "not baaad." (Geddit?) He even went on to say she was sweet and angelic, which first drew laughs and then frustration from J. Lo and Randy. Victoria chalked her failure up to nerves and said not everybody can sing like J. Lo. In Victoria's case, that is most certainly true.
Tim Halperin, "She Will Be Loved"
One of the night's few golden ticket recipients, Tim confessed to having a major crush on J. Lo. In fact, he never took his eyes of Jennifer during his rendition of the Maroon 5 song. Randy noted that it felt like he and Steven weren't even there, and although Tim had a decent voice, Randy decided that he wasn't quite ready. Steven, however, thought there was enough talent to work with and said yes. J. Lo agreed that his voice would need to be stronger, but that he has a nice tone, which is most important for recording artists. We'll see if he improves in Hollywood.
Justin Carter
He had barely any screen time, and although his voice had the possibility of being decent, it lacked any real depth. Or as J. Lo said, it didn't have any "balls underneath it." Then the judges said balls again and again as Idol censored them. Fun.
Isaac Rodriguez, "Build Me Up Buttercup" and Daniel Gomez, "I'll Be"
These best buddies came all the way to the auditions together so they would have in each other a support system. Isaac has dropped out of college, but his parents, who are also on hand to show support, don't know it. Daniel says he has a voice worthy of superstar status. One thing they both have in common: They absolutely suck at singing. Steven said Isaac "set the song on fire," to which Randy added "yeah, he burned it down." Then, Randy told Daniel he was relatively tone deaf. But they both aspire to continue singing, which Randy urged them never to do again.
Karen Rodriguez, "You Give Good Love"
Her hopes to become the first Latina winner of American Idol started with a MySpace audition, and she proved to have the goods in person as well. She nailed Whitney Houston, which is never an easy thing to do. J. Lo loved her control and Steven said she had hot, spitfire melody. Not sure what that means, but she gets a golden ticket.
Tynisha Roches, "My Way"
Wow. She came to the audition with her own microphone and started every sentence with "Ow!" She is, as you would expect, terrible, even though she has "three albums ready to be composed." When she refuses to listen to the judges' critiques, Randy leaves the room. And, of course, Tynisha gives chase, singing, "You're gonna love me!" She screams her way through a few more songs before Randy wrestles the mic away from her and security escorts her out.
Heidi Khzam, "Superwoman"
Can she sing? Maybe. We heard a few bars, and they were OK enough. But most of her audition was a belly dance for Steven. He and Randy eagerly passed her through, with Randy calling her, "the best we've ever seen." Ugh.
Matt "Big Stats" Frankel
Dressed in a business suit, this "freelance music producer" and founder of Matt Scott Frankel Productions failed to impress with both his rapping and his singing, which still pretty much sounded like rapping. Matt claims his company released a compliation album that features Chaka Kahn, but who cares, really? He gets the boot, and claims that Randy is just jealous that he's not related to Michael or Samuel L. Jackson. Right, that's it.
Mark Gutierrez and Aaron Gutierrez, "Lean on Me"
These two brothers were a breath of fresh air compared to most of the crap that preceded them. Their voices complemented each other very well, and they were strong enough that the judges didn't even require them to sing solo. Steven even went as far as to say their duet was "god-like." He's obviously a fan of hyperbole, so here's some: This was the worst episode of Idol ever.
Cooper Robinson, "I Feel Good"
He looks like James Brown after about 75 cans of Red Bull. After giving Randy detailed directions to his house on the plantation in Arkansas, he spent the rest of his time barking out some of Brown's songs and rolling around on the floor. Ryan called him the "human tornado," and Cooper got so wound up that he couldn't complete his sentences. Mercifully, he was the last of the night.
So, what did you think of this wholly unimpressive hour of auditions? Were you amused by the bad singers or frustrated at their lameness?
One night after the depressingly, nearly talent-free Austin auditions, it's a relief "American Idol" is making a stop in Los Angeles. As show host Ryan Seacrest notes encouragingly, it is, after all, the entertainment capital of the world.
On the other hand, he immediately follows that with a crack about how this audition season to date they've seen some of the best talent in 10 seasons, and his credibility drops back down to zilch.
JLo has a brief battle with her itty bitty shorts, which have ridden up during her long stretch-limo ride. It hardly seems worth the struggle, given that she's going to be sitting behind a desk during the day of auditioning. Randy Jackson, meanwhile, is wearing gold shoes, and Steven Tyler smokes a cigar. The judges are ready.
Seabiscuit reminds us it's the first time in history they've taken online auditions; those chosen will show up in Los Angeles to try out.
Wannabe Idolette Victoria Garrett believes God brought "American Idol" auditions to Los Angeles for a purpose, "and I believe I am that purpose."
She sings a number about the lamb of God that Tyler says sounds like it was being sung by a little lamb -- as in "baaaaad."
"Sweetie, it's a 'no'," Jlo says sweetly.
And yet Victoria lashes out at JLo, not Tyler. "Everybody can't sing like JLo," she tells the camera sarcastically.
Tim Halperin tells JLo he had a crush on her "growing up." She asks him how old he is; he asks her how old she is. She tells him it's none of his business. Poor JLo is getting no breaks.
But Tyler gives Tim a "yes," which means Randy's gonna give him a "no," because that'll mean Tim's fate is now up to his childhood crush JLo. Cut to doorway, through which Tim passes and cries, "I'm going to Hollywood!"
Take away: Sucking up to "Idol" judges really works.
Justin Carter is okay-ish, but JLo appears to say she thinks he needs to sing more from his family jewels. She says a word several times but it's bleeped out.
Remember that 1940's flick "The Enchanted Cottage" in which Dorothy McGuire played a mousy maid and Robert Young was the young pilot disfigured by war wounds, only they get to know each other in the cottage he's rented and she's hired to clean. And they start to believe they're beautiful, only nobody else sees it?
Yeah, Daniel Gomez and Isaac Rodriguez are kind of like that. They're very close friends who have come to the audition together to lend each other moral support. They're both convince they're terrific singers, in the face of all evidence to the contrary. "Idol's" done clueless close friends before -- but always had Simon Cowell around to call one of them a "bush baby" and then all hell would break loose in the media. Minus Simon and the callous insults -- Randy does manage to call one of them "relatively tone deaf," by which he means "completely" -- the storyline falls pretty flat.
New York native Karen Rodriguez is one of the online wannabes who's come to Los Angeles to audition. She's maybe the best we've seen so far in Los Angeles, but that's setting the bar very, very low. JLo pronounces her performance "hot," which emboldens Karen to tell JLo they'd met before, on an episode of "TRL." JLo gives Karen one of those looks celebrities give to people who are "just people" when they get too familiar.
Tyler thinks Karen's got "confidence" and "spit." She gets to go to Hollywood.
Tynisha Roches cannot emphasize enough that she is the Next American Idol. She already has three albums that are ready to be composed. She's going to perform a tribute to Frank Sinatra -- she's brought her own hat and grabbed a microphone, too.
She refuses to stop singing even when the judges ask. Even Tyler looks annoyed. Randy gets up out of his chair and leaves the room. Tynisha chases after him. Randy re-enters the audition room where JLo and Tyler are still seated - safety in numbers - and attempts to wrest the microphone from Tynisha's clutch.
"Security, security!" Randy finally calls.
"Bye, sweetie!" says JLo
"I definitely know I'm a star," Tynisha tells Seabiscuit outside. "Randy was all about giggles. I thought he was a lot cooler than that. He was like the Pillsbury Doughboy."
Pretty Heidi Khzam is a belly dancer. She performs a dance while Steven and Randy make noises like male hounds in heat.
"Yes, Yes, Yes!" shouts Randy.
Then they ask her if she can actually sing. She demonstrates. She's an okay singer.
"Welcome to Hollywood!" gushes Randy.
"Simmer it down," JLo warns.
Tyler pronounces Heidi an "incredible" talent, while Randy insists she's "one of the best we've ever seen."
JLo rolls her eyes.
Matthew Scott Frankel, aka Big Stats, heads Matthew Scott Frankel Productions, which has really gone green -- unlike the Fox network, which periodically professes to be making efforts to "go green" and yet has each of its "Idol" judges show up to auditions each day in their individual stretch limos. Frankel, the head of the production company, takes buses to get around town.
He tells the judges he is a "freelance music producer" with a "compilation album" featuring Chaka Khan. But his tune is terrible. Unlike the other bad singers, he seems to suspect this:
"Give me that one shot. I know it's against your guys' better judgment," Big Stats says, adding, "I can see it in your faces. I really needed to lubricate up a bit."
And he loved JLo in "Selena."
And yet still the judges give him the raspberry.
Big Stats tells us his mom always told him if he has nothing kind to say about someone to keep his mouth shut, so his lips are sealed re Randy. Except, of course, to mention that Randy is upset because he's not really related to Michael Jackson or Samuel L. Jackson, and that he and Randy are now officially "beefin."
A medley of bad singers later, in walk brothers Mark and Aaron Gutierrez. Mark is a substitute teacher; Aaron is a shoe salesman. They sing "Lean on Me" as a duet. Compared to the rest of the singers we've seen tonight, they're like Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, Sonny and Cher, Donny and Marie, the Captain and Tennille.
Tyler declares their number "god-like" while admitting his judgment has been impaired under the pressure of the Los Angeles auditions. And Randy notes there's nothing like a good sibling act. They're in.
Seabiscuit promises they'll wrap up the show with a crazy guy who calls himself the Human Tornado.
Cooper Robinson thinks he might be 59 but says he's not sure. He's from somewhere deep in Arkansas where there are a lot of snakes, which might be 1,000 miles away from Los Angeles, or 5,000 miles, depending on Cooper's mood at the moment.
Cooper plans to take over Universal Studio. So does Comcast. This could get interesting. Our money's on Cooper.
Cooper has now switched career plans and no longer wants to be the next American Idol. He wants to be "that man -- the next movie star."
"How do you like me?" he asks the judges directly. Seems like a fair enough question.
The judges are speechless. So Cooper does have a talent.
Which he apparently thinks is wasted on these three, so he leaves the room and goes outside to talk to Seabiscuit for a while. JLo wants to leave and gets a bodyguard to escort her past Cooper.
Seabiscuit appears to run into the auditioning room like a frightened fawn.
"I didn't come ... out of the woods for nuthin," Cooper explains to nobody in particular. He outlines his plan to take over Universal and become the next big movie star by being in our bathrooms and wherever else we might happen to be because, he explains, he's better looking than any dog, chicken, snake, hog, cow or giraffe.
And that wraps up Los Angeles auditions.
Here are some clips of Los Angeles auditions:

Tynisha Roches cannot emphasize enough that she is the Next American Idol. She already has three albums that are ready to be composed. She's going to perform a tribute to Frank Sinatra -- she's brought her own hat and grabbed a microphone, too.
She refuses to stop singing even when the judges ask. Even Tyler looks annoyed. Randy gets up out of his chair and leaves the room. Tynisha chases after him. Randy re-enters the audition room where JLo and Tyler are still seated - safety in numbers - and attempts to wrest the microphone from Tynisha's clutch.
"Security, security!" Randy finally calls.
"Bye, sweetie!" says JLo
"I definitely know I'm a star," Tynisha tells Seabiscuit outside. "Randy was all about giggles. I thought he was a lot cooler than that. He was like the Pillsbury Doughboy."
Pretty Heidi Khzam is a belly dancer. She performs a dance while Steven and Randy make noises like male hounds in heat.
"Yes, Yes, Yes!" shouts Randy.
Then they ask her if she can actually sing. She demonstrates. She's an okay singer.
"Welcome to Hollywood!" gushes Randy.
"Simmer it down," JLo warns.
Tyler pronounces Heidi an "incredible" talent, while Randy insists she's "one of the best we've ever seen."
JLo rolls her eyes.
Matthew Scott Frankel, aka Big Stats, heads Matthew Scott Frankel Productions, which has really gone green -- unlike the Fox network, which periodically professes to be making efforts to "go green" and yet has each of its "Idol" judges show up to auditions each day in their individual stretch limos. Frankel, the head of the production company, takes buses to get around town.
He tells the judges he is a "freelance music producer" with a "compilation album" featuring Chaka Khan. But his tune is terrible. Unlike the other bad singers, he seems to suspect this:
"Give me that one shot. I know it's against your guys' better judgment," Big Stats says, adding, "I can see it in your faces. I really needed to lubricate up a bit."
And he loved JLo in "Selena."
And yet still the judges give him the raspberry.
Big Stats tells us his mom always told him if he has nothing kind to say about someone to keep his mouth shut, so his lips are sealed re Randy. Except, of course, to mention that Randy is upset because he's not really related to Michael Jackson or Samuel L. Jackson, and that he and Randy are now officially "beefin."
A medley of bad singers later, in walk brothers Mark and Aaron Gutierrez. Mark is a substitute teacher; Aaron is a shoe salesman. They sing "Lean on Me" as a duet. Compared to the rest of the singers we've seen tonight, they're like Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, Sonny and Cher, Donny and Marie, the Captain and Tennille.
Tyler declares their number "god-like" while admitting his judgment has been impaired under the pressure of the Los Angeles auditions. And Randy notes there's nothing like a good sibling act. They're in.
Seabiscuit promises they'll wrap up the show with a crazy guy who calls himself the Human Tornado.
Cooper Robinson thinks he might be 59 but says he's not sure. He's from somewhere deep in Arkansas where there are a lot of snakes, which might be 1,000 miles away from Los Angeles, or 5,000 miles, depending on Cooper's mood at the moment.
Cooper plans to take over Universal Studio. So does Comcast. This could get interesting. Our money's on Cooper.
Cooper has now switched career plans and no longer wants to be the next American Idol. He wants to be "that man -- the next movie star."
"How do you like me?" he asks the judges directly. Seems like a fair enough question.
The judges are speechless. So Cooper does have a talent.
Which he apparently thinks is wasted on these three, so he leaves the room and goes outside to talk to Seabiscuit for a while. JLo wants to leave and gets a bodyguard to escort her past Cooper.
Seabiscuit appears to run into the auditioning room like a frightened fawn.
"I didn't come ... out of the woods for nuthin," Cooper explains to nobody in particular. He outlines his plan to take over Universal and become the next big movie star by being in our bathrooms and wherever else we might happen to be because, he explains, he's better looking than any dog, chicken, snake, hog, cow or giraffe.
And that wraps up Los Angeles auditions.
Here are some clips of Los Angeles auditions:
