  American Idol: Victoria Beckham's Next Step to American Domination?

  

  
  

  First, an admission: it is very likely that we're all making too much of a fuss out of this. Who knows, maybe the intention is really just to stick around for a while rather than an all-out takeover, much like someone on holiday who, say, falls i...

  How Kris Allen Won 'American Idol'

  

  
  

  When the top 36 of American Idol was announced this season, I had no idea who Kris Allen was. He looked like he was destined to be a red shirt, one of the generic, nameless faces who gets one chance before getting eliminated.

  
  

  Kris Allen was facing...

  Result: Why Kris and not Adam

  I'm a big fan of Adam and I think that he has a great voice, but for those who are still wondering, I'm pretty sure that his sexuality was never an issue. Even though I still hoping tonight that Adam would win, after Tuesday night's performances, ...

More Info

The program seeks to discover the best young singer in the country, through a series of nationwide auditions. The outcomes of the latter stages of this competition are determined by public voting by phone. The format features three judges who critique the contestants' performances in order to facilitate the voting: record producer and bass player Randy Jackson; former pop star Paula Abdul; song-writer Kara DioGuardi; and music executive Simon Cowell. The show is hosted by former children's game show emcee and television personality Ryan Seacrest; comedian Brian Dunkleman cohosted with Seacrest in season one.

The show usually airs on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. In its seven seasons, its seven winners have been, in order of their season, Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, and David Cook. The first five American Idols are from the Southern United States of America (U.S) and the sixth, Jordin Sparks, is from the Southwest. Hicks was the oldest winner at 29, Sparks the youngest at just 17.

American Idol is televised on Fox in the United States and on Fox, on ABC 5, and on Q11 for the 7th season, in Philippines, and CTV in Canada. The Idol series was first created by Simon Fuller (manager of the Spice Girls and S Club 7) and developed by Simon Jones of FremantleMedia. The director is Bruce Gowers (director of Queen's original "Bohemian Rhapsody" video) and executive producers are Nigel Lythgoe (a judge on So You Think You Can Dance) and Ken Warwick (Gladiators and Grudge Match). With the exception of the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards, American Idol is the highest rated (viewed) program on U.S. national television.
