American Idol Live BIO
American Idol, formerly known as American
Idol: The Search for a Superstar, is an American television show. It is
part of the Idol series, originated as the UK show Pop Idol, a singing
talent contest to determine the best "undiscovered" young singer in the
country. In recent years it has become one of the most highly publicized
music competitions in the world.
American Idol is shown on the Fox Network in the United States which is
part of News Corporation. It is created by Simon Fuller (manager of the
Spice Girls and S Club 7) and developed by Simon Jones of Thames
Television. The directors are Bruce Gowers (director of Queen's original
"Bohemian Rhapsody" video), Nigel and Simon Lythgoe (directors of
Survivor) and Ken Warwick (Gladiators and Grudge Match).
American Idol is produced by Fremantle North America which is owned by
German Bertelsmann. Each contestant may sign a contract with one of
Bertelsmann's many music labels because Bertelsmann owns half of Sony
BMG. American Idol is managed by 19 Entertainment which is owned by the
international joint venture CKX, Inc.
Once in Hollywood, the three judges narrow
the initial field of several hundred down to a group of 24
semi-finalists (30 in Season 1 and 32 Seasons 2 and 3). In Season 1, the
30 semi-finalists were split into three groups of ten and the top 3 of
each group advanced to the final 10. This left 9, so the tenth finalist
was chosen in a wild card show in which the five performers that were
originally eliminated but the judges felt deserved a second chance
performed again, allowing one to still advance to the golden ten. In
Seasons 2 and 3, the 32 semi-finalists were split into four groups of
eight, who would compete for two slots in the finals. After right were
chosen, a wild card round featuring singers who were previously
eliminated but whom the judges felt deserved a second chance gave the
audience the chance to select one additional contestant through viewer
voting, while each judge selected an additional singer to advance to the
finals, filling the field of twelve.
