AMERICAN IDOLS HEATS UP ON DSTV
This season of American Idols is heating up on DStv as talented contestants start to shine through and give amazing performances.
American Idol is a reality television competition to find new solo singing talent. Part of the Idol franchise, it was created by Simon Fuller as a spin-off from the British show Pop Idol. Debuting on June 11, 2002, as American Idol: The Search for a Superstar on the Fox network, the show has since become one of the most popular in the history of American television. As of January 2011 it is the most-watched TV series in the Nielsen ratings and is the only program to have been number one for six consecutive seasons. The show was described by rival TV executives as "the most impactful show in the history of television."
Golden Globe-nominated actress, platinum-selling recording artist, movie producer and entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez and multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Steven Tyler, the frontman of Aerosmith – the best-selling American rock band of all time – have joined American Idol as judges. Lopez and Tyler will join returning Idol judge Randy Jackson for the 10th anniversary season, which premieres January 2011 on FOX.
In addition, Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, co-founder of Beats Audio and one of the world's most successful and prolific music producers, will join American Idol as an in-house mentor. Throughout the season, Idol will go behind-the-scenes to feature Iovine working with and lending his expertise to the contestants as they compete to become the next American Idol.
Meet the new judges below.
Steven Tyler is the iconic songwriter, composer and voice of Aerosmith – America’s greatest rock-and-roll band – and is considered one of rock’s most recognizable and dynamic frontmen. Rolling Stone has named him one of the greatest singers of all time.
The quintessential lead singer, Tyler is also known to play harmonica, percussion (he began his career as a drummer) and piano on occasion. His one-of-a-kind style can always be seen at the microphone with his signature scarves wrapped around the mic stand, outrageous hats and embellished stage clothes supporting his unmatched stage swagger.
The band has sold over 100 million records and has won numerous prestigious awards.
Actress, singer, producer and entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez has sold over 55 million records worldwide and starred in multiple box office No. 1s. The two simultaneous No. 1 honors made Lopez the first woman to have a No. 1 movie and album in the same week.
Lopez continues to demonstrate a commitment to making a difference through her various philanthropic endeavors. She divides her time between New York and Los Angeles.
Tune into American Idols on the MNet Series Channel on Sundays at 2pm as it will soon be the time when fans begin to fall in love with semi-finalists during the American Idol live shows.
