Are you like me, and have you been wondering how American Idol will go live for the live shows while we are all being quarantined all over the United States? Today, Ryan Seacret gave us an update.
The first live show will be on April 26th, with Seacrest in…his Los Angeles house. Also, from that city will be the pregnant Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. While they will be in their homes in LA, Luke Bryan and Bobby Bones will be sitting on their couches in Nashville.
When it comes to the contestants, they will be singing from their homes. I wonder how they will handle the accompanying music? It would be nice if it is all about the singers’ voices and not the instruments. That is one of the problems I have with Idol. The music is too overpowering.
What do you think of the at-home version of American Idol?

For some reason, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan put on a pair of roller skates to do a bit for American Idol. However, American Idol was Katy Perry’s downfall. As in her skate got caught in some signage on the floor and she kissed the floor. I don’t think she liked it.
Lionel Richie went over to do a joke. As she reached over to him to help her up, he walked away like he was ready to be dancing on the ceiling. Then the country singer skated over like a baseball player successfully stealing home.
Katy was safe because she continued to skate and nearly fall.
She is just like me and doesn’t get the hint. I broke my left wrist roller skating. I should have stopped then because I broke my right forearm doing it again at 13. Perry better watch out or she might be breaking more than records.
Earlier this summer, ABC announced that Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Bobby Bones will all be back on American Idol next year. However, there was one name missing from the list and of course, it is AI original Ryan Seacrest.
Today, after months of is he or isn’t he, we finally got our answer. The host is going to Hollywood! He had this to say about embarking on his 18th season with the show, “It’s the greatest gift to be able to play a part in discovering new talent with a franchise that has been such a relevant part of American culture for so many years.”
Are you happy he is back or were you looking forward to a change? I was hoping they would have gotten a new host. It needs to grow up now that the singing competition is no longer a minor.
ABC announced today that Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Bobby Jones will all be back on American Idol next year. However, there was one name missing from that group. It is Ryan Seacret. The only on-air talent who has been with the show since the beginning.
Does that mean he is making like his catchphrase and Seacrest out? Karey Burke
President, ABC Entertainment, said, “We are in ongoing conversations with Ryan and we hope he will be returning.”
No reason was given for the delay, but I am sure it is a money issue. Does he really need more of it? He hosts and produces so many shows, what it is going to do with all of that dough? The other reason, I am assuming for the delay, is that he does not want to be traveling back and forth from New York to Los Angeles every week for the singing competition show.
If he does leave Idol, it makes you wonder what his future with Live with Kelly and Ryan will be. Most TV contracts are three years and this is his third year on the morning talk show. I would not be surprised if he left at the end of his contract. The same way it was hard for me as an NYer to live in Atlanta, I am sure it is hard for that boy from Atlanta to live in NYC.
Lionel Richie shared a video of Luke Bryan dancing for Katy Perry after a long day of filming at Disneyland, and I think the Country singer might be losing it. I mean how else can explains those moves? They are those of a drunk guy at the bar around 3a trying to pick up the last few women that are still there and not someone who is a judge on American Idol. Which makes it a good thing that dancing is not one of the requirements for the singing competition or he would not be sitting at the judges’ table.
