If 40 minutes of American Idol‘s results show is not enough for you, then you are going to get a full 60 minutes of it tomorrow.
When AMERICAN IDOL cuts to commercial break later in the show, the behind-the-scenes excitement will continue LIVE during the ad break, giving viewers an exclusive peek from backstage, the IDOL stage and the audience. The LIVE show content will appear on-screen simultaneously alongside each official sponsor’s commercial airing during the results show. Also, the official series sponsors will gain added exposure with on-screen graphics and wraps in these double-boxed commercial pods.
The “double box†keeps viewers connected to the storytelling of the program by giving the feeling of being at a live show, in turn keeping them attentive throughout the commercial pod and continually engaged with the larger window that features the advertising message. Combined with the branding of the on-screen wrap, ad engagement is heightened over full-screen format, a significant benefit to key sponsors.
I am hoping that we get to see a smackdown between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, but I don’t think we will get anything close to that because they will know the camera is on them.
I guess this is American Idol’s way of getting people to actually watch the commercials and not fast forward through them. It will be interesting to see if it will work.
Would you tune in just for this? Do you think other shows like Dancing with the Stars and The Voice should do it too?
The reason why Simon Cowell never gets his panties in a twist, is because he never wears any.
Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams revealed to Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw (via Press Association) that “Simon doesn’t wear underwear.” Walliams’ co-judge the competition show added Amanda Holden confirmed he goes commando all the time. She then explained they found out about during the auditions, “I can’t reveal how we discovered this.” So not fair, I want to know how she found out.
Cowell, who was also part of the interview, only nodded when asked if it was true.
His shirts might be too tight, but his pants have some extra room in them where his underwear should be. And that was something I didn’t need to know.
Mariah Carey is so special to American Idol that she got a helicopter to take her home from work yesterday. Her husband Nick Cannon Tweeted the above picture and said “Leaving American Idol in the Helicopter with my amazing wife @MariahCarey #WWLD” Then to rub her co-judge Nicki Minaj’s face in their form of transportation, he then Tweeted “They always say LA traffic is the worst… Funny, I don’t see none up here!” No wonder Minaj was late last week and Mariah wasn’t. The Va Va Voom singer doesn’t get to Fly in Starships to work, she has to drive in a car like the rest of us. If I were Nicki, I would make the Fox singing competition let me take the helicopter too. And if I were Fox, I would force Nicki and Mariah to share the copter together and film their time alone in it!!! That would definitely help with the ratings and the show desperately needs something to get more viewers to tune into it.
Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest have split according to People. The couple, who had been dating for two years, blame their “break” up on their busy work schedules. But let’s be real, I bet it is because he hasn’t put a ring on it.
Curtin Finch Jr was eliminated from American Idol yesterday and when the decision was announced Nicki Minaj said, “I’m done” and tried to walk off. Eventually she sat back down because she tried to convince the other judges to use their save on him and they opted not to. So Ryan Seacrest asked her about that, and she explained that felt she needed more time to convince Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson and Keith Urban to vote her way. You can tell that the two men are sick of Nicki’s antics and were like more time wouldn’t have made any difference.
I don’t get why she is so upset that he was voted off when she wasn’t even there to see his performance that led to his elimination. That’s because she was late to the live show the night beforehand.
So will she keep her word and quit the Fox show? We will have to wait until next week to find out, but let’s be real she ain’t going no where.
