Want to know when Americal Idol is coming back?
November 5th, 2006 under American Idol 1-5. [ Comments: none ]

It’s almost that time again. USA TODAY’s never-idle Idol reporter, Bill Keveney, has the scheduling scoop for Idol’s Season 6: air dates for the audition rounds (which start with a pair of two-hour episodes Jan. 16 and 17) and the "Hollywood" (or wherever in L.A. they actually winnow the auditiion winners) episodes (Feb. 6, 7, 13, 14). Bill also chatted with Idol nabobs Nigel Lythgoe — who promises some of the worst singers ever but swears the producers can tell the difference between sincerely deluded bad singers and performance artists trying to contrive their way onto the show by being deliberately awful — and Simon Cowell, who hated the auditioners in Seattle and says so in no uncertain terms, no doubt hoping to foment at least a regional controversy. On the other hand, Simon says he loves Randy, Paula and Ryan (although Lythgoe counters, "They always get on each other’s nerves. They never behave well."), modestly calls Idol’s judge team "the best judging panel of (any) show in the world," and wryly observes about the auditions, "There was a lot of sucking up going on –- which we encourage." Simon is clearly in mid-season form already.

American Music Award winning funk-rock act Bomb Squad have announced their new front person as Brenna Gethers. The 25 year-old enjoyed national success as a finalist on this past season’s American Idol. "My stint on American Idol allowed me to do what I love to do—sing for millions of people," says Gethers. "I’m looking forward to bringing great music to the masses with Bomb Squad." Gethers recently returned from a tour in Texas, where she opened for American Idol’s Ruben Studdard. The Bomb Squad will write and rehearse during the fall and are planning a tour introducing the new lineup prior to the holidays.
