Will the 20th season of the American Idol TV show be music to ABC viewers’ ears? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like American Idol is cancelled or renewed for season 21. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the 20th season episodes of American Idol here.
An ABC singing competition series, the American Idol TV show features returning judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan in season 20 (the fifth season on ABC). Ryan Seacrest returns as host. After making it through the nationwide audition process, the contestant pool is narrowed through a series of elimination rounds. Once the contest reaches the semi-finals, although the judges offer their criticism, the decision to keep or cut a performer is up to the viewing audience. For a specified window of time, fans may vote for their favorites, via phone calls, text messages, and online. The winner claims the “American Idol” title and a recording contract.
What do you think? Which season 20 episodes of the American Idol TV series do you rate as wonderful, terrible, or somewhere between? Do you think that American Idol should be cancelled or renewed for a 21st season on ABC? Don’t forget to vote, and share your thoughts, below.
