Both Fantasia and Jennifer are successful, talented women and we should leave it at that. No need to put two incredible women against each other when it is likely something they would not want to hear their fans arguing over.

That seems to be very likely. The health and safety of people is way more important than a singing competition.

I agree that it seems to be getting riskier and riskier by the minute.  But, apparently the Governor of California has given TV and Movie employers the title of "essential workers" so they probably wont shut down unless they are breaking rules.

The Grammy's were just moved to March because of surging covid cases. I wonder if this is going to effect idol filming as well.

How is it possible that there are still no spoilers? Didn't they start Hollywood Week already? Shouldn't we already know who the Top 20 or Top 24 is?

Accurate Top 40/20 Spoilers dont arrive until the end of January. I remember Mjsbigblog posting the Top 70 of Hollywood last year around this time but idk if they are doing that this year. 

Im expecting a surge in singer-songwriter types and also a lot of country powerhouses. 

I dont know if anybody posted this here, but Lionel Richie posted this last week:

"Walking into Hollywood Week like..."
 

This confirms that Hollywood Week is 100% happening at the Dolby Theater, now its just about wondering how many people are attending and how they are going to do Lines of Ten and Duets/Groups.

I’m pretty sure the idol pad is the one who creates this thread but could be wrong. I thought idol maniac is the idol pad and I think they just have good sources

Idol Maniac/The Idol Pad are the same person. They get their spoilers through a secret source, not the audience.

So we will probably have to wait until the show airs to find out who makes it to Hollywood and Top 20 or Top 24.

The Idol Pad says hi.

I can see them doing things the S1-S9 Hollywood Week way this year. The Top 20/24 are chosen based solely on HW performances. No extra round in Hawaii, Vegas, etc. 

I agree with this, but they have  14 weeks of episodes to fill this season and Auditions and Hollywood combined usually only take up 4-5 of those weeks. I dont see them spending 9-10 weeks on lives so what would they fill it with instead? 

Katy Perry was posting wardrobe stuff on TikTok a few days ago so that would make sense that it was already filmed.

She said she doesn't have a confirmation that Hollywood week is happening. It might be not happening.

 

 

Well SOMETHING is happening, which is always good to hear in times like these.

I'm assuming soon. I did notice one contestant flying to LA but I'm not sure if it this week or not?

Yay! Atleast we know its happening  Interested to see how it works out

What about all of getting on a bus to the theater? Are they going to have no one sit in the audience? Where are they supposed to wait to perform? How do you have 300 or more contestants in Hollywood socially distance? How do you have way more than that socially distance during the auditions before Hollywood Week? The Voice, America’s Got Talent and Dancing With The Stars, and The Masked Singer didn’t have 300 or more contestants competing. Only 40 contestants went on to the Battle Rounds on The Voice. I mean if they can make this work, then that would be great. I just think it would be good to try and be realistic.

Last season only had 170 contestants in Hollywood week. One idea they could use is split the amount of contestants into shifts where they record half of the 170 one week, half the other week, and then do results. At the theater, they can stay in the audience area and sit multiple seats apart from eachother. Theres about a million other things that could do too, but the producers likely have this all planned out to a T and we just have to trust them.

Yes that is the point I’m trying to make. The Coronavirus is not under control. If it was under control, we wouldn’t even need masks anymore for anytime we are out of the house and people wouldn’t have COVID or die from it. I don’t know if American Idol can pull off having a show this season the way that The Voice because American Idol is completely different from The Voice especially with the audition rounds and the Hollywood Week rounds.

Coronavirus might not be under control completely, but AGT, The Voice, The Masked Singer, and Dancing With The Stars have all sucessfully completed in-person seasons in the pandemic so I dont see why American Idol wouldnt be able to? The only part of the format they would have to change is the Hollywood Week duets/groups, but they can easily make that socially distanced like The Voice did for Battles and Knockouts. I dont think they will limit the amount of people in Hollywood week because social distancing is easy especially if they are using a large venue.  If dance group acts were able to perform on AGT, there certainly will not be a problem with Individual Solo Acts singing on a stage by themselves at American Idol. I trust the producers to deliver us a safe, iconic, and fun season even if it means changing the format a little bit.

There’s the possibility that the Coronavirus might affect this season.

I dont think it will. The only reason last season had to use the at-home format was because little was known about how dangerous the virus was, there werent any ways to control it, and it came about VERY quickly. Now, there is more knowledge on the virus, readily available testing, ways to social distance, and the ability to quarantine people. Unless there is a large Covid outbreak on the set, the season will go as planned.

Oh wow Alyssa Wray is auditioning. Ive followed her on TikTok for the past few months and shes great, the producers must have done some searching and casting on that platform this year.

Could you also pm it to me? thx sm

I can’t see her going far. The show has never pushed contestants through because they have notable parents. Also, what’s the issue with Gen Z votes?

Theres not really an issue, its just that there are a LOT of Gen Z and they are going to vote her because of her tiktok fame instead of her talent.

Oh my lord....... I hope she gets cut in Hollywood or something, but I can already feel that the producers are going to pimp her because of her defiance against her mom and how popular she has been in the media. If she makes lives shes going to get those gen z votes

Kellyanne Conway’s daughter Claudia Conway is going to be trying out for this season of American Idol.

LOL. Is there evidence to this?

Do we have any Hollywood Week spoilers yet?

Hollywood Week doesnt happen till early December.

Let the countdown begin! 3 months and 4 days.....

I wish we were getting as much spoilers and content as The Voice is right now  but its also super toxic over there on those forums so.....

So are the judges going to have separate desks for Hollywood Week, Hawaii or whatever location they do for Green Mile and basically the rest of the show? Also, how are they going to have mentors for some weeks? Would it be virtual? How are they going to guests perform their songs for results show? Is that going to be virtual too? Would Bobby Bones get tested before coming back as a mentor later on in the show? How often are the judges and contestants going to be tested?

The judges are more than likely going to have separated desks for the entire season. I don't see them going to Hawaii this year or in the foreseeable future because traveling is too much of a risk. As for mentors, they can easily social distance or have the mentors wear masks. On AGT I know that the acts had to get tested at least three times a week, and guest performances were all pre recorded and socially distant. I assume Idol will do the same.
