A New Season Of American Idol

The masses were alerted in May that American Idol would return to the big screen after a two year break. The show has churned out some big names including Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, just to name two.

Though the days of Simon, Paul and Randy are long gone, this season will still feature some big name judges. Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan gear up for the new season. In this video, we get a glimpse into the judges flipping the script on what they’re looking for in the next big star.

Both Richie and Perry agree that they will provide the contestants with more than just coaching, but rather provide some mentorship this season. Aww, guys, you’re too sweet!
