In 2011, Jennifer Lopez made the surprising but ultimately fruitful decision to become a judge on American Idol. At this stage in her career, she had begun to feel relatively aimless. She didn’t have as many opportunities as she once did and she craved a new challenge. While some warned her that taking the job would be a mistake, she was grateful for what it did for her image.
Jennifer Lopez said joining ‘American Idol’ was good for her
When Simon Cowell exited American Idol, Lopez swept in to replace him. Her career was in a lull and she felt it was a good step for her.
“I had the kids and wasn’t being offered a whole bunch of stuff,” she told Variety in 2019, adding, “I really concentrated on my marriage. I was going around with Marc [Anthony].”

Over a month after her untimely death, the cause of Mandisa‘s death has been revealed to be complications of class III obesity. The American Idol and Grammy-winning singer was 47. According to the autopsy obtained by People, the star was found dead in her Tennessee home on April 18. Mandisa “was last known alive approximately three weeks” earlier, the report said, and she was found by friends. The cause of death is listed as natural and confirms her father John Hundley’s belief that his daughter did not harm herself, as expressed to Fox Digital News in May. He told the outlet that detectives “looked for signs that she may have harmed herself, and there were no signs to indicate that she did anything” of that nature. Days after Mandisa’s death was first reported on April 19 by K-Love, a Christian radio network, Tennessee police confirmed that there were no signs of foul play.

There is a thought process that the people who lose on American Idol often have better careers than the champions. While the long-term success remains to be seen, runner-up WIll Moseley is actually more successful right now than champion Abi Carter.
Here is what you need to know about the two competitors as they start their musical careers.
Will Moseley Is Out-Selling American Idol Champion Abi Carter
Abi Carter won American Idol this season, beating out runner-up Will Moseley. She won largely thanks to her incredible renditions of songs like Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” However, now that she is the Idol champion, she seems to have fallen behind the person she beat, country singer Will Moseley.

Carter’s first single to hit the Billboard charts is her original song, “This Isn’t Over.” The single was pretty successful, reaching No.

Now 29, she serves as the series’ social correspondent (a post she’s held since 2021), bringing viewers behind the scenes and interviewing contestants on both the syndicated Wheel and ABC’s Celebrity Wheel of Fortune for after-show segments on social media. Maggie has also taken the Wheel stage, subbing for Vanna White in 2023 when White took over Pat’s job for a week. And when her father announced his departure after 43 years, speculation circled about the younger Sajak taking the game show’s helm. She won’t…yet. The new host will be American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest.

It seems incredible that when she still went by the name of Katy Hudson, the now-famous singer was dropped by her record label. Actually, lots of people had that happen to them, but few of them became so famous. Six years later, she signed with Capitol Records and her bank balance just keeps on growing.

Many fans feel that they can say and do whatever they want when it comes to reality TV stars. However, when it comes to the Survivor producers, they have a message for their fans. While fans feel they have the First Amendment right to say anything hateful they want, this reality show prefers its fans to “practice kindness.”
Here is what the reality show had to say to its fans about not being cruel.
Survivor Calls Out Fans For Hateful Comments
Too many fans today love to mock and send hateful comments to people who compete on reality TV shows. It seems that being anonymous and being a keyboard means people know they can be as cruel and hateful as they want without facing repercussions for their poor attitudes. Survivor has had enough of it.

Jason Aldean's wife Brittany Aldean received very mixed feedback as she showed off her stunning figure in swimwear on Instagram. In June 2022, the American Idol face and wife to country star Jason struck backyard poses in a structured orange bikini and pants look, flaunting her killer curves in a bandana and shades and seemingly having fans on the fence about her outfit. Despite a witty caption, Brittany fell under fire in the comments, with many deeming her ensemble ugly and unflattering. The mom of two does not appear to have addressed the haters.

Jason Aldean's wife Brittany Aldean received very mixed feedback as she showed off her stunning figure in swimwear on Instagram. In June 2022, the American Idol face and wife to country star Jason struck backyard poses in a structured orange bikini and pants look, flaunting her killer curves in a bandana and shades and seemingly having fans on the fence about her outfit. Despite a witty caption, Brittany fell under fire in the comments, with many deeming her ensemble ugly and unflattering. The mom of two does not appear to have addressed the haters.

Netflix made some noise in the unscripted world when it hired Jeff Gaspin, the former NBCUniversal chief, as its new defacto reality boss earlier this year.
The hire ostensibly signaled that the streamer wanted to step up its unscripted efforts and take on the broadcast networks when it comes to buying big entertainment formats.
During his time as NBC’s head of alternative entertainment, he developed series including The Apprentice, The Biggest Loser and Deal or No Deal and after his promotion, his last act as Chairman of NBC Universal Television was buying The Voice, which other than The Masked Singer, was arguably the last major entertainment format to breakthrough on the broadcast nets.
Netflix is now doubling down on efforts to find its version of The Voice.
“The difference from the past is we want to focus on bigger formats, more of what you would call broadcast-style shows versus the cable style shows.

American Idol winners don’t always stay with their record label as they navigate their music careers, and now, another one has done likewise. Some of them like Maddie Poppe were devasted to lose their record label. Meanwhile, others get dropped or changed because they make mistakes like Laine Hardy.
American Idol Winners Don’t Always Make It Big
Katy Perry often advises the winner of the talent show, and she knows that winning isn’t the end of the journey to success. In fact it’s just the beginning. While a record label forms part of the prize from ABC, not everyone hangs in there.

She auditioned for the role in 2010, when she featured as a guest judge on the show. Despite her spat with Kara DioGuardi, a regular on the show at the time, the guest-judging gig left Perry determined to be a part of the show.

Netflix is bolstering its entertainment formats unit with a big new music competition series.
The streamer has ordered Building The Band (w/t) as it shifts its focus away from cable-esque fare to competing with the major broadcast networks for the next The Voice or American Idol.
Check back tomorrow for an interview with new Netflix reality boss Jeff Gaspin on the company’s new strategy.
Building the Band seeks to discover the next great music group without bandmates initially meeting face-to-face. The series brings together 50 of the most talented singers to compete for a chance to form their own band without ever seeing each other. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit. What will happen when the bands finally meet and… looks, choreography, and style come into play?
The series comes from The Wall producer Remarkable Entertainment, which is part of Banijay UK.

With Katy Perry leaving American Idol as one of the judges, fans are making guesses at who will replace her. Many fans have already made a wish list with names like Jon Bon Jovi on them. However, there is a new guess and it is based on something a megastar has said this year.
Here is who some think might be joining American Idol next season.
Will Adele Join American Idol As New Judge?
A Reddit post was started with an embed from a social media post. In that post, someone claimed that Adele was considering joining American Idol as Katy Perry’s replacement. The reasoning given is that she wants to have a second baby and wants something more laid back (that still pays well) than her Vegas residency.

Following his split from Aubrey Paige Petcosky, Ryan Seacrest is back on the dating scene, but this time around, he’s taking extra precautions.
The American Idol host isn’t taking any chances with his potential lady loves, and at this stage in the game, he’s taking inventory to ensure that his future girlfriends check all the boxes.
An insider recently spoke with Closer Weekly and revealed Ryan’s list of requirements for any woman interested in dating the future Wheel of Fortune host.
“She must be young, pretty, and ambitious to a point,” the source shared.
Ryan, 49, is also conducting background checks on prospective partners as a form of protection. If any red flags arise, they’re immediately out of the running.
“Ryan’s insisting on background checks,” the insider spilled. “He’s not proud about it, but he feels they’re necessary to protect himself.”

Veteran unscripted producer Wendy Miller was attending a gathering for women over 40 in unscripted television who are unemployed when she had the idea. Though the get-together could easily have turned maudlin, one woman brought levity to the proceedings by telling a story about working on a past show that cracked up the whole room. Miller envisioned a storytelling event, akin to The Moth, where reality TV workers could share outrageous career tales to a paying audience, thus raising money for needy peers: “All of us are unemployed and have no money, but there are people who are way worse. What if we use this as an opportunity to raise money for someone who’s really in dire straits?” Miller pitched the group.
The ensuing “Hollywood Horror Happy Hour” (tagline: “We’re All Broke. Let’s Laugh About It!”), which took place May 21, was just one sign of the times in the nonfiction TV business.

With 25 seasons under its belt, The Voice has seen its fair share of coaching rotations, especially because multiple seasons of the singing competition show air per year. It took American Idol twice the amount of time to reach 20 seasons, but so far, those two singing competition shows haven’t overlapped in terms of judges and coaches. The original four figures to shape the show’s trajectory were country singer Blake Shelton, Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine, “Fighter” singer Christina Aguilera and “Forget You” singer CeeLo Green.
Other celebrities with music backgrounds have cycled through the four red spinning chairs since the show began in 2011. The singers who have judged have also covered a wide range of genres from pop to country to rap and more.
Season 26’s panel has been established as Reba McEntire, who has been with the show since Season 24, veteran coach Gwen Stefani and newcomers Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé.

TV audiences tracked down “Tracker” in a big way this season. The freshman CBS drama, which stars Justin Hartley as a survivalist who helps law enforcement and others solve tough cases, was the 2023-24 TV season’s most-watched entertainment series. According to the Eye network, that’s the first time a first-year TV series was ranked as the No. 1 show since “Survivor” premiered as an instant phenomenon in 2000.
“Tracker” was helped, of course, by premiering in February behind Super Bowl Lviii — giving it a huge jump start. And this was an unusual, truncated TV season due to the Hollywood strikes, which meant limited episodic orders for most programs. Last year’s top-rated show, Paramount Network’s “Yellowstone,” hasn’t aired an original episode in more than a year — and yet still made the charts, but via repeats that aired this season on CBS.

Tongi, who became the first Pacific Islander to win the long-running competition series in 2023, has recorded versions of some of the island hits he grew up listening to in Kahuku, Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. This includes a cover of Kolohe Kai’s “Cool Down” and a rendition of Spawnbreezie’s “Dont Let Go” (which he performed on Idol). “I chose ‘Cool Down’ because we all need to take time to relax with all our family and friends and ‘Don’t Let Go’ because I would love the fans to continue to hold on for the ride,” Tongi said in a statement. Tongi first auditioned for American Idol in Season 20 but failed to get past the initial screening.

American Idol ended Season 22 on a high note.
The long-running singing competition series bid farewell to judge Katy Perry during Sunday’s finale episode, with an audience of 5.64M tuning in, according to live + same-day data. That was an 8% increase over the week prior to reach a season high in total viewers.
The finale was up fairly significantly versus the Season 22 average, which was around 4.8M viewers per episode on Sunday nights and 4.1M for Monday nights.
