Bet you wouldn’t even know that American Idol was still on except for your aunt’s obsession with getting home by 8 pm every Tuesday and Wednesday. Most people in the world stopped caring a long time ago, and then we really stopped caring when Adam Levine and the rest of the judges over at The Voice (aka the exact same show except with giant, spinning chairs) were way better than Simon, Paula, and Randy. In fact, I can’t name anyone who started out on the reality singing show and is still relevant except Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and maybeeee but not really Phillip Phillips. Finally, after 15 seasons, American Idol will be no more.
E! News reports that current judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr., and Keith Urban will all return for the show’s final season which is slated to start in January.
You think Ryan Seacrest and the judges have enough other projects to keep them going? Yeah, we’re thinking everyone except that guy who is at karaoke every week with dreams of screaming, “I’m going to Hollywood!” while clutching a yellow envelope is going to be okay. You’re going to need to get famous the old fashion way, whatever that is. The way that doesn’t involve reality television.
Check out the final three contestants of season 14 right here…the winner is being crowned this week!
