The criticism that American Idol is ostensibly karaoke on national TV stretches back to its debut in Recent seasons, however, found several contestants receiving positive attention for rearranging songs entirely—translating into immediate buzz for the show and massive iTunes sales David Cook's " Billie Jean ," Adam Lambert's " Tracks of My Tears ," for example.
Perhaps catching on to the in-season success of these performances neither artist has fared particularly well post- Idol , Lythgoe has brought in top record executive Jimmy Iovine to be a full-time mentor for the contestants. Does this mean that this season of Idol will be more aggressive about convincing contestants to play with a song's arrangement? Furthermore, though there have been brilliant Idol moments owed to rearranging classic songs, it's not always a good thing. Simon Cowell will be missed this season for reasons that go beyond his deliciously nasty comments.
As the show's biggest personality, his repartee with Paula Abdul—and then after she left, Ryan Seacrest—made the amount of focus on the judges less agonizing because it was at least entertaining.
The biggest failure of the Kara DioGuardi-Ellen DeGeneres experiment was that the two clearly just didn't get along with Randy and Simon, resulting in awkward, eternal judging sessions after each performance.
Lopez and Seacrest already have a playful banter going on after years of his interviewing Jenny From the Block for his radio show. Randy Jackson has always, to be fair, been a nonentity, leaving Steven Tyler as a wildcard in the group. If this roundtable interview is any indication, the chemistry should be a little odd, if not mostly amusing. Another change Lythgoe is adamant about introducing is the scrapping of theme weeks, which have at their worst found country singers attempting to warble their ways through disco hits and Billy Joel songs.
But perhaps Lythgoe is missing a little bit of the point: that these themed nights have failed in recent seasons because contestants have become so niched that they are eaten alive when forced to perform outside their genres.

Tiffany, the brassy girl from New Jersey of the famous star boobs, is looking for a group. No one wants her after her snotty comment about being better than everyone else. She goes to teen country dude Scotty McCreery to join forces. He asks her to sing for him and he says he doesn't know. He walks away and calls her crazy. She goes to one group and poaches a member. Then Scotty starts a bidding war between two groups. Then he goes to Jordan Dorsey's group and they have him sing and they turn him down.
But now Jordan's group needs someone and he keeps turning people down. Tiffany and Jessica go onstage and grab a microphone to look for a group member and there are no takers.
