“American Idol” has been renewed for a fifth season on ABC.
It will return in February 2022 for its 20th season overall. Season 19 was one of its most talked-about seasons in the show s history, boasting some of the best talent to grace the “Idol” stage.
Most of the show’s judging panels have been good, but none compare to the phenomenon created with Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. However, I’m pleased with Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan. Richie is one of music’s most lovable, sincere guys.
Season 19 marked the return after COVID-19 and the talent level was remarkable. Most of the finalists were worthy of the top prize.

American Idol s Season 19 finale was a full three hours of songs, surprises, and sappy moments, but as fun as that all was, viewers really wanted to know who was going to win by the end. It was a tight race between finalists
Grace Kinstler,
Willie Spence, and
Chayce Beckham, and unlike past seasons, it wasn t so readily apparent who was the favorite going into the finale. Of course, a winner was revealed at the end of the night, though the winner may not have been who many expected.
