American Idol a concept

American Idol is an annual American televised singing competition that started on June 11, 2002. The concept was taken from the UK reality program Pop Idol. American Idol is a part of the Idol franchise. The objective of the program is to seek out and to discover the best young singer in the country. The talented singers are scrutinized through a series of examinations and make it to the final rounds of the competition via the approval of a panel of judges. The nationwide auditions are also a part of the judgment as verdict. The latter stages of this competition are wholly determined by public voting.

The American Idol competition show has three great judges who frequently critique the contestants' performances in order to facilitate the voting. Randy Jackson ?the record producer and bass player; Paula Abdul ?a former pop star; and Simon Cowell ?a UK producer and manager are the three judges of American Idol. Ryan Seacrest is the current host of the competition show.
