Blog #48 – What are 6 big changes in American Idol? We got two new judges,,…… American Idol is reworking things this season — and not just the judges! The age limit has been changed to include contestants as young as 15-years-old — and it seems to make a whole lot of sense! The biggest acts in music these days, be it Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus, all got their start very, very young! Idol would be smart to find another member of this incredibly talented, and highly profitable, group!
While past Idol winners have shown amazing talent, few have seen staying power to find themselves at the top of the industry, save Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson (who it must be noted did not in fact win her season, or even make it to the finals). Adam Lambert seems like he may be on his way to this level, but it seems a little to early to say!
So the best thing Idol could do it appears is find an incredible young talent who will relate with the show’s audience as well as the millions of younger fans who seem to now be driving the record industry!
