The ninth season of
American Idol is already underway: the first round of auditions have finished, the callbacks are underway, and sooner we could have an idea about who the Top 36 is. Behind the scenes, things are getting hot, too: Paula Abdul has left the show, and the search is on for a replacement as the rest feel sad about the departure.
American Idol season 9 is shaping up to be an interesting, different and anticipated season--and that's without us knowing who'll sing on the stage.
While season 9 has yet to kick off in January, we've begun talking about everything that surrounds the show. Check back here for news and other bits about
American Idol, and check back here again as the season gets underway, and our coverage gets underway, too.
