American Idol Live From Home!

By News Apr 21, 2020 | 11:02 AM

This Sunday night American Idol (ABC) will return with new shows. The show will be entirely done from the homes of the contestants, judges and host. Ryan Seacrest will anchor the show from his home, using the original American Idol desk from the Fox series, which he was keeping in his garage. There will be only four episodes, which means multiple eliminations. On Sunday’s episode the top 20 will be cut down to 10. Sounds pretty cutthroat to me. All contestants were sent iPhone cameras and lighting kits and have been working online with producers about how to shoot their performances at home, how to do their own wardrobe, make-up and hair and how to work with the American Idol band and vocal coaches. Judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan will be able to watch the performances along with the contestants on a split screen. Celebrity guests are still planned. The only live moment, will be the finale, when Ryan announces the winner. Buckle up! It’s going to be over before you blink.
