“American Idol” requires radical changes!
The ninth season of competition between non-professional singers gathers at the screens of 25 million weekly viewers. As a result, the activity of advertisers, every half-hour show programs are 8,1 million dollars every half hour, a total of over 32 million dollars for a two-hour episode.
But this is only statistic for people, but telling the truth this show has much more problems and needs radical changes. The first steps have been started. As it was announced, "American Idol" will be extended to 90 minutes in Tuesdays, and halved to 30 minutes in Wednesdays, in the next year.
Other changes in this American's top-rated TV show should be taken inside the show team: judges, producers, Kara new role, new interesting themes and musical supervision and scoring.
Changes in judges stuff: It seems to me, that Randy Jackson takes much time but say a little. Ellen DeGeneres' is not funny enough and what concerns Kara DioGuardi, so this woman is not so skillful in some moments, and sometimes it's put out!
Elton John - a superstar and that says it all!
P. Diddy "cool man"! Great producer, rapper, record executive, which brings variety to this show!
Paula Abdul - funny women. She is hocusing the situation, by her spontaneity. So, Paula we are waiting for you the next "Idol" season too!
If we speak about Kara's new role, so I want to mention, that DioGuardi writes songs for famous endorsements, such as Christina Aguilera, Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Warner Bros.company, as well as for "American Idol". But here, should be paid attention to the songs, which would be easy for non professional singers. Musical Genius Kara can write great songs for those singers.

Producer's role is the most important in this show! It's all depending upon producers viewing of the future scene and the result of performance. The new "Idol" season truly needs new record producer, the great example of which may be David Foster ("Idol" 2005).
One more fresh idea, when the competition has been trimmed to 12 finalists, "Idol" should enlist a hit producer each week. Among them may be: Linda Perry, Max Martin, Rodney Jerkins, Dr. Luke, Timbaland, John Shanks, Kanye West, Dann Huff, Stargate, will.i.am, Butch Walker, John Rich and J.R. Rotem.
New song themes and fresh musical arrangement for "Idol" are highly recommended! With no doubt! Most of viewers are teenagers and they prefer modern music, instead of Sinatra and Elvis!
Besides, in order to attract more viewers, there should be made some changes in voting procedure!
"American Idol" is one of the best viewed shows in the USA, so don't let it lose ground!
