Interesting. After the last two or three years, frankly I'm surprised there will be another season.

Season 11 was a good season too. They almost killed the show with Season 9, but Season 10 and Season 11 were great. (Winner of season 11, was disappointing..but still...Phillip Phillips has one of the biggest selling singles ever of any contestant from that show.)
I don't know how they'll cut back anymore..and really..some of the changes they made to the show killed it quicker than it needed to be killed.

Well it will be interesting to see how they end the show and how they will "pay tribute to previous years".
Quote:Fox is officially closing the curtain on American Idol after its upcoming 15th season, the network announced Monday.
American Idol XV will have the same judges as the last two cycles—Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr.— along with the show’s host, Ryan Seacrest, who has been with the series from the beginning.
Fox noted that the final season will pay tribute to the show’s previous years.

I wish they'd do it right though. Have a two episode per week show, just finish it off in style. It's a 15 season series..that's really special and it deserves a great finale season even if heir aren't as many viewers.

Nice idea, mercfan. Given that AI seems to be financially struggling, it's hard to think that they'll do two episodes per week, but that certainly would help showcase the past contestants. What I hope is that, during the final season, they can cast a great group of competitors.
