Between Tamyra Gray's shocking elimination and Kelly Clarkson's come-from-behind win, the show's first string of episodes played out like a reality TV fairy tale.
Now that Upfronts 2015 have entered the scheduling phase, we thought most of the major renewals, cancellations and pickups had delivered their biggest surprises. Not so apparently, as FOX has decided to put American Idol out to pasture after 15 seasons, ending the reality singing competition for good next year.
Earlier today (May 9), we learned that ‘American Idol’ producers reportedly plan to replace judges Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban with a new set of panelists next season due to low ratings. Never one to bite her tongue, Minaj responded to the rumors and Jackson confirmed that he has, in fact, decided to call it quits.
Well, it’s official. Randy Jackson will not be returning as a judge on ‘American Idol,’ but he will remain as a “mentor” for the show.
