Another Season of American Idol has come and gone. Season 22 crowned winner Abi Carter Sunday night, and judge Katy Perry bid the show farewell. Perry sat at the judges’ panel for seven seasons alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
Following 15 seasons on Fox, ABC revived the singing competition series in 2018. The show began in June 2002, and it launched careers of musicians like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and more. A different trio of judges — Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul — helmed the show at the start alongside host Ryan Seacrest — who has shepherded the show through all of its changes.
ABC has not yet announced who will replace Perry as a judge and join the ranks of past and present celebrity judges. Below, find a list of all the judges in American Idol history.

Carrie Underwood Open To More Babies?
Life has been a whirlwind since Carrie Underwood won Season 4 of American Idol in 2005. Her career took off and she has not stopped since. Not only was she singing her heart out but she was doing promotions and even tried her hand at acting. Then, she met professional hockey player, Mike Fisher, and fell in love with him. The two ended up tying the knot nearly two years after they met in a 2010 ceremony. Carrie’s career was booming so their first child, Isaiah was not born until 2015. They then welcomed their second son, Jacob in 2019 but the road to motherhood was less than easy.

The contributions of Black artists to country music have been marginalized, minimized, and, in some cases, wholly erased from the genre’s history. A group of songwriters, singers, activists, and journalists aimed to set the record straight on Wednesday during a live panel discussion in Nashville. Dubbed “Act III: A Conversation Around ‘Three Chords and the Actual Truth,’” the event was presented by the Black Music Action Coalition and the org’s co-founder, president, and CEO, Willie “Prophet” Stiggers.

Do American Idol losers end up having more success and longevity than the winners of the hit reality singing competition?

So, is it better to not win but have your name and voice out there? Keep reading for more details.
Do American Idol Losers Have More Success Than Winners?
The top 12 on American Idol is chock full of talent so it can be hard to predict who will win. As time has gone by, it almost does not even matter if someone wins because they will inevitably find success.

Jason Aldean paid tribute to Toby Keith at the 2024 ACM Awards, performing an elegantly low-key version of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” Keith’s 1993 debut single, backed by a string quartet.
Blake Shelton introduced the performance, honoring his fellow Oklahoma native. The audience singing along was loud and clear as Aldean delivered the classic song. Behind Aldean, photos of Keith performing or with his family flashed by, and the camera often panned to tearful and visibly moved audience members.
Keith died in February at age 62 after a yearslong battle with stomach cancer.

Wilson just won the Country Music Association Award for Entertainer of the Year last fall in a major upset. Then earlier this year she claimed the Grammy for Best Country Album for “Bell Bottom Country.” Things have been going her way long enough now that she’s the odds-on favorite to claim the ACMs’ top prize too, even though Entertainer of the Year seldom goes to women; Carrie Underwood (2020) and Miranda Lambert (2022) are the...

Entertainer of the Year is the biggest prize at the Academy of Country Music Awards, honoring an artist’s incredible year across all metrics, like touring, streaming and radio. While there is no specific formula on how to predict the winner, it’s often someone who dominated the country sphere in more ways than one, and who solidified themselves as the face of country music. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the seven-person race for this year’s award.
If we are going by process of elimination, perhaps the first person out is Kane Brown. He is one of country music’s most popular artists of the past 10 years, undoubtedly so. However, 2023 wasn’t necessarily a standout year for him, evidenced by the fact that he is only nominated in this category. Plus, Brown is surely going to be back in a stronger year, perhaps with...

Outspoken country star Gabby Barrett called out a lot of people in Nashville with her recent comments. More specifically, she called out the Mean Girl clique that exists among the stars in the genre, and she had plenty to say about it.
Gabby Barrett Has Never Been Afraid To Be Herself
In all aspects of life, there are people who go along with the status quo. These people never rock the boat, and always stay in their lane. Gabby Barrett is not one of these people. Barrett has made a name for herself by being herself, unapologetically so.
One thing about Gabby Barrett is, she calls it just as she sees it. This is true even when what she has to say may ruffle some feathers and get under some skin. In the entertainment industry, and in life, a lot of it comes down to who you know. As for Barrett,...

Luke Combs is the man of the hour. The 59th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, April 9, and Combs came out on top with eight bids, including Entertainer of the Year. Check out the complete list of nominations here.
This is Combs’s fifth nomination in a row for Entertainer of the Year, an award he has yet to win. This year he’s up against Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and lone female nominee Lainey Wilson. Women are consistently underrepresented in Entertainer of the Year, though Carrie Underwood won in 2020 (in a tie with Thomas Rhett) and Miranda Lambert finally prevailed in 2022. But we mustn’t underestimate Wilson here. She pulled off a huge upset at the CMA Awards last fall, claiming Entertainer of the Year despite being relatively new on the scene.

Jelly Roll was the big winner at the CMT Music Awards for the second year in a row. Except this time, for the first time, his victories included the top award of the night: Video of the Year. Check out the complete list of winners here.
This year Jelly Roll won all three of his nominations: Video of the Year and Male Video of the Year for “Need a Favor,” and CMT Performance of the Year for his live performance of “Need a Favor” at the 2023 CMT Music Awards. Last year he also won Male Video of the Year (for “Son of a Sinner”) in addition to Male Breakthrough Video of the Year and CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year (also for “Son of a Sinner”). It seems, judging from his undefeated streak at these awards so far, that Jelly Roll has one of the most passionate fan bases in current country music.

Carrie Underwood is a household name in country music, and is one of the biggest-selling artists to ever make waves in the genre. She is more than qualified to speak on country music, and recently, she gave her honest, raw take on the current state of the genre. So, what did she have to say?
Carrie Underwood Has Come A Long Way Since Her American Idol Start
Carrie Underwood was first introduced to a national audience when she competed on American Idol. She was the winner of Season 4 all the way back in 2005. Even back then, audiences recognized her star power. She may have not fully realized all of that potential until after winning her season, along with everything that came after, but the seeds for what she would become were already planted.

Lorne Michaels is an expert at celebrating the legacy of “Saturday Night Live.” The show’s creator has produced variety specials for the NBC program’s 15th anniversary, 25th anniversary and 40th anniversary, so the upcoming 50th season should have a highly entertaining spectacle. Nothing less than a three-hour event would be expected, but how else should “SNL” celebrate the golden anniversary season, which would begin in the autumn of 2024 and continue through May, 2025?
Here is our exciting, fun suggestion for a way to go above and beyond for the live special. Over the course of a 20-22 episode season, NBC would certainly have almost every episode featuring the current cast along with hot guest hosts and musical guests. However, for the other five episodes spread out over several months, devote an entire 90 minutes to each previous decade. Invite back the biggest cast members from a decade along with well-known guest hosts and music stars.

Blake Shelton is one lucky man. Many superstars of his caliber have difficulty finding the inspiration to to become superstars and to continue to be one. This is not the case for the “Boys ‘Round Here” singer. Blake Shelton was lucky enough to have been able to find his inspiration all around him. In fact, the inspiration for his career in country music was practically in his own backyard.

In addition to performing two songs as musical guest, Ariana Grande popped up in a couple sketches on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, including one that poked fun at Moulin Rouge!
The sketch recreated scenes from the 2001 movie musical, with Grande portraying Nicole Kidman’s Satine and Bowen Yang as Ewan McGregor’s Christian. The original Baz Luhrmann film took contemporary pop songs, mashed them up, and placed them 1900 Paris. The SNL sketch also did that, but to the extreme, using Grande’s vocal talents to create ridiculous musical mash-ups.

Ariana Grande wasn’t just the musical guest during the March 9 episode of “Saturday Night Live.” While she took the stage to perform two songs from “Eternal Sunshine,” her just-released sixth album, “We Can’t Be Friends” and “Imperfect For You” — and was introduced by her mom, Joan Grande, for the second number — she also took on two different sketches.
After appearing as a patient in a group therapy session during the first half of the show, she was invited back to the stage later on in the night for a “Moulin Rouge” spoof, giving her the opportunity to sing covers of multiple hit songs.
The sketch created a PBS special, hosted by Mikey Day, taking a look at what the “Elephant Love Medley” would have looked like had director Baz Luhrmann known they’d be able to get the rights to other love songs; Bowen Yang and Grande played Christian and Satine,...

For stars seeking new opportunities and a streamlined process, another high-powered and inventive player in the brand-builder space is CAA-backed Caravan, a business incubator that specializes in matching start-up companies with high-wattage entertainers and athletes.

Derek Hough and his wife Hayley Erbert, who underwent an emergency craniectomy before Christmas, posted an update Monday on social media about her health.
Sitting with Hough in front of the camera, Erbert admitted she’s had both good days and bad after she was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel. The couple, who were married in August, were performing their Symphony of Dance tour in December when she became disoriented and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.
“I’m doing so much better every single day, so much progress every single day,” she said. “There was a moment in the hospital when I had just woken up from my first surgery and Derek was sitting at the bottom at bed, saying so many people were thinking about [her].”
“Through this experience this woman has been unbelievable,” Hough continued. “Her perseverance, her acceptance has been remarkable to witness firsthand.

The music business is all about the next big act, the next big performer. Who’s going to break out. Who’s going to be the next household name. The Grammys, over the years and to varying degrees of success, has delivered that prediction with its Best New Artist prize.
Starting with Bobby Darin in 1960, the award has been the harbinger of who’s going to be topping the music world … some of the time. Darin didn’t do too bad in his long music and acting career. In 1965, a little combo from the UK made the cut and The Beatles went on to become one of the greatest bands ever.
Some other highlights of the Best New Artist roster. In 1962, Peter Nero was the first jazz musician to win. Bobbie Gentry was the first woman to win in 1968. The Carpenters, Richard and Karen, was the first duo to win...
