"American Idol 2010" has arrived, bringing us its much-anticipated ninth season. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, television's No. 1 hit series empowers contestants and viewers to share their voices in deciding who will be America's next singing superstar. "American Idol" Season 9 promises to deliver amazing, undiscovered talent with plenty of surprises along the way.

Every year on "American Idol," tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a shot at stardom. The "American Idol 2010" judges—Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi—travel across the country in search of the next American Idol. They winnow down the competitors to a select group of semifinalists who sing their hearts out each week in front of a studio audience and television viewers. On Season 9 of "American Idol," joined by rotating guest judges including Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Shania Twain and Kristin Chenoweth, the "American Idol 2010" judges visited Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and Orlando in their quest to find performers worthy of the "Golden Ticket" to Hollywood.

Emmy Award-winning talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will replace Paula Abdul and join "American Idol" Season 9 as the new fourth judge sitting alongside Simon, Randy and Kara. As the new judge, Ellen will offer her own unique perspective to the contestants throughout the competition on "American Idol 2010."

The "American Idol" Season 9 judges have their say after every performance, but it's the viewing public that determines who will advance to the next round of competition and who will go home. Voting via telephone and text-messaging begins immediately after each performance show, and the results are announced during the following night's broadcast of "American Idol 2010."

Eventually the "American Idol 2010" competition is narrowed down to two finalists who compete for a major recording contract and the American Idol title.

Past winners of "American Idol" include Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook and Kris Allen, and they have all become household names and made their mark on the recording industry.

Emmy Award-winning "American Idol" is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment Ltd. "American Idol 2010" is executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America; and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America. Bruce Gowers serves as director of "American Idol 2010."
