In the summer of 2002, a British hit called "Pop Idol" landed on our shores as "American Idol" and became not only an instant success, but one of the biggest shows in American television history. The grueling competition on "American Idol" has crowned Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, and David Cook successively, and has grown bigger and bigger each season.

Television's No. 1 show, "American Idol," returns for its eighth season when it premieres in January on FOX. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, "American Idol" empowers viewers to discover America's next solo singing superstar by voting for their favorites to win the coveted American Idol title.

Every year, tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a shot at stardom and a chance to be the next American Idol. The "American Idol" judges - Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi - winnow down the competitors to a select group of semifinalists who sing their hearts out each week for the studio audience and the television viewers. The "American Idol" judges have their say after every performance, but it's the viewing public that determines who will advance to the next round of the competition and who will go home. Voting via telephone and text messaging begins immediately after each performance show of "American Idol," and the results are announced during the following night's broadcast.

Themes such as country music, hits of the 21st century and Elvis Presley songs add spice to the performance shows on "American Idol," along with appearances and mentoring by legendary artists like Tony Bennett, Jennifer Lopez, Martina McBride and Bon Jovi. These guest performers not only share their expertise with the "American Idol" contestants, they enable audience members to experience a variety of musical styles.

"American Idol" is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; Nigel Lythgoe, President, 19 Television; and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.
