just looking on youtube to see what some of the first american idol 2011 auditions are like and this is some of the better ones i have found, i find watching these american idol 2011 auditions that the american idol is a different kind of show really to the x factor.
you cannot really compare x factor to the american idol as both shows seem very different from each other.
i find the american idol to be more of a serious talent show as it not being so much about fun, whereas the x factor seems to be more of a fun talent show, and has more of a fun vibe to it, also the american idol seems to be more contemporary whereas the x factor is more random.
the american idol 2011 and the x factor definitely do seem to be two different kind of talent shows, but on paper they should be quite similar.
i think the new judges for american idol 2011 seem like good choices with Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler and make the show seem fresh and new somewhat as well, so all in all it should be decent series of the american idol.
American Idol-2011-Travis Orlando-Bronx-NY-Superb
"The Season Premier of American Idol was great, a young man from the Bronx took center stage as the final act Travis Orlando and it was pure delight, I can hardly wait to hear more. Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez as well as host Ryan Seacrest were wonderful, it looks as though this may be one of the best years of Idol and a great way to start off a new decade."

American Idol (season 10)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tenth season of American Idol premiered on January 19, 2011, on Fox. This will be the first season for which 15 year-olds may audition.[2] The show has undergone a number of changes since season nine, which include the reduction of the judging panel to just three judges (two of whom are new), a new executive producer and music director as well as multiple format changes. For the first time, Idol will air on Wednesdays and Thursdays as opposed to the previous schedule of Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Nigel Lythgoe returns to the senior production team as executive producer for the series.[3] American singer Steven Tyler and American singer-actress Jennifer Lopez join the judging panel as replacements for Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi who all left at the end of season nine.[4] Ray Chew replaces Rickey Minor as the show's musical director and leader of the Idol's live band. Universal Music Group has replaced Sony Music Entertainment, as Idol's official partner record label.
As a result one of Universal Music's executives Jimmy Iovine, a songwriter and producer in his own right, was made in-house mentor to work with the contestants on a weekly basis. He will be supported by associated producers: Rodney Jerkins, Alex da Kid and Timbaland who will all help contestants tailor their song choices to their chosen genre of performance, as well as work in producing arrangements for the contestants and offering original material to be sung live. Other changes are set to include online voting and a Las Vegas round and judges' wild card contestants.
Changes in season 10
There were a number of major changes in season 10, from the judges to the format of the show. Nigel Lythgoe returned as the executive producer, and Ray Chew has been hired as the show's new musical director, replacing Rickey Minor, who left the show along with Dorian Holley to become the musical director of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[5]
[edit]Judges
Simon Cowell, a judge from the start of the show announced on January 11, 2010, that he would not be returning as a judge for this season in order to focus on launching the American version of hit British singing competition The X Factor.[6] Ellen DeGeneres officially announced her departure on July 29, 2010, and judged only for one season, because she felt the show was not the “"right fit" for her.[7] Kara DioGuardi then announced on September 3, 2010, that she would also not return this season due to her pursuing new projects.[8] On September 22, 2010, it was announced that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler will join the judging panel.[9]
[edit]New challenges
"Theme weeks will also get a makeover. We’re not going to ask a country singer to sing an R&B song, or an R&B singer to do Led Zeppelin, ... If the theme is ’80s or Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, every song will be customized to that contestant... What's most important, is that the song suit the finalist's voice."
— Ron Fair[10]
Then beginning in November 2010, returning producer, Nigel Lythgoe, revealed that there would be other significant format changes. New challenges include "contests [having] to make the best music video, to promote themselves, and to work with a band and dancers for an awards show-style performance."[11]
Entertainment Weekly reported that the challenges would replace the traditional semi-finals portion of the competition meaning that finalists would go on top compete in the top-twelve for the live shows.[12] However it was later revealed that the music videos challenge was only ever an idea but there were no plans to make it part of season ten of Idol.[13]
Entertainment Weekly reported further changes on January 4, 2011. The Hollywood round will return to narrow the contestants down to sixty potential finalists. Those who made the final sixty were then taken to Las Vegas where they were asked to sing songs from The Beatles.
Forty contestants left the competition at the end of this round, before producers placed the remaining twenty contestants, in two groups of ten, before the American public, for a semi-final sudden death round to find ten finalists - five girls and five boys - for the live shows in the finals. Additionally, the judges have been given wild card picks.[14][15]
Partnership with Universal Music
Following Cowell's departure at the end of season nine, Sony Music Entertainment's affiliation to Idol also ended. The partnership was superseded by a new deal with Universal Music Group, meaning that the winner will now be signed to Interscope Records. Interscope's sister labels, A&M Records and Geffen Records, will also be involved in promoting and distributing the albums of the show's finalists.[16][17]
Chairmen of the Interscope-Geffen-A&M label group, Jimmy Iovine, will work directly with contestants having been given a role on the show as the in-house mentor.[17]
Additionally, Billboard revealed that a team of Universal Music-associated producers and songwriters, such as Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Timbaland and Alex da Kid, will work alongside the contestants. It was reported that the new creative team would allow contestants to take on original material and arrangements, not just cover versions, when singing live.[18]
The Hollywood Reporter also indicated that other changes for season ten will include online voting and finalists releasing music as the season progresses, rather than waiting for the summer to record an album.[10]
Despite previous reports that Idol producers had axed the weekly music theme,[19] in-house mentor Fair, confirmed that the themes would remain.[10]
[edit]Regional auditions
This is the first season in which the contestant age limit was reduced to 15-years-old. The maximum age a participant may be remains 28.[20]
