changes in the air
So according to a leaked Fox memo, American Idol has made some changes.
1- the month-long period where “Idol” usually features the best and most bizarre auditions from around the country have been shortened to just three weeks
2- the Hollywood round (formally one to two episodes) will now be two weeks
3- Instead of having 24 contestants when the show goes live, there will be 36
4- the wild card round will return
5- there would be more 2-hour episodes (maybe that means more time for appearances by this past season’s Idol’s to return)
6- “Idol Gives Back,” will not happen in 2009
