American Idol fans now know where the next season will startâŠFebraury 27th 2022
ABC TV has announced American Idol will return for a fifth season Feb. 27. Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie return as judges, and Ryan Seacrest is back for the 5th Season on ABC, and 20th season overall.
Luke is now a seasoned pro on Idol when it comes to judging talent, but he admits that heâs learned and changed up some things since he first began on the show, âI think how Iâve changed as a judge is when I really, really like something, I know it, and when I donât, itâs like letâs get back to the talent. Sometimes we get some wild and crazy artists in there, and if itâs practical, I like to try to be the champion. If itâs a little out there for me, Iâm more vocal about that. But the beauty of me and Lionel and Katy is we really kinda can feed off of each other. We know what each otherâs thinking, and itâs a true friendship and a true partnership with all of us. I mean, weâre really focused to find the best talent we can find, because it certainly validates our show and it gives us purpose and reason for being thereâŠweâre working 12 hour days, multiple days in a row, and we want our work to really come to light by finding the right winner and even getting the Top 10 perfect.â
