it had been just a couple weeks ago that Candice Glover was crowned the winner of American Idol's Season 12, but could the announcement was made, the Idol powers that be were already looking forward to Season 13 to understand what may very well be carried out to salvage the ailing series.
Overshadowing the finale were the tongue-wagging reports that churned out in the weeks leading up to it about who's staying and who's happening the judges' panel. (Adjusted May 30, Randy Jackson is unquestionably out, with Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey probably also not returning.) At Fox's upfront presentation three days ahead of the last episode, network president Kevin Reilly teased major "twists" to the format of American Idol for Season 13, likely including a return towards the three-judge format.
Once a ratings powerhouse for Fox, Idol limped along this season, concluding using a May 16 finale that's 40 percent down in viewership (that's about 7 million people) from last season's. The one thing is definite: the network should either put Idol from its misery, or make major revisions whether or not this promises to ensure that is stays within the air and position it as a viable competitor to similar shows like NBC's The Voice.
