The First Blog

My very first blog is to introduce what the American Idol is. First of all, American Idol is known as one of the biggest viewed TV show in the United States of America. It has been broad casted for 8 years. This show is a competition to find a new singer which is called the idol. One interesting point about this show is that anyone can try out for the American Idol. Even if you are not good at singing, you might be on the TV if you are funny. Whether you can be the next American idol or not is depending on the judges. The judges are Simon, Randy, Paula and this year includes Kara, but they are not the only ones who judge. The other judges are the American viewers. The first try out holds in all over the places in America such as LA, NY, Chicago. The second try out holds in Hollywood, then only 24 of them can make it through to the third try out(This year 36 of them). After the second try out, the judges are American viewers. You can give a phone call to vote for a contestant who you love or hope to be the next American idol. The contestants who can make it through for the final round are only 12. At final round, each week one contestant who has least votes goes home. The winner of the American Idol receives a million dollar, and release a CD. This is how this popular show American Idol goes on each season.

Season 1 was on the year of 2002. The first winner of the American Idol is Kelly Clarkson. She was only 20 years old when she tried out for American Idol. She absolutely blow the judges away. I think she is one of the best singer I have ever seen on the entire seasons of American Idol. Her voice is very strong, but it also shows sensitive sides depending on what kind of songs she sings. I believe her best performance from Season 1 is when she sang a song called 'You are all I need to get back'. After she became the first American Idol,she has been popular in all over the world. Her famous songs are 'Walk Away', 'Since you've been gone', 'Because of You'. There are so many songs that are very popular. According to Sony Music, she has sold over 20 million albums world wide. She has won two Grammy awards too. Her newest album called " All I Ever Wanted" is now on sale. Her latest single " My Life Would Suck Without You" is now becoming popular around the world. you can listen to that song even in some stores in Japan or on the TV show too. The first American Idol, Kelly Clarkson is one of the best singer ever and she has one of the strongest voice in the world. 'http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1500034/20050412/story.jhtml'
