American Idol returns for its much-anticipated ninth season in January 2010. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, television's No. 1 hit series empowers contestants and viewers to share their voices in deciding who will be America's next singing superstar. This new season promises to deliver amazing, undiscovered talent with plenty of surprises along the way.
Every year, tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a shot at stardom. The show's judges - Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi - travel across the country in search of the next American Idol. They winnow down the competitors to a select group of semifinalists who sing their hearts out each week in front of a studio audience and television viewers. This season, joined by rotating guest judges including Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Shania Twain and Kristin Chenoweth, the American Idol judges visited Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and Orlando in their quest to find performers worthy of the "Golden Ticket" to Hollywood.
Emmy Award-winning talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will join American Idol as the new fourth judge sitting alongside Simon, Randy and Kara. As the new judge, Ellen will offer her own unique perspective to the contestants throughout the competition.
The judges have their say after every performance, but it's the viewing public that determines who will advance to the next round of competition and who will go home. Voting via telephone and text-messaging begins immediately after each performance show, and the results are announced during the following night's broadcast.
Eventually the competition is narrowed down to two finalists who compete for a major recording contract and the American Idol titleJeremy Rosado is the first Eliminated singer
"American Idol" has sent home one of the finalists from the Top 13. As announced by Ryan Seacrest on the Wednesday, March 7 performance show, the judges determined which one of the bottom guy and the bottom girl who would be eliminated in this first live results show of season 11.
Based on fans votes, Elise Testone, Shannon Magraine and Erika Van Pelt were the bottom three girls, while Jermaine Jones, Joshua Ledet and Jeremy Rosado were the bottom three guys. Mary J. Blige took the stage to perform "Why" before the bottom two contestants were revealed.
After Erika, Joshua, Jermaine and Shannon were declared safe, the judges had to choose between Jeremy and Elise. In the end, Jennifer Lopez gave the bad news that they decided to let go Jeremy as she said, "We're gonna save Elise."
In between the result announcements, last season's runner-up Lauren Alaina catered the audience with her rendition of "Georgia Peaches". She sat among the top 13 finalists, taking a spot between Colton Dixon and Phillip Phillips, the latter of which was rushed to hospital earlier on Thursday due to severe abdominal pai

His father additionally said that the 21-year-old had undergone 5 procedures to remove kidney stones, which have been a problem since last October.
