American Idol - Season 11

American Idol Season 10 is officially behind us and it is leaving a pretty impressive legacy. After a few years of lackluster sales from the winners, The Season 10 Miss American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, released his first full album that ended up topping the Billboard charts and selling over 1 million copies in just a few months.

Season 10 also became the year that the Country Music genre dominated with Scotty along with the 1st Runner Up, Lauren Alaina, being teen country darlings.

But tonight was the first night of Season 11 auditions and a whole new crop of young singers is gonna do their best to leave their mark and become superstars.

After watching the first two hours, American Idol still has what it takes to be my favorite show. Just seeing these impressive talents give their all for the judges and hear them say "YES, you're going to Hollywood!" is all it takes to get the tears of joy rolling down my face. Their friends and families are out there beaming with pride and giving them support and encouragement. It reminds us why this is still the top rated show on TV after 11 seasons.
