A promo for the two-hour premiere of American Idol is on the air, and by the look of it, the show promises to be as exciting, awkward, and embarrassing as ever.
30 seconds of watching new eager singers belting there songs unaccompanied, and seeing the smiling, or smirking, faces of the judges, is enough to hook fans again.
Among the judges are Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Karak DioGuardi, with Ryan Seacrest hosting.
The new season airs on Tues, Jan 13., at 8:00 p.m.
