Template:Infobox reality music competition The twelfth season of American Idol premiered on January 16, 2013, as part of the mid-season of the 2012–13 network television season.[1] Three new judges, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, and Keith Urban, signed on to replace Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez who left after season eleven. This is the third season to have four judges after the eighth and ninth seasons.

Show changes

After a sharp drop in ratings during the eleventh season, Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly announced that the show would undergo "some creative tweaking" for this season.[2] On July 12, 2012, it was announced Steven Tyler would not be returning as a judge, after two seasons.[3] The next day, Jennifer Lopez announced she would also be departing as a judge.[4] On July 23, 2012, it was announced that Mariah Carey would be joining the show as a judge for the season.[5] In September 2012, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban signed on to the show rounding out the judges table, with Randy Jackson returning as well.[6][7] On December 31, 2012, it was announced that Ryan Seacrest has signed on to remain the host for at least two more seasons.[8]

Producer Nigel Lythgoe indicated on January 9, 2013 that during the Hollywood rounds, the girls and boys would perform on separate weeks. The separation of the sexes would continue in the Vegas round right up until the Top 10.[9] There would not be a Top 12 or wild cards, and he publicly stated he was contemplating the idea of ranking the singers by their vote totals as well as the possibility of breaking out voting data by geographic region.[10]

Regional auditions

In an attempt to refresh the show's audition process, new ways to audition were announced. First is the "American Idol Small Town Audition Bus Tour", a 10-town nationwide tour that will give hopefuls who couldn't make it to one of the large audition cities a chance to try out. The cities are Idaho Falls, Idaho; Billings, Montana; Casper, Wyoming; Rock Rapids, Iowa; Iowa City, Iowa; Bowling Green, Kentucky; Clarksdale, Mississippi; Joplin, Missouri; Dodge City, Kansas; and Grand Junction, Colorado. Idol is also starting the "Nominate an Idol" program, which will let friends and family of individuals they think could be the next American Idol nominate said person in secret by filling out an online form and existing video or URL of their nominee—they must be singing solo and a capella. The chosen auditions will then be surprised on location by a film crew and given an opportunity to advance to the next round. Finally, online auditions for season 12 were open from Wednesday, August 1, 2012 through Tuesday, August 14, 2012,[1][11] and October 12 to November 4, 2012.[12] Auditions took place in the following cities:[13][14]

January 31, 2013 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma July 20, 2012 Chesapeake Energy Arena November 9 & 10, 2012 Devon Boathouse[22] 45
Total number of tickets to Hollywood 286
  • ^Note a The number for San Antonio audition was not revealed and this is the number of contestants from that city profiled in American Idol official website, and may not represent the true number.

Hollywood week

For the first time, the Hollywood rounds were held in the Valley Performance Arts Center in Northridge, California.[23] The contestants were separated by gender, with the male contestants performing in the first week, and the female the next. There were three rounds in each week - the a cappella, the group, and the solo rounds.[24] Unlike previous seasons, the groups in the group round were chosen by the producers, each group then select a song from a list of 20 songs to perform. For the solo round, the contestants were allowed to perform with an instrument or a live band. 28 male contestants were selected after the 3 rounds, but 8 would be eliminated to give 20 who would proceed to the Las Vegas rounds. This also allows the twenty women to join them, making it the top 40.

Las Vegas Rounds

The forty people who made it will now face the Las Vegas round and only 20 would move on.

Controversies

Mariah Carey-Nicki Minaj feud

A video was leaked to TMZ in October which showed Nicki Minaj erupting in a tirade against Mariah Carey during the audition in Charlotte, North Carolina.[25] It was also claimed that Minaj was heard saying off-camera, "If I had a gun, I would shoot that bitch."[26][27] Minaj however denied that she had made the threat.[28] Ryan Seacrest said that the dispute "went a little too far",[29] while Keith Urban jokingly said "I was the UN",[30] and the feud elicited a comment from President Barack Obama that Carey and Minaj will "sort it out".[31] In an interview with Barbara Walters on The View aired on January 7, 2013, Mariah Carey said that, due to Minaj's threats, it "felt like an unsafe work environment," and claimed that she had boosted her personal security.[32] Carey also said that she has since made up with Minaj. Carey's husband Nick Cannon claimed that the feud was used by American Idol producers to generate interest and ratings.[33] Producer Nigel Lythgoe however denied that he was responsible for leaking the video or that it was a publicity stunt, and said that he had no plans to use the footage in advance of or during the season.[34][35] Fox exec Mike Darnell described the buzz due to the feud as being great,[36] but later said that '"a rogue crew member probably took the video and sent it to TMZ. We did not encourage it."[37] The aired episode of the Charlotte audition did not show the tirade and what was shown appeared to have no real linear connection with the leaked footage.[38]

At the end of the show broadcast on Thursday February 14, 2013, the Final 40 were announced.
