Finally, Fox canceled the show entirely.
ABC picked up the singing competition in 2016, butnothing could fix how pointlessAmerican Idolhad become.

However, Season 23 brought in Season 4 winnerCarrie Underwoodas a judge, replacing wildcard judgeKaty Perry.
Although current judgesLionel RichieandLuke Bryanfound balance with Perry, they have been unable to do the same with Underwood.
Unfortunately, the currentAmerican Idoljudges leave much to be desired.
American Idolused to mean stardom, but now it is overdone and pointless.
It’s time forAmerican Idolto change, or quit while they are ahead.
American Idolis available on Hulu.
