American Idol Returns

American Idol is coming back for another season soon, and the judges this year are holding out hope that they’ll find the female winner the show hasn’t managed to produce in the last several seasons.  One reason for this, explains a ratings expert, is that the majority of voters for American Idol performers consists of women — and women are typically biased to vote for men for a lot of reasons:  cuteness is one of them, but attractiveness is another.  Be that as it may, judges Steven Tyler, J-Lo, and Randy Jackson are keeping their eyes peeled for the best female talent they can find, knowing that this year could be the magical one that breaks the recent cycle.

So far, it sounds like Steven Tyler is still a softie at heart.  In a recent quote, he expressed the sadness that can sometimes come along with the moments of joy when judging a show as popular as Idol:  “It still breaks my heart to tell someone they can’t sing, because everybody’s got a voice.  It’s not easy. I have my days and moments.”

It looks like we can really expect a great year for the show’s 11th season.  Here is the official promo vid released by American Idol late last week:
