American Idol is back for its historic 20th season. The beloved reality competition series has been around for two decades now, and has seen a number of players rise to stardom in its years on both Fox and ABC. This year, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie will return as judges with Ryan Seacrest as host. The only question that remains: who will be this year’s Idol?
Last night (Feb. 27), the singing showdown returned with a whole array of new competitors vying for a shot at the live shows. One of the most notable competitors was Aretha Franklin’s granddaughter Grace Franklin, who, unfortunately, didn’t make it past the auditions rounds. Perhaps we’ll see her again one day in future auditions for the show!
