American Idol may go all-star! Woot!
But it could be a real possibility. Nigel Lythgoe, the show's executive producer...confirmed he has approached Fox about a plan that would combine an all-star edition with a songwriting competition.
In a conference call with reporters Thursday, Lythgoe said, "Yes, it's something I'm trying to make work this season," while adding that "my idea is [for viewers] to give me 10 songs and then I'll bring back 10 'Idol' finalists to sing them on a special." Lythgoe, however, also said, "I've pitched to Fox and they have yet to come back to me to say yes or no."
Possible reasons for Fox's delay? Lythgoe didn't elaborate, but a possible reason may simply be timing: "Idol" has still not formally announced the songwriting competition (the winning song would air in the finale) so how could Fox greenlight an "all-star" edition until those details are completed?
Meanwhile, Lythgoe again debunked rumors that he'd approached Courtney Love to be a judge.
