Star Factory
Frankly, I'm not a big fan of all these "factories" for the production of stars. Especially domestic. But this year, I accidentally watched one of the issues a "factory", but not ours, and the US and was pleasantly surprised. As a result, my acquaintance with the American "Star Factory" over the fact that I'm stuck on Youtube in search of previous seasons, as well as the all-powerful Google to search for information about the winners. That you want to share. Namely - the winners of the TV show America's supermegapopulyarnogo «American Idol»!
For those who like me, I had not seen the show and do not understand what I write a couple of words about the overall project.
«American Idol» - a popular American TV show, which was created on the basis of a similar British show «Pop Idol». The first season was released in 2002. The permanent host of the show is Ryan Seacrest.
As for the judges, three of them in the show. From the very first season, they were:
Randy Jackson
Paula Abdul
Simon Cowell
In 2009 (Season 8) introduced a fourth judge Kara Dioguardi.
In the 9th season (2010) Paula Abdul left the show for the first time as a 4th judge was invited by Ellen DeGeneres, which it replaced.
This year, in the 10th season in a row, from the former judicial composition was only Randy Jackson, and replace all other judges came: a famous singer Jennifer Lopez and singer Steven Tyler, leader of the group «Aerosmith».
Frankly, thank God that the judicial structure has changed, and the narcissist Mr. Simon Cowell left the project. Last season without him and with the new star judges, I think the best in the history of the show.
As for the winners of all seasons, here the history of each, before and after the project, no less interesting and exciting than the show itself. The life of these people is divided into BEFORE and AFTER the project.
