“I wasn’t competing for my life,” says Grammy-nominated singer Ruben Studdard when comparing his recent appearance on “The Masked Singer” to winning “American Idol” in 2003. “The stakes were much higher for me on ‘American Idol’ than they will ever be on ‘The Masked Singer.’ I wanted to win, but it’s just completely different.” Studdard competed on the Fox reality TV competition with his pal Clay Aiken as Beets, who adds, “‘The Masked Singer’ pays so much better.” Watch their exclusive video interview with Gold Derby senior editor Denton Davidson above.
The duo lost the Group B finals to Gumball, and were sent home after belting out “One Moment in Time” by Whitney Houston. “I am not competitive at all,” Clay admits when asked if he was upset. “I have gotten so good at losing shows that if I had won I would probably be more upset because it would ruin my reputation.

A broadcast TV season that began with cobbled-together schedules during dual labor strikes is ending the way every season in the recent past has — with CBS as the most watched network.
With a few weeks left in the September-to-May season, CBS will end up as No. 1 in primetime for the 16th straight season. The network is averaging 5.59 million viewers each night, according to Nielsen’s seven-day figures (through April 21). That’s about 580,000 more than second-place NBC (5.01 million); ABC sits in third with 4.29 million viewers, and Fox averages 3.35 million. The CW is back of the pack among English-language broadcasters with 462,000 primetime viewers.
Those numbers may change a little in the remainder of the season, but the order of finish won’t. CBS is off by 6 percent in viewers versus the 2022-23 season, while NBC lost 5 percent year to year. ABC ticked up by about 4 percent — with a big assist from a...

The post-event TV lead-out is a delicate thing. Whenever major television telecasts – like, say, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, or the premiere or finale of a super-high-rated reality show – end, something has to come on afterward, and most shows chosen for the coveted slot take the responsibility very seriously. Lead-out programming usually catches hundreds of thousands if not millions of extra eyes since watch parties all over the country get caught up chatting or celebrating and fail to change the channel. Or, better yet, they get hooked on the first few minutes of whatever show's in front of them.

Katy Perry is leaving American Idol after this season. The hit reality singing competition series has had the same three judges since it returned to ABC, and this is the first change since its reboot. Ryan Seacrest, the host since the start on Fox, has recently talked about Katy leaving the series.
Here is what Ryan had to say and when he thinks American Idol will announce her replacement.
Ryan Seacrest On Katy Perry Leaving American Idol
Katy Perry shocked her fans and co-stars when she announced she was leaving American Idol at the end of this season. Luke Bryan said their contracts are year-to-year, so any judge can exit after any season since nothing locks them down for multiple seasons on the show. For Katy, it is time to depart the series.
This is because Katy Perry wants to release new music and tour the world performing concerts, with her daughter in tow.

The Voice fans agree that the long-running singing competition hasn’t quite been the same since Blake Shelton hung it up and decided to retire as a judge. According to a source close to Blake, he would consider coming out of retirement under two strict conditions. So, what are they?

Blake Shelton was part of the original lineup of The Voice judges when the show first premiered. It was NBC’s answer to American Idol, and they brought the star power to the judging panel. This is a trend that has continued in all of the seasons since.

Since The Last Update
With the May 31 Emmys eligibility cutoff almost exactly one month away, Emmys-related action is picking up.
On April 22, Ryan Seacrest, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan came out for a screening and reception in Hollywood on behalf of ABC’s American Idol. Meanwhile, in New York, Peter Morgan, creator and principal writer of Netflix’s The Crown, was feted at the opening of his new Broadway play Patriots. And that same night, FX’s Shōgun had a well-received series — or season? — finale. (The following evening its lead actress, Anna Sawai, sat down with yours truly at Chapman University to record an episode of THR’s Awards Chatter podcast.)

Emmy Russell is honoring her “memaw” Loretta Lynn with her latest performance. During Monday’s episode of American Idol, the young musician performed a piano-backed cover of Loretta Lynn’s “Coal Miner’s Daughter” that moved much of the crowd (including Katy Perry) to tears.
Russell — who’s competing on the newest season of American Idol — took the stage behind the piano to slow down and transform Lynn’s classic to match her own musical style. With Monday’s episode, Russell heads to the Top 7 of the singing competition show.

After revealing behind the scenes details about how he helped bring an all-star group of musicians together to make the Grammy-winning smash hit charity single “We Are the World” in the Netflix documentary “The Greatest Night in Pop,” Lionel Richie recently spoke to IndieWire about which of the participants he knows have watched the movie, and are still reeling from the down-to-the-wire recording session.
“Huey Lewis sat next to me while I’m watching the premiere, and he leaned over to me, and he said, ‘I don’t think we’re going to make it,’” the “American Idol” judge said at an event celebrating the reveal of the current season’s Top 10 finalists. “I said, ‘Huey, it’s 39 years ago. It’s been a success.’ But how we set it up, he was a nervous wreck.”

After “American Idol” judge Katy Perry won the “Judges’ Song Contest” episode of Season 22 over Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, she had to decide whether to save either Kaibrienne “Kb” Richins or McKenna Faith Breinholt — both of whom placed in the bottom of the Top 8. (Read our minute-by-minute recap.) Ultimately, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer chose to keep McKenna in the ABC competition. That resulted in “Kb” being the latest person eliminated from “American Idol” — womp, womp.
Throughout the competition, Kaibrienne belted out tunes like “Something in the Orange” (Auditions round), “Simple Man” (Showstopper round), “Heaven” (Top 24 round), “girl i am now”, “Zombie”, “I Hate Myself for Loving You” (Top 14 round), “Wrecking Ball” (Top 12 round), “Here Without You” (Top 10 round) and “traitor” (Top 8 round).
