My family and I used to watch every episode back when the judges were Randy, Paula, and Simon. It was more entertaining than it is now. And it was hilarious when they would show the bad auditions and the 3 of them would be trying so hard not to laugh. Now they don't even show the bad auditions.
Heavily agree! I wish they showed all the auditions, even ones that were considered bad It represented more personalities from different backgrounds. Felt more life-like
@@kassiogomes8498did you even watch the show? Nobody bad enough to actually get laughed at had any future in singing, they wouldn’t laugh at a contestant unless it was comically bad. The people who were close but got a “no” were always treated seriously.
I remember watching the 2007 season with my girlfriend at the time. We lived far away from each other, but we would always watch the segments and deliberate about them during the commercial breaks on MSN messenger. Those were the days.

Man, this theme song for this series EACH season has always been a BOP. I can dance to these at raves. I always sang/hummed every "oh ooo wee oh oh eeeeeeehhhheeeeee"
Man this brings back so many memories. I remember watching this all the time as a kid, getting hyped up while my mom was watching in the living room. The nostalgia So proud to be a 2000's baby😩😩😩
i watched this back bc the music was so good and for all the nastalgia. i remember being a kid and being hyped when each new season came on and seeing the animation upgrades for the intro and in general.
I remember the opening credits most with seasons 4-7 the most cause me and my mom would watch this all the time when my dad was on deployment. This, Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Super Nany
Amazing piece of Trance music. All coming out of the golden era of Trance. This tune is so hypnotic and mystifying. Aother theme song from that era that is addictive and hypnotic is Element Four (Paul Oakenfold) - Big Brother Theme UK The Australian Big Brother Theme, more Elector based, is also awesome.
My childhood memories with idols. I started watching American Idol in 2004 where Fantasia became the winner. After that, I addicted to watching the show until season 13. I love the theme and intro music. I miss Hollywood week and the stage every season.
The fact that you can still see the words pop idol in the 2002 intro is sad but then fixed it up and make it look better in 2003 & 2004. They also covered up pop idol with american idol over it. Also 0:02 totaly the best editing skills.
Before The Walt Disney Company-owned company ABC acquired the rights to the show back in 2017 for season 16 of the returning revival series in which it on the network in 2018 up to present year 2023 and many many years to come!
Ah the more simpler times, watching American Idol with my bowl of Cookie Crisps on a Friday night of the year 2008. The judges, primed and ready, all hear the talented, the dull, the boring, and, oh my word, the hilarious(Got to love pants on the ground😂). As the people who are auditioning are singing, the judges are carefully noting strengths and weaknesses of the singers without a quick push of a button, some brutally honest and some easing the truth to the ears of the lucky and unlucky. The fortunate achieves the goal of getting the Golden Ticket to Hollywood to obtain their wildest of dreams while the others, either take it like a champ or the logo is over their mouths, pack their bags to go home. With the arrival of the Golden Ticket holders, they go on the stage amongst a live audience and sing their heart out in front of the judges to become the next American Idol!
I still remember watching season 1 live and being floored when Tamyra went home. Season 1 didn't have the huge ratings of 2-9 and it was clearly cheap but so many great memories. Literally every Kelly Clarkson performance, Nikki escaping the bottom 3 every week, Simon calling RJ a loser and Randy standing up ready to fight Simon for that, Christina not being there for the results because she was taken to the hospital and then going home anyway, Tiffany Montgomery changing her name to Ryan Starr for the live shows, people bringing up flowers for the contestants, it's TAMIKA, AJ's cuteness but not being able to sing very well, Jim's sad story about his deaf parents, Justin Guarini just being Justin Guarini, Kelly's winning moment singing A Moment Like This, Kelly and Justin doing From Justin to Kelly after the show. Pure gold
Season 1 had great ratings for a summer show, that’s why it got picked up for a regular run in the spring the next year. Can’t compare summer ratings to in-season ratings
У нас в России тоже было своё телешоу Народный артист, который являлся аналогом шоу American idol,шло у нас с 2003-2006 годы на канале Россия 1. Телешоу моего детства, помню как я в субботу вечером быстро бежал к телеку чтобы смотреть это шоу.В этом шоу мне нравилось всё и шутки Ивана Урганта и напутственные слова участникам от Фёклы Толстой и сами выступления участников.
I watched American Idol from 2005 to 2011/2012 with my family. I was probably too young for the first two seasons since they were on a school night. The later years were just ‘meh, whatever’.
I was 10 years old when the first season aired, and I remember seeing few episodes here and there and watching the finales, but I didn't get super into the show and watch every single episode until season 3. Then I watched it up until season 9 when I was a senior in high school. But I definitely started losing interest after Paula and Simon both left. And it definitely wasn't the same once all three original judges were gone. I sure do miss the old days of American Idol!
I was in the 5th grade when Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard won. In 6th grade, I watched the season 3 finale with my family in the living room. In 8th grade, I was teased by a bus driver for Katharine McPhee losing to Taylor Hicks in 2006. I rooted for Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis, David Archuleta, Adam Lambert and James Durbin who is a neurodivergent like myself. In summer 2012, I took a picture with Thia Megia, one of the contestants who got voted off the show the year before, at a theme park.
I never liked American Idol, but it was one of the best shows on Fox til they made the stupidest mistake of letting it end. Hope their new owners are more kind and at least more willing to give new shows a try before they cancel them.
Anyone remember being so hyped when this came on? Damn those were the days
Frrrrr bro I was so hype I be wanting them to redo
I’m a OG has to come back to this for the one time
@typically someone it's because the tv channels all around the world are cutting down the intros and outros to show more advertisements
@typically someone more ads=more revenue=more power. Rich wants to get richer
Com?
This always brings me back to when I was a little kid, always staying up to watch American Idol. The theme is that iconic.
I remember watching it with my mom when I was like 7 or something.
Com?
@@rositapurmy family, of course! I always loved that theme, and will until the end of time.
I love how they kept the same intro song for the whole series
And after adding new theme song effects In 2011-2016 they switched back to the original theme from 2002-2024
@@mkllg-fe5uu The original theme is from 2000 from the UK

I don't know why I'm watching this...
LOL

Don't know why I am so addicted to this intro.
Same here 🙋
@@joyhayden2312 I do't know why I'm addicted to it either
Yeah I am to.......
Because The Voice tells you to listen to it.

Old memories my family watch this in Indonesia
Nostalgia just slapped me HARD!!!!
YESSSS
The 2000s are so great

cellini051 that sucks. That’s what makes this show

In the age of social media that's impossible. The person could go viral and end their chances of being somebody one day.

This song reminds me of my Guinness world record of running to the kitchen, getting a quick snack before Ryan was on my TV...
Man, this theme song for this series EACH season has always been a BOP. I can dance to these at raves. I always sang/hummed every "oh ooo wee oh oh eeeeeeehhhheeeeee"
The theme sounds like an air raid siren remix with an electric guitar and futuristic special effects
Air sirens always did it for me in dance music. Its something about the harmonics in sirens that make them hypnotic and Trancey.
Man this brings back so many memories. I remember watching this all the time as a kid, getting hyped up while my mom was watching in the living room. The nostalgia So proud to be a 2000's baby😩😩😩
I kinda remember this show as well from when I was 6 or 7 years old.
Parents used to watch it religiously when I was younger back around 2008
The 2005 intro.. man I'm feeling nostalgic
The weird singing figures still creep me out till this day.
how lol
VoteForJax DotOrg they just look really weird like weird humanoid aliens 😨
MineBrine2343 I agree. I cried whenever I see them back in the day when my mother started watching American Idol. I’m talking about the 2002 ones
Cyan Sims yup, definitely. 😨
I remember hearing the theme and instinctively turning my head away.
The 2000’s babies can relate 💯
I was born in February 2000
🥺🥺🥺
Season 1 music is the Best 👊👊👊
Nah season 12 was
Oooo woah ooo woah oooo
Of course its season one as you have the backing vocals
I miss you American Idol🙏🏼🥰💫🥳😥😇💔💔💔💔💔💔
American idol is still on TV, so how can you miss it?
Damn this theme song makes me feel old I’m barely 21 now and I remember watching this with my parents when I was like 10
i watched this back bc the music was so good and for all the nastalgia. i remember being a kid and being hyped when each new season came on and seeing the animation upgrades for the intro and in general.
"Nastalgia"? Is that like nostalgia for the rapper Nas? Or is it nostalgia for something that's nasty?
Libur?
I was so happy for a new episode back in 2005

I used to watch this show with my parents. Even my uncle liked it, too. In 2019, I watched it with my aunt.
I LOVE IT!!!! greetings from Germany ❤❤❤
If hear this intro...my heart only say lets try again next year....

Chan B if u look closely at 0:13 you can see the stage says pop idol with the star
huh
This makes me so nostalgic for my preteen and teen years. ❤️
Who else watched this to remember your childhood?
Nostalgic.
Seasons 4-7 is the best intro

2002 I was 2 and jamming to this 😂 now almost 20 and I still jam to this shit
The OG intro Slaps
Feel the energy when the intro music played... Different from other singing reality show....
Seasons 10 through 13 are weirdly nostalgic for me. My mom's favorite show when I was a kid. At least until she switched to Forensic Files lol
This was one of my moms favorite shows
I love how the theme song gets worse over time...kinda mirrors the electronic music scene as a whole

I remember I used to watch this with my mom dad all time on fox

I'm bored...so I searched this
“Last train to transcentral” was the influence.

The first season was actually a summer show but it did so well they picked it up for a regular run the following spring
I was in the 5th grade when Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard won.
In 6th grade, I watched the season 3 finale with my family in the living room.

season 14 was the best and littest intro...
the fact it needs an intro video before every show is wild.
The 2015 intro was the best
I MISS 2009
Man! These took a lot time to animate this!
I watched arab idol when I was a kid since 2011
Come here for the aaaaahhhhh
that little ah-ahhhhh is forever branded into my mind
Man this screams early to mid 2000s so hard.
I love Season 4 opening, there were already the winners appeareance from previous seasons 😻😻😻
I love this theme song accept I stopped watching the show on the so called last episode in 2016
Is it just me or does the theme song sound bizarre? Like, it's iconic and famous, but if you really listen to it, it's just-
Very strange-sounding?
Season 1 is the original and the best intro
Anyone remember that weird time when Patchy the Pirate was on American Idol?
I just signed up for American Idol
I used to watch this with my sister

Super intro WOW 🥰❤️
Did you know that Cathy Dennis wrote this theme tune
So nostalgic 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
THIS IS MY FUCKING JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have vivid memories of being creeped out by that humanoid thing in the intro of the earliest seasons when I was a toddler, for some reason
Season 10 is my favorite one!!
Just found this by top ten saddest McDonald’s toys
I remember that video. All I have to say about that toy is "pathetic".
I used to have a toy of the theme song but my mom thrown it in the trash and I was crying
I always loved it when the song said “ ahhhhhhh “
Cathy Dennis wrote this! :)
Wow 🌟✨
THE OG SINGING COMPETITION!!
0:23 pepsiman?!?!?!?!?
I did not see the American Idol reboot on ABC.
Ry mckeand favourite reality tv show.
So Bad in 2020 that they had to do this at Home due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Hope later in Next Year can be Back Normal 😎👌
Wasn't the show cancelled in 2016, though?
@@lovelydolltime8006 No, ABC revived the Series since 2017 and Aired again at 2018
0:27 "uchuu kitaaaaaa" i did i know pose?
The early season’s vocals were done by singer Cathy Dennis.
I always thought that this sounded like The Amanda Show's theme song lol.
Crying out Shinedown kinda sounds like this song think they might have copied it
05-08 is top tier
So cool 😎
I don't know why but whenever I see American idol I just think of 8:19
It’s just so game showey
