Synopsis:The smash hit of last summer is coming back and it will be better than ever! After six cities and tens of thousands of hopeful IDOLS, everything is just getting started. More than 10,000 hopefuls signed up to take part in a nerve-racking TV talent contest, but only the top 100 will make it to the first round. 100 contestants will be narrowed to 50, and then 50 will be narrowed to 12. Once, the field has been narrowed to 12, viewers will get to vote off a contestant each week. Each contestant faces the judges, SIMON COWELL, PAULA ABDUL and RANDY JACKSON, for a no-holds barred critique of their pop star potential. The show will be hosted solo by RYAN SEACREST. Viewers will see the performers every Tuesday night and at the end of the show will phone in a vote on who they think should go on to the next round. Winners are revealed the following night. By the end the season, the field will be narrowed to two - with viewers picking the final winner. American Idol 2 will air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with Tuesday featuring live performances and Wednesday the results show.
