AMERICAN IDOL’s Nigel Lythgoe Previews Season 10 Changes

AMERICAN IDOL returns Wednesday and yes, there will be changes to the show.

Simon, Kara and Ellen are gone. Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are taking their place. I’ve seen a few of the auditions from the premiere and there is no denying things are different in season ten.

One of the best shakeups? Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe — whom you may know better from SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE — is back after a two year break from the series.

I chatted with Lythgoe earlier today about some of the new things the show is doing this year and what he’s most excited about.

Take a look…
