From contestants who nearly botched their auditions, to folks who floored the judges, these tryouts from past "Idol" winners are some of the most memorable in the show's history.

America's favorite reality singing competition show has returned for Season 23. Here's how to watch the new season, with new judge Carrie Underwood.

Producer Megan Michaels Wolflick said it was "great" that two "American Idol" judges had performed at the last two presidential inaugurations.

Katy Perry, who was a judge on our show, sang at the last inauguration as well, so isn’t that great that two American Idol judges sang at the last two inaugurations. Megan Michaels Wolflick also pointed out that Carrie Underwood “handled very well” the technical difficulties her inauguration performance faced.

But this year will feel a little different with Katy Perry stepping down. Perry has served as a judge since the series was rebooted in Season 16. After Season 22, Perry turned her attention to releasing music and touring.
