Idol 11: meant to be

It’s almost time for American Idol season 11! It’s back on screens on Wednesday, January 18 at 8/7c on Fox, and in the UK and other parts of the world shortly after that.

TV Guide talks about the high expectations for season 11 following a successful season 10 and has an interview with Ryan and the judges. Here are some of Ryan’s comments:

“Some crumble and then others rise to the occasion. It was physically intense for a lot of contestants.”

Causes of added stress:

“There’s a do or die about it. It mirrors what’s going on around the country, because some of these contestants have truly made up their minds that they’re going to go for their dreams. They are really passionate.”
