American Idol is one of the greatest singing competitions in the history of reality television.

Like every other season of the show, Season 20 features a fresh batch of aspiring singers. After a relentless auditioning process, a few contestants will be selected to enter the main competition. The winner will receive a record deal and a grand cash prize.

However, a couple of changes have been made to Season 20, including the introduction of the Platinum Ticket and the absence of Bobby Bones as the in-house mentor.
