“I Kissed a Girl” pop star Katy Perry, country superstar Luke Bryan and music legend Lionel Richie form a panel that doesn’t so much practice tough love as dole out “Chicken Soup for the Soul” critiques.
After watching that first episode, we can tell you that it’s a solid return, and definitely stronger than its last few seasons. A good part of that is the chemistry of the new judges--pop star Katy Perry, country singer Luke Bryan and Mr. “All Night Long” himself, Lionel Richie--with the contestants who walk into the room to audition and with each other.

The three judges are amiable, upbeat and gentle. They’re also incapable of criticism, either constructive or harsh. ... It’s a soft down pillow, a gentle bromide for turbulent times. Ageless, old-fashioned, congenial, reassuring.
This is a decidedly less mean American Idol. ... Though there isn’t a Cowell among them, the judges’ panel makes passable competition for the judges on NBC’s “The Voice.” ... Overall, the new version of the show holds together well enough.
Meet the new American Idol, same as the old American Idol.
Neither an endorsement nor an indictment, but this reboot so aggressively plays down the middle that it doesn’t seem to be seeking one either way.
The new version is really just the old version, but a little sappier, a little more Disney-fied, a little more Americana-obsessed, and it's all, well, fine. It's not particularly good or particularly bad. It's just familiar. And familiar may be enough, depending on what you're looking for. But it's not special.
The latest version of American Idol has retained the best elements of the original while jettisoning the least desirable ones. New judges who are less **** and snarky offer a fresher perspective on the competition. This is a tighter, faster paced workman-like American Idol that doesn't need the whiz bang spinning Jetson;s chairs of the gimmicky competition. This American Idol sets the benchmark in how a singing competition show should be done. Bravo..

SEASON 16
Magnificent ... The program is a great incentive for young people not to give up on their dreams. The judges are perfect, especially Katy Perry with her charisma and wonderful humor makes the show a lot of fun.
