Season: American Idol 2021 (Season 19)
Host: Ryan Seacrest
Judges: Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie
The nineteenth season of the reality show singing competition American Idol premiered on February 14, 2021 on the ABC television network. It is the fourth season to air on ABC since the series reboot; Ryan Seacrest returns as host. Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie return as judges and Bobby Bones as mentor.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the show offered its first ever live virtual auditions to aspiring contestants through its Idol Across America program using custom-built Zoom technology. The remote auditions took place from August 10 to October 28, 2020 in 50 states plus Washington, D.C. as well as a number of open call auditions, and from these the producers selected the contestants who can then audition in front of the judges.
“The Greatest Love of All” was originally recorded in 1977 by George Benson and the song peaked at number two on the US Hot Soul Singles chart. Eight years after Benson’s original recording, the song became even more popular for a version by Whitney Houston, whose 1985 cover (with the amended title “Greatest Love of All”) eventually topped the charts, peaking at number one in the United States, Australia, Canada and on the US R&B chart in early 1986.
