Simon Fuller, the creator of American Idol, just announced that they will be adding a songwriting competition to Idol this year. The show usually uses industry songwriters to write the finale song for the two finalists, but this year they will allow both amateur and professional writers to compete for the chance for their song to be sung by one of the finalists.
Simon Fuller said that they are doing this in an attempt to find songs that will be better matches for the contestants. I wonder how they are going to make this work- it sounds interesting! I'm really glad they are doing something about those songs, because the songs this year's American Idol finale were horrendous!!
