Randy Jackson Talks 'American Idol' Season 9
Posted Fri Nov 6, 2009 11:06am PST by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

It seems like American Idol season 8 ended just the other day, and with last season's Idols staying squarely in the public consciousness due to their successful summer tour and slew of new fall albums (Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, and Allison Iraheta all excitingly release their debuts in the coming month), it's hard to comprehend that in just two months, a whole new season of Idol will kick off..

Idol judge Randy Jackson recently stopped by the Yahoo! offices, so naturally I tried to pump him for as much information as possible about season 9. Will there be a Wild Card round next season? A Judges' Save? What has it been like without Paula Abdul? How did the guest judges fare during the auditions? How will Ellen DeGeneres fit in with the judging panel? Will Hollywood Week be full of Tatiana Del Toro-style drama, drama, drama? Will a girl win this season? And what exactly are the judges looking for this go-'round?.

Well, Randy was tight-lipped about some of these issues, but he's obviously no shy and retiring type, so it didn't take too much to get the dawg barking, so to speak. Check out our chat below, and get ready for American Idol season 9...
