so this year has managed to be a decent season of american idol and this next year i think the american idol 2016 auditions should continue as well, there is nothing to replace the series with on fox since they cancelled the x factor.
some people said the american idol would finish this year that it would be the last season of the show, which would be a disaster if planned to audition next year, but i just cannot see the show finishing at all anytime soon, if fox cancelled american idol they would really be out of concepts for classic shows with a following.
they would lose all that following that has taken over 10 years to build up, and then replace it with a brand new talent show that probably would fail in getting popular anyway, so at the moment or next few years i cannot see any reason fox would cancel the american idol singing contest.
so if you are planning on auditioning next season then keep up the practice http://myamericanidol2016auditionsjourney.blogspot.com/
because its pretty sure there will be a season next year of the american idol.
