Yeah it looks that way. The ch5 American idol website hasn't been updated fir ages or to say it coming soon.
Where can I each it now? 😞
It looks that way even the ch5 website for the show hasn't been updated for ages. You'd think it would say coming soon on the site by now. Where can I watch it now?
I enjoyed AI over our poor efforts. They never seemed to over produce the weeks songs, just letting the acts get on with it.
Channel 5 is still referring to it being broadcast "early next year".
Channel 5 is not a channel people generally watch having American Idol on that channel made the show have a cheap feeling.
Only if you have an Irish Sky subscription!
I watch Channel 5.

Hi @NatSasic yes Americal Idol will be back on @5star_tv. Date still to be confirmed, but we'll tweet when we know.
It's a shame it won't be up-to-date. T enjoyed just watching it a day after the USA airings.
What's their pitiful excuse for not showing it earlier I wonder.
They did last year !
It seems as though it started yesterday, with a second part today.
I am not sure what the timing was yesterday, but today it started at 5pm until 7pm (and of course 6pm to 8pm on +1).
I will be setting my PVR so I don't miss any more episodes.
I am not sure about the numbering of the episodes, but there was a two hour programme on Saturday and another one on Sunday.
When setting my PVR for next week I realised that while 5* is continuing 5*+1 is not, as it is being replaced by C5+24.
For me it is refreshing to see the auditions with just three judges - I am not a fan of auditions with a live audience like X-Factor has.
Harry is quite amusing although he seems to be moaning rather a bit too much about not being recognised or appreciated by the contestants! I didn't agree with a lot of his 'No' votes either, but fortunately the other judges didn't either!
In fact there were several contestants who I thought were in the top 10% of those I'd heard who only scraped by by the skin of their teeth. Which makes me a little bit concerned by the judges' judgement this year
That stuff about the penatonic scale seemed a bit odd too. I didn't really understand what he was getting at even after looking it up (and it's actually pentatonic - not penatonic!)
There is an AI forum on here btw.

I watched the first episode, but found it so boring I didn't bother with the 2nd. It was just auditions of people singing, without musical backing in most cases, not the most exciting of events! 5* +1 has now disappeared on Virgin Media TV (and probably other platforms) in any case.
