American Idol 2022 LIVE – Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie back TONIGHT for new round of auditions

AMERICAN Idol is back again tonight with a fresh round of auditions.

Judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry, along with host Ryan Seacrest will continue the third week of auditions for the Season 20 competition.

Tonight’s episode comes after a platinum ticket was given in the second episode to 17-year-old Kenedi Anderson, who blew the judges away with a Lady Gaga cover.

The platinum ticket is a new addition this season, and it’s a game-changer for competitors.

The platinum tickets allow one talented recipient in each auditioning city to immediately advance to the second Hollywood round, meaning Kenedi Anderson will skip the first round of cuts.
