The appraised Fox show, which managed to score a record audience of 36.6 million during the finale, is set to give professional and amateur composers a chance to have a go at national (and international) fame and success.
The British producer Fuller, the man who was behind one of the most influential girlbands ever, the Spice Girls, decided to bring a new dimension to the concept of 'entertainment'.
Until now, a renown songwriter and composer was specially brought in to work on the finalists' individual songs. Most of them are now hits all over the US.
From the next season on, scheduled to begin airing in January, songwriters will compete against each other in order to win the privilege of having their tracks performed in front of millions.
'We want to define a new approach to entertainment. What really excites me is fulfilling my vision. I now have the resources to do everything I want to', Fuller said, insisting that the aim of the latest contest is that of encouraging talented artists and helping them to break 'through the star system'.
The auditions for the next season of 'American Idol' have begun today at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and six other cities, where they will continue until September.
