"American Idol" is now on its final season and what better way to end the singing competition by harking back to the past that made it the big hallmark show it is today with a trailer that will sure pluck the heartstrings of long-time fans of the show.
The 47-second clip, which puts together the biggest highlights of the show, showed the words "You'll never forget the first." It started with Kelly Clarkson as an aspiring singer, who went on to become the first ever winner of the long-running contest.
The trailer gives fans the chance to remember the show's firsts with Clarkson's moments from introducing herself to the show's original judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, declaring her will to become the next American Idol and eventually keeping her word.
Her phenomenal rendition of "A Moment Like This," which she sang when she was declared champion, served as the backdrop of the special and memorable scenes of other victors of the competition. In the clip, the moving winning moments of past "American Idol" winners were all played back.
Fans see glimpses of Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, Kris Allen, David Cook, Jordin Sparks, Lee DeWyze, Ruben Studdard and Phillip Phillips who are all big stars today. Carrie Underwood can also be seen reliving how the show changed her life.
In the "American Idol" farewell season, the public is urged to "discover an idol one last time." Judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. will do the honor of guiding viewers through the journey until they finally reach the show's final stop and crown the last champion on the show.
Many things have changed as what the trailer showed but Ryan Seacrest being the show's host definitely hasn't as well as the support of the throng of fans that always scream their heart out for their bets.
"American Idol" farewell season will begin to end by January next year.
