TV – American Idol  

The hit reality singing competition returns in March, after famously getting rebooted last year. Its roster of past contestants have gone on to become household names (Kelly! Carrie!

One notable change is the addition of Bobby Bones as the show’s official in-house mentor. Last year, he only mentored the top 24, but in the coming season, he’ll be a mainstay throughout the whole run.
