Luke Bryan talks American Idol…
Lindsay Ell goes live…

Negotiations are underway with the judges of American Idol for their return to the show next season. Last season, they named a winner with contestants and judges interacting from their homes. 
For next season, Luke Bryan says the show is working on incorporating elements of the live show while keeping the judges and the contestants safe- and 6 feet apart. 

Lindsay Ell started the release of her new album, Heart Theory, with a world-wide 24 hour live-stream event. It started at 12 a.m. Friday (this) morning. 
Her first stop was in Tonga and then the stream will move through all the time zones until it wraps in Hawaii.
