Template:Infobox reality music competition
The thirteenth season of American Idol, styled as American Idol XIII, premiered on the Fox television network on January 15, 2014.[1] The show is hosted by Ryan Seacrest. Keith Urban returned to the judging panel, with former judge Jennifer Lopez (seasons 10 & 11) and Harry Connick, Jr. serving as the replacements for the departed judges.
On May 21, 2014, Caleb Johnson was announced the winner of the thirteenth season of American Idol, making Jena Irene the runner-up.
Show changes
There were a number of other major changes in the season, from the judges to the format of the show itself including the opening intro, which now uses the "Gyroscope 2.0". On May 9, 2013, Randy Jackson announced that he would no longer serve as a judge.[2] On May 30, 2013, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj announced they would not return to the judging panel.[3][4] On August 1, 2013, it was confirmed that Keith Urban would return as a judge for another season.[5] Executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick were succeeded by Per Blankens, previously of Idol, the Swedish version of the Idols format.[6] On June 25, 2013, it was confirmed that producers Jesse Ignjatovic and Evan Prager would join Blankens as executive producers of the show.[7] Bill DeRonde replaced Warwick as a director of the audition episodes, and Louis J. Horvitz also replaced Gregg Gelfand as a director of the show, who had been directing since the sixth season.[8] Fox television executive Mike Darnell who helped launch American Idol in 2002 left as programming head of Fox, and Fox Sports executive David Hill was hired to oversee the series.[9] Rickey Minor returned to the show as musical director after having left at the end of the ninth season to go to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[10]
In August 2013, Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend Casper Smart stated Lopez would be returning as an American Idol judge.[11] On August 22, 2013, it was reported that Jimmy Iovine would not return as the in-house mentor for this season, but he is to be replaced by former judge Randy Jackson.[12] On August 30, 2013, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Harry Connick, Jr. signed a deal to join the panel as the third judge and that Simon Fuller held a party the night before with all three judges on hand to toast the forthcoming announcement.[13] On September 3, 2013, Lopez and Connick Jr. were officially announced as judges for this season along with the confirmation of Jackson being the new mentor. Lopez is the first American Idol judge to return after leaving at the end of season 11. It was also later reported that Idol alumni Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry would be assisting Jackson in mentoring the contestants.[14]
In a rules change from past years, semi-finalists from season 12 (but not previous seasons) who were not in the top 10 nor on the Season 12 Tour were eligible to return, provided they met all of the other requirements.[15] That rule will also apply to this season's semi-finalists and finalists who were not in this season's top 10 next season. This season the viewers may also vote for their favorite contestants via Google Search, bringing the total number of ways the viewers can vote to five, with the number of votes limited to 50 for each method of voting. Idol teamed up with Facebook to present "on-air visualizations" showing real-time East Coast voting developments, including live "demographic voting trends and relative contestant rankings".[16] Voting may also start as soon as the performance shows start this season, and real time vote rankings were shown while the show is still in progress, and each contestant were assigned the same telephone number all through the competition.

In addition, special audition bus tours were held in Little Rock, Arkansas; Oxford, Mississippi; Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.[25][26] Those chosen proceeded on to Salt Lake City to audition in front of the judges.
An auditioner this season was Tristen Langley, son of season one's third-placed finalist Nikki McKibbin, who made history as the first of the second-generation contestants on American Idol.[27] He was eliminated in the "Hollywood or Home" round.
Hollywood rounds
A special "Hollywood or Home" round was introduced this season whereby contestants were eliminated soon after they have landed in LAX airport before they even reached Hollywood. 52 contestants the judges were uncertain of performed solo in an airplane hangar, and 32 were sent back to the airport.[28] The 160 contestants left then proceeded on to Hollywood and performed solo in the Dolby Theatre in groups of ten. After this round, 104 contestants remained where they performed in groups of three or four. 77 contestants went through to a further solo round.
The Hollywood rounds ended with a Top 30 being announced on 12 and 13 February 2014. However a new twist was added and the judges chose only 15 girls and 14 boys, with the "15th boy" to be chosen by the voting public. The options were Ben Briley or Neco Starr. The result of the vote and the name of the public's choice to complete the Top 30 was announced on February 18. And it was Ben Briley who had made into the Top 30.[citation needed]

Controversies
Caleb Johnson comment
During his interview with AfterBuzz TV following the Top 5 elimination show, Caleb Johnson made offensive remarks about his fans who tweet him song suggestions.[64][65] "[Twitter] gives access to a bunch of retards to talk to me," Caleb said. "I don't really enjoy having to see somebody telling me what song I have to sing. I think at this point of the competition, I can pick and choose my own songs and represent me. I don't need 10,000 people saying, 'You should sing this, you should sing that. Listen to me!' Fortunately, guys, I'm going to listen to myself, whether you like it or not." [66][67]
His comment has been described as "arrogant", with some fans turning against him.[68][69] After his fans expressed outrage on Twitter, Caleb issued an apology on his Facebook page.[70] "For the record that juvenile comment I made in the interview was not directed towards my fans but to the wackos that send hundreds of hate messages a day to me! You guys are amazing and I cannot thank you enough for your support. Sorry if it offended anybody it was the wrong choice of words. Also I greatly appreciate it when you guys give me song suggestions but it gets really overwhelming at the volume it comes in so please understand ! Rock on !:)" [71]
Reception
Critical reception
Harry Connick Jr. was lauded for his performance as a judge. USA Today, Rolling Stone, and MTV all claimed that he "stole the spotlight" during the season premiere with his humor and knowledgeable feedback.[72][73][74] Kristin Dos Santos of E! Online suggested that Connick Jr. could save the struggling show. She called him better than Simon Cowell, writing that while he is "brutally honest", he also shows heart.[75] Robert Rorke of the New York Post wrote that Connick Jr. was unlikely to "save" American Idol, but also wrote that he made the show watchable again by bringing class and keeping the focus on the contestants.[76]
