A series of changes are in store on season eight of American Idol.
While new judge Kara DioGuardi is most prominent among them, the show will also focus more on the early auditions of actual singers, as opposed to complete and utter trainwrecks.
The following promo backs up this welcome change.
Pay special attention to the third contestant featured below; she goes by the name of Lil Rounds and she's rumored to make it far this season...
