Template:Infobox reality music competition The ninth season of American Idol premiered on January 12, 2010, on Fox.[1] Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi have all returned as judges, and Ellen DeGeneres has permanently replaced Paula Abdul as the fourth judge.[2] Idol Gives Back will also return this season and will be held on April 21, 2010, during the top 7 results show.[3] The top 24 semi-finals format used in the fourth through seventh seasons will also return this season.[4] This will be Simon Cowell's last season judging on American Idol.[5]
Judges
After the season began, Paula Abdul did not return as the fourth judge on the panel, having announced in the beginning of August 2009 that she was leaving the show due to unresolved contract negotiations.[6] Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Shania Twain, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Joe Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris and Kristin Chenoweth were brought in to star as guest judges during the auditions phase.[7][8][9][10]
After making the decision to utilize guest judges in Abdul's absence, Fox chairman Peter Rice stated that they would find a permanent fourth judge before the season premiere in January,[11] leading the confirmation on September 9, 2009 by Ellen DeGeneres that she would be joining the show as the new permanent fourth judge for the rounds held at CBS Television City for Hollywood Week and thereafter, onto the live shows.[12]
In addition, Simon Cowell announced in January 2010, shortly before the ninth season premiere, that he would be leaving American Idol after the season in preparation for the production of an American version of his talent show The X-Factor.[13]

"Pants on the Ground"
During the Atlanta auditions, 62-year-old activist Larry Platt appeared and performed his original song, "Pants on the Ground." The song is in reference to people wearing the hip-hop style of clothing including pants that sag. Platt was ineligible to continue, due to being well over the show's age limit of 28 years old. His performance has since become a viral hit, and several celebrities performed the song in the days that followed the original airing of his audition in Atlanta.
Hollywood week
Held at the Kodak Theatre for the second straight year, the first day of Hollywood Week featured the 181 contestants (although there were 172 contestants that actually took the stage according to American Idol website[21]) from the auditions round singing solo with the option of playing an instrument.[22] Ninety-six contestants advanced. The next round required the contestants to split up into groups and perform. Seventy-one advanced to the final round of Hollywood requiring a solo performance. Forty-six made it to the final round where the judges take contestants one by one and tell them if they made the final twenty-four.
Ellen DeGeneres made her first appearance as a judge (replacing Paula Abdul) at this time.
Semi-finalists
The first seven were revealed on February 16, 2010 (during the second hour on the episode), and the rest were revealed on the following night's episode.
During the live shows after sitting in pride of place next to Simon Cowell, despite being the new judge Ellen DeGenres has been shunted to the end of the panel, the first time ever on the live shows a female has sat on the end and a male has sat in the middle.
