'''American Idol''' is a reality [[television]] show produced in the [[United States]] in which a group of [[singer]]s compete for the title of ''American Idol'' and a recording contract. The singers are chosen by auditions in several cities throughout the United States. After over a hundred thousand hopeful singers audition in several locations, a group is chosen by the panel of judges to continue in the competition. Those singers will appear on the television show. The show runs for several weeks, and each week viewers are given the opportunity to phone in their vote for their favorite singer during a (typically) 2 hour period following the conclusion of the show. The results are announced the following night, and each week, the singer with the least number of votes leaves the show. The group of singers decreases each week, and finally, the one singer who remains wins the title of American Idol.
