The first season of American Idol (originally entitled American Idol: The Search for a Superstar) premiered on June 11, 2002, over four months after Pop Idol's first series ended, with Will Young winning the series, and continued until September 4, 2002. The first season was co-hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Brian Dunkleman, the latter of whom left the show after the season ended. Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and Randy Jackson served as judges. Kelly Clarkson won the competition, defeating Justin Guarini, who finished in second place.
Kelly Clarkson signed with RCA Records, the label in partnership with American Idol's 19 Recordings. Immediately after the finale, Clarkson released two singles, including her coronation song, "A Moment Like This," which went on to break a thirty-eight-year-old record held by The Beatles for a song's biggest leap to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It jumped up from number fifty-two to number one in just one week. Clarkson has enjoyed a successful recording and talk show hosting career since winning, with multiple platinum albums, numerous top ten hit singles, three Grammy Awards, and five Emmy Awards. Runner-up Justin Guarini also signed with RCA Records, eventually debuting an album in 2003 after the conclusion of the second season. In addition to Clarkson and Guarini, Nikki McKibbin, Tamyra Gray, R. J. Helton, and Christina Christian also signed recording contracts.
After the finale, a special show in Las Vegas was also shown on September 23, 2002, where all 30 of the contestants who made the judges' initial cut performed in a two-hour concert.
Regional auditions
Auditions were held in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, and Seattle in the spring of 2002,[1] and around 10,000 attended the auditions. Auditions were shown in the episode which aired originally on June 11, 2002.
| City | Date(s) | Venue(s) | Golden tickets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles, California | April 20–22, 2002 | Westin Bonaventure Hotel | 31 |
| Seattle, Washington | April 23–25, 2002 | Hyatt Regency Hotel | 10 |
| Chicago, Illinois | April 26–28, 2002 | Congress Plaza Hotel[2] | 23 |
| New York City, New York | April 29 – May 1, 2002 | Millenium Hilton Hotel[3] | 25 |
| Atlanta, Georgia | May 3–5, 2002 | AmericasMart[4] & Callanwolde Fine Arts Center |
15 |
| Dallas, Texas | May 5–7, 2002 | Wyndham Anatole Hotel[5] | 11 |
| Miami, Florida | May 11, 2002 | Fontainebleau Hilton[6] | 6 |
| Total number of tickets to Hollywood | 121 | ||
Kelly Clarkson was notable for being largely absent in the audition episode, and she remains the only winner whose audition was not aired in the original broadcast. The other top ten finalists whose auditions were not shown were Nikki McKibbin and EJ Day.
Structure of auditions
There were usually three stages in the audition process every season. The first stage was the advertised open call audition, where those auditioning each sing briefly in groups of five in front of selectors, though some may be asked to sing further. Most of those who attended are eliminated at this stage with only a limited number of auditions selected to proceed further. In the second round, they sing in front the executive producers and more are eliminated. In the last round, those who survived the first two stages are invited to sing in front of the judges, and this is the audition shown on television. Those who receive at least two "yes" votes from the three judges then receive a golden ticket to Hollywood.
In the first season, the second and third stage of the audition may take place within a single day, but in the following seasons each stage of the audition may take place on separate days. The initial audition venue may not necessarily be the final audition venue in front of the judges, and in later seasons, up to three separate venues may be used for the auditions in each city. In the early seasons, the entire audition process in each city took place within a relatively short span of time, but became progressively extended in later seasons such that the callback date may be many weeks after the initial auditions.
Hollywood week
The Hollywood week rounds were held in the Pasadena Civic Center, where 121 contestants competed for a place in the finals. The contestants first came onto the stage in groups of nine or ten, but performed solo unaccompanied, and those who did not impress the judges were cut after the group finished their individual performances. The 65 singers who were selected to proceed on to the next round were then separated by gender and given a crash course to learn their next song overnight, which they were expected to perform the next day in small groups. The ladies' song was Dionne Warwick's "I Say a Little Prayer" and the men's song was Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life". Again, those who failed to impress were cut immediately after their performance.
In the final round, the remaining 45 were given new songs to learn and each performed solo and a cappella. The top 15 were first announced, and then the judges selected 15 more out of the remaining 30.
Delano Cagnolatti was initially amongst those announced as the Top 30, but he was later disqualified for falsifying his age,[7] and became the first person to be disqualified on American Idol. He was replaced by EJay Day.
Semifinals
These 30 contestants reached the semifinals stage of the season. Before their performances, contestants took part in intensive music workshops, where they were given vocal coaching by Debra Byrd and advice by stylists. The contestants each emerged to perform solo with piano accompaniment. There was no studio audience at this stage and the performances were pre-taped. The audiences voted after each round of performances, and the results of the votes were announced the next day. A total of 3.3 million votes were cast in the first week of voting.[8] From each group, three contestants advanced to the next round based on votes by the viewers.

Controversies
It was revealed during the season that around 100 phone-phreak hackers with power-dialing hardware and software were able to place as many as 10,000 votes a night from a single phone line with the touch of a button.[12] However, FremantleMedia, which produces the show, contended that the hackers had a 'statistically insignificant' effect on the vote. Simon Cowell also insisted that Tamyra Gray's unexpected ouster from the show only strengthened the producers' contention that the voting was fair.[13] Nevertheless, concerns were raised about possible unfairness in the situation of a tight vote.[14] Ken Warwick later said in the fifth season that equipment was put in place afterwards to address this issue, but it allegedly has never detected such a problem since.[15]
Controversy erupted when Kelly Clarkson was invited to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in a deal arranged by 19 Entertainment at a special commemoration for the first anniversary of September 11 attacks at Washington's Lincoln Memorial. Some critics suggested that Clarkson's appearance would turn a somber occasion of national mourning into a "giant promotional opportunity".[16] Kelly Clarkson herself considered withdrawing from the commemoration, saying "I think it is a bad idea ... If anybody thinks I'm trying to market anything, well, that's awful." and added "I am not going to do it."[17] She was however unable to withdraw from the event.
US Nielsen ratings
Season one of American Idol was a surprise summer hit show of 2002 and had an average viewership of 12.7 million per episode.[18] It was the summer's highest-rated show in the 18/49 demographic.[19]
