Nigel Lythgoe is the executive producer of the very popular reality show American Idol. Apparently, he is the most excellent godfather of the reality television of the 21st century. He gained his reputation for his brutal and blunt yet well-meaning forthrightness. Nigel is very much willing to help new talents with big star dream to realize their dreams. Lythgoe started his career performing on television along with England dance ensemble.
Before producing the American Idol he produces the show Pop Idol and at the same time serves as regular judge for the dance contest show So You Think You Can Dance. Nigel is also the man behind the Superstars of Dance that was aired in 2009. His love about the entertainment and television shows encourages him to produce the American Idol in 2002. However, Nigel left American Idol in 2008 and decided to focus in So You Think You Can Dance competition. Nevertheless, he again returned to be the executive producer of the American Idol season 10.
Recently, the American Idol was been in hot seat when one of its judges Steven Tyler shows outrageous behavior. That is why Nigel Lythgoe decided to focus the reality show more on warmth instead of meanness. He said that the show should employ honesty and warmth. Likewise, he appreciated that Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are providing the warmth yet they put some eccentricity on it.
As an executive producer, Nigel monitors and ensures that the rating of the American Idol should be maintained just like during the time of Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. However, he gave credit to the Season 10 judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. Nigel is also very thankful to Randy Jackson for not leaving the show despite and in spite of many things that happening in the reality show. In order to avoid drastic comment from the judges, Nigel ensures that he will put his time monitoring the judges. In this way, it will be ensured that the American Idol judges will tell something articulately in a finite period.
Despite of the rudeness of Steven Tyler, Nigel still defended Tyler as he believed that Steven had done it because he believes that it is the best way in talent breaking through. For the first time in American Idol history Nigel brings the 61 contestants who are included in the Hollywood week to Las Vegas. The Idol contestants will perform some of the Beatle’s songs. Nigel said that this particular segment is just an experiment that is why it does not need to have high expectations. However, it would be the most entertaining segment of the show over the years.
Therefore, Nigel Lythgoe is very confident that the reality show would provide the best entertainment to the fans in the entire history of the show. In this sense, fans should not miss even a single episode of the American Idol season 10. Through the effort of Nigel Lythgoe the show as well as the fans will experience total entertainment.
