In an interview with The New York Post, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said things are being shaken up a bit this season.

In the upcoming season, if a contestant plays a musical instrument, they will be allowed to show off their talents in addition to singing. That's a big change from the past.


Hmmm. Wonder where they got that idea. Seems to me that someone broke that barrier a couple of years ago during a long walk...

good one Jodi, I heard this and of course they mentioned some of the ones that do play instruments like Chris and that but no Taylor was mentioned, seems strange to me that they keep forgetting him..

This might be a good idea but I wonder what Simon thinks of it sense he keeps saying "This is a singing contest" :)
