The judges of American Idol, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and host Ryan Seacrest, embark on a new promo video for the show's Season 7 return. Taking inspiration from classic, book-based film "The Wizard of Oz", the promo features a "Golden Ticket" brick road. In this world, Katy plays t Dorothy, while Lionel plays the Cowardly Lion. However, it remains unclear whether Luke or Ryan portray the Tin Man or Scarecrow. Regardless, the talented quartet goes on a journey far from their homes to discover the finest singers across the nation.
With a call to action, Luke encourages his fellow castmates, "Come on, y'all, let's get a move on." Ryan exclaims, "Follow the Golden Ticket brick road." As they adventure across America, exploring cities and towns. Along their path, they pass signs representing the hometowns of American Idol alumni, such as Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert, and the newest addition, Iam Tongi from Kahuku, Hawaii.
Reflecting on their incredible journey, Lionel says, "What an incredible journey. I can see brighter things ahead." Then Katy asks, "What's that?" Luke responds, "That's Hollywood, where all dreams come true."
Ryan concludes with a nod to the iconic song, saying "Somewhere over the rainbow, a star will be born." Summing up their adventure, Katy exclaims, "There's no place like American Idol."
