"If there's one thing that makes 'American Idol' so big, it's a huge event," Executive Producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz, told the New York Daily News.
"Something we're working on is a big-event show, sometime in the middle of the season, something that will blow America away."
Last season "American Idol" was watched by an average 31.02 million people, that's up 3 million from the prior season's 27.44 million, The New York Post reported.
The show has also launched the careers of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and "Dreamgirls" star Jennifer Hudson.
