The American Idol premiere delivered the highest ratings in ABC's Sunday lineup in more than five years and helped propel ABC into the big winner on broadcast television for Sunday night. Katy Perry is the highest paid judge in AI history with a check of $25 million. Perry who most likely thought AI wasn't going to get picked up and she would get a cute check for signing a contract also will fulfill her Witness World Tour. Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie are also touring while being apart of the panel.
