The date might have changed but the platform was likely cemented prior. Remember ABC also controlled the nomination announcement and likely does have a lot more say on what happens and when.

  For me, with them now having a media deal with Disney/ABC, they decided to go with announcing on American Idol is because that show always have a "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Theme" week. They even had that theme last year.

  Reminder that originally fan vote was going to the 26th, then suddenly quietly got moved to the 15th without any reason why. Which clearly was because of this American Idol announcement

So this wasn't planned initially, even with the Disney contract. They only moved it and agreed to air on American Idol between when nominations started and more then halfway through. As for why, you can judge yourself. Maybe they saw something in how results were going, or maybe they came to an agreement. Just that it was not originally planned, and it's a bit odd to me

  I checked the past announcements where the Hall said they would do something new for their inductions (2020 and 2023), and the majority of the inductees aren't very populists.

For 2020, you have inductees that consisted of:

*A band with only one member left
*An industrial act that is Metal adjacent
*A New Wave/Alternative act that is more well known for music nerds and a niche group
*A Hip Hop act, though popular, might have the Hall find a hard time finding someone for a tribute performance
*A Rock band that anyone who aren't Boomers wouldn't listen

Basically, Whitney was the only populist act since she can get artists that popular with many people to do the tribute performance.

And for 2023, only George Michael, Missy Elliott, and Sheryl Crow are the only acts that are very populist while the inductees are well known to music nerds and/or certain niche groups (No, I'm not counting Willie Nelson because it seemed like people who aren't Country fans know him by name and doesn't listen to his songs).

  If Howard Stern ever gets inducted into the hall then I will never return to his "fandom" ugh. That man said heavily racist things towards Selena when she passed and insulted Linda Ronstadt (a proud Mexican American herself) who called him out on that. His insults towards Kate Bush last year also spring into my mind.

I have no idea how he managed to rehabilitate his image in Gen Z world, but he's an idiot. Simple as that.

And also, FRL tweeted an image of a wrestling announcer with the caption "LET'S GET READY TO GET UPSET!" last year. Which hinted a snub of a popular artist (more likely to be Cyndi).

  My hope for a A Tribe Called Quest induction is by looking at the past "Third time's a charm" inductees from the past few years, and also Rage Against the Machine's induction (yes Rage was nominated five times, but they had an off year and got inducted after being nominated for three years in a row).

  @Elle Dee: Hmm does the platform of the announcement usually a hint at the inductees?
The American Idol of it all…are we expecting the acts with the most Idol friendly catalogue to be announced? (Mary, Mariah, Cher, Foreigner, Kool) or is this more likely to be a flopped comms stunt considering the way the nominations announcement turned out? So last year they did a big social media campaign to announce the nominees but then had a DIY LL Cool J selfie to announce the inductees? And this year they rush announced the nominees which killed the fan ballot momentum but then are going to cable tv to announce the inductees?

The inconsistency is weird…like before this year the last time I followed the Rock Hall was probably ten years ago when they would just post news on their website whenever they felt like it.

I guess this posits well for Mariah's chances? Her being the apex progenitor of Idol-type singing and pop stardom. The last time somebody sang a Mariah song on Idol was…yesterday lol. And before that…two days ago a contestant sang "My All" which I remember somebody here said nobody remembers lol.

I will never forget Troy Smith's tweet from last year about having info of the 2023 class before it was officially revealed. He was super happy with the diversity of artists and that the white RAWK guys will have a meltdown over the list of inductees lol.

Mariah is going to be top vote getter
and most vote getter in history.

Cher, Kool almost every ballot is voting for them.

Sinead, Ozzy, DMB, Janes, Peter all have ZERO chance， every time I talk with others, others will say how few votes they get. Their ships may be sailed.

Actually, Ballots were due back yesterday (the 15th), so the inductees will know by the end of the week if they made it before they get announced on American Idol by Ryan Seacrest and Lionel Richie next Sunday, April 21 on ABC.

Let's not get too carried away with this. Today is the last day for voters to turn in their ballots. The committee will count the votes for the next 3 - 4 days before Sunday.

Also, the inductees were announced last year on Apple Music. Apple Music is just as populist and corporate as Disney-ABC.

Yes, I agree, Announcing the 2024 class on American Idol makes your (and my) list (Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher, Foreigner, Kool & The Gang, Lenny Kravitz and A Tribe Called Quest) more convincing because only our list (Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher, Foreigner, Kool & The Gang, Lenny Kravitz and A Tribe Called Quest) can make a splash on American Idol. I agree with you, Your (and my) 7 (Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher, Foreigner, Kool & The Gang, Lenny Kravitz and A Tribe Called Quest) is pretty solid after seeing this.

That's actually a pretty cool place to do it. Lionel, a RRHOF inductee, will be there. This definitely hints at Mariah being inducted. But again, still too early to call. Votes are still being sent. :) I think Mary J. was a guest judge on the show at one point too. ^_^

  I do not think announcing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees on American Idol can indicate the induction or snubbing of any artists. Remember, voters can still submit their ballots now. So, I think it's simply a promotional move by the Rock Hall. No matter who is inducted, even if most are obscure inductees, American Idol will still announce the Rock Hall inductees.
