See Katy Perry’s shock, Lionel Richie’s tears in exclusive American Idol season 17 preview

This (weekend)… is American Idol.

Host Ryan Seacrest and judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie are back for season 17 of the ABC singing competition — the second for the judging panel.

“Having a year behind me makes me feel more educated on what’s to come,” country star Bryan says in the exclusive preview above, “and I’m excited about the talent we have for our second season.”

“It took last year for us all to get our feet in the water, if you will,” Richie admits. “Now we’re taking the dive.”

In Sunday’s premiere, the nationwide search for contestants hoping to secure a ticket to Hollywood journeys to Louisville, Ky.; Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Los Angeles, Calif.; New York, N.Y.; and Denver, Colo.

Perry is looking for “talent, personality, and story,” and we’ll get lots of all three, judging by several of her bright-eyed reactions — and tears, thanks to, well, Richie’s tears.

“Lionel, you look like you’re walking a daughter down the aisle,” Bryan says to Richie, who’s wiping streaming tears from his face while a legally blind contestant sings Andra Day’s “I’ll Rise Up.”

Watch the exclusive video above for more. Season 17 of American Idol premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. on ABC.

How Celtics’ Playoff Push Could Impact Kyrie Irving’s Free Agency

Aaron Gash/Associated Press For most of the league, Kyrie Irving ‘s free agency won’t begin until July 1, after he declines his player option and can officially make a decision. For the Boston Celtics , though, the process is already underway. Every other potential suitor is competing for Irving’s affections from afar. The Celtics are vying for his services from the inside. They’re not so much auditioning to keep him as not to lose him. And despite what the rumor mill has tried to lay bare, their postseason push stands to be a, if not the , chief determining factor.  It isn’t supposed to be like this for Boston. Irving’s free agency was deemed a non-issue not even five months ago. He declared his allegiance to the organization before the regular season tipped off, and the Celtics had a big-picture chokehold over the Eastern Conference before LeBron James ever left for Hollywood. But time has a way of eroding at preconceived notions, and recent events portray Irving’s return as

Top Quotes from Antonio Brown, Anthony Davis, LeBron James on ‘The Shop’

Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Two of the biggest and most disgruntled stars in sports were given a new forum to discuss the situation with their current teams.  Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans and Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers joined LeBron James on Friday’s episode of  The Shop , and they got into what they believe is an unfair representation of who they are.  According to  Jason La Canfora   of CBS Sports,  Brown got in an argument with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger during practice, which led to his benching  in Week 17. Brown requested a trade from the Steelers on Feb. 12. The seven-time Pro Bowler tweeted  a week later, after a meeting with Steelers president Art Rooney II, that both sides agreed to move on. “That’s the narrative they try to create once you doing your own thing,” Brown said regarding reports of drama in the Pittsburgh locker room. “It’s like, this guy’s a distraction. He’s this type of guy. All I’ve ever been was a guy who came f
