Made a post and can't find it. Has anyone done the online video submission for American Idol and got an rejection or acceptance email back?
anybody, per chance, know where i can watch season 3? full episodes? got the dvd but its only second or so last episode and 2 interviews
I have auditioned for American Idol a total of 8 times since 2021, and I am about at my wits end. I have done both covers and originals, making sure to be myself. This last time, I wrote an original ballad with the following lyrics.
I know this might seem kind of strange, but please just hear me out. I’m just what you are looking for, right here without a doubt. When I was just a little girl, a dream in me took flight: to share my music with the world and be a guiding light, but it’s been locked behind a door just out of reach of me. That’s why I’m here right now today because you hold the key!
I’m what you’re searching for! I’ve got what you seek and more! I’ve got style and fits for days from a million miles away! You’ll never find someone like me. That, I can guarantee! My story is one of a kind, unique, something you’ve never seen. I’m what you’re searching for! I’ve got what you seek and more! To earn my place I’ll do what it takes. Make no mistake! I write my own songs, and I am strong. This is where I belong! I’m what you’re searching for! I’ve got what you seek and more! So, why don’t you help me open up that door, and make a little girl’s dream soar? Cuz I’m what you’re searching for?
I just don’t know how they couldn’t love that and how it couldn’t convince them to put me forward. Not to be fair, I did get a little ahead of the track and mess up on one note, but the note that I did end up singing was within the cord structure, so it honestly shouldn’t have been very noticeable. What else can I do to convince them that I’m what they’re looking for? Is there something about my social media that they might not like I don’t post anything political I know I haven’t posted a lot of music stuff lately due to being sick and busy. Do they think I’m not serious because of that? that’s about the only thing I can think of that could possibly be going against me. Idk. I’m just at a loss of what else to do because I feel like I’ve followed every piece of advice that Patrick and everyone else has given me. At some point you’d think based on the number of times I’ve come back and auditioned that they’d just put me through out of sympathy. Idk… If somebody kept coming back and auditioning that many times and I were them, I would think that they were pretty serious, and I’ve gotten many compliments from producers saying that I have many good qualities in my voice, so I know it’s not just because I’m a terrible singer or anything like that.
The title speaks for itself.
For me, I’ve always liked Camille Velasco. Her vocal tone is so unique and pleasing on the ears. It’s also aged really well, I always go back to her audition. The judges were right with the Lauryn Hill comparisons.
Unfortunately, she was definitely not ready (few 17-year-olds are) for live television. Her first performance was decent (she lucked out by being in group 2) but it all went downhill from there. However, her cover of “Until You Come Back to Me” on the Idol CD was excellent.
I actually have a few of her songs on my Spotify playlist.
Hi I have auditioned for this season but I haven’t heard back yet I’m not sure what’s going on or who I can contact, I’d prefer to know I did/ didn’t make it then to have no communication. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
So I remember parts of an original song someone sang and I can't find it anywhere in the internet, most likely I'm just not googling the right keywords. I was hoping someone here could help me out.
The lyrics I remember
”s dot cow(el)l, yes that's spells scowl, always on the prowl no need to growl"
and
"girl take a midol, you know you're looking like a American Idol”

Hello! I know many people have posted asking about this, but i’m dying to know….
had my audition yesterday afternoon. I was moved from that audition to the winners circle. once i auditioned (for the last round before celeb judges) they told me i sounded really great and they had a few more people to listen to but would be in touch within the next couple of weeks. Is that a nice way of saying i won’t hear back? do they take this time to rewatch the videos/recordings and choose from there? or is it a total loss?
i thought my audition went really well but wanted to hear other people’s experience with this as well, and if anyone can provide any comfort (good or bad) i’d love to hear it lol. break a leg everyone!!!
Anyone
Hello everyone!! I hope everyone’s having a good day! Yesterday I did a virtual audition for the East Coast and I wanted to know if anyone heard back from them? If I didn’t get a email back yesterday does that mean I should just audition again? Lol
This is a longshot but I am looking to see if anyone remembers and as a result can point me to the episode I am looking for.
Essentially in one of the earlier seasons probably in the range of season 3-10 there was a week after first audition and this one contestant (male brown hair) went in front of the judges last and he requested the band not play with him singing out of respect for the band (or something to that effect).
I haven’t been able to locate this episode/clip but it has some deep meaning in my family and I’m on a quest to locate.
Again I know it’s a longshot but I appreciate any help in advance.
If nothing, I’ll likely end up rewatching all old seasons once again to find this moment altho figured to ask Reddit first because why not.
Cheers.
Alright Redditt.. do your thing: I am trying to remember the three contestants on an earlier season of AI they were eliminated early but came back for the Finale and were billed as 'the 3 cowboys' I believe they sang 'mama dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys' One of them was black, one was a young kid from a small town that said he 'had only ever sang to his chickens' and the third was a big guy from Colorado and i think his last name was 'buckly or buckingham...'
Does anyone remember???? One of them came back another year but didnt get past hollywood, but he shold have. I want to know what happened to them or if they are still performing, or only to his chickens Thank you!

If you could have any social media Influencer singer or youtube. Audition for next years american idol who would you choose to see audition?
for me I want to see a male singer called Landon Boyce audition. I think he got an amazing voice, plus his a talented musician and I believe especially girls will like him and vote for him.

They were talking about the upcoming season and he said how Carrie Underwood is having a tough time hearing people's underdog stories while Luke more or less says he's completely immune to them now. Well, why do you interrogate the contestants so much at the auditions and dig into their personal trauma than?
I feel like they encourage the contestants to spill all their personal business in recent seasons and now hearing from Luke "yeah, I don't really care about it."
I liked him a lot at the beginning of the reboot but he's really started to turn me off last season and now hearing him say stuff like this. He seems kind of two-faced. If you're gonna be cutthroat, at least own it like Simon did.
