If you go to an audition be sure to send us pictures to share with everyone.
Update: Ryan Seacrest mentioned Denver, CO had been added to the list, but Idol has still not added it to the official list or made any reference to when that event would be. I’ll continue to watch and update as more information is released.
Update 2: We’re still waiting for any signs of life from American Idol and FOX regarding the auditions for 2012. In the meantime user AngelaDove posted the following narrative of her experiences from trying out the past few season:
I’ve additioned three times and made it through twice, so I just thought I’d pipe in about a few things that I’ve seen people post incorrectly. In past years, including last year, registration opened in the morning two days before the audition day – you can register anytime from the open of registration to the close of registration, which is typically the morning of the audition day (at like 7am or something).
The order in which you register will usually determine the order in which you audition, but I have never seen anyone get turned away for registering later than others. I’ve registered as late as 6pm on the 2nd day and I made it through that year (I’ve actually never registered the first day) – I also know someone that made it through last year, who literally registered at like the last second, around 7am the day of auditions.
Obviously, they don’t have forms, etc. up yet, but I’d guess they’d have them up this week. It’s typical for them to be up about a week before the first date, though they won’t necessarily have specific info up for ALL cities at the same time. The forms aren’t anything big, so don’t worry about that until they’re out.
Oh, and you can sing any song you want the first time.
We can’t verify any of that information, but if it’s true then I thought it’d be helpful for those of you already panicking.
Update 3: Finally! FOX just released the American Idol 2012 audition dates and locations. I’ve updated the list below with the additional cities and all the information announced. If it isn’t listed here then I don’t know it.
Wow a new season!!!! Matt? do you know if we will have the same judges for next season?
There hasn't been a peep about the judges yet.
I'm not surprised there will be another season. I'm expecting another 4-5 seasons. The show wins its time slots every night so as long as it's making gobs of $$ then FOX will continue to renew it.
Now for the judges, if JLo really goes off and does her Latin "The Chosen" show and recovers her fumbled music career then she may decide she doesn't have time for American Idol 2012. But I'd expect Tyler and Jackson to be back for sure (just anticipation, not fact based).
oh please let them have at least 1 singing teacher on board…someone that can critique honestly and may I add humanely ( not a Simon type)
Yes I think Idol needs that person who is honest with these kids. Maybe not in acruel way, but for sure to tell them whe nthey need to make it happen and when their sucked they need to know it was NOT a good performance. I like Jimmy accessment of the 5 yesterday.. i like that he is honest and calls it the way he sees it. Those kids NEED the negetive with the positive. So Steven stop blowing smoke and give some useful advice!
I'd at least wish it was someone with better judgement than Jimmy Iovine…and a kinder tongue than Simon.
I personally think that whichever judges are picked, should take a course in "how to give constructive criticism".
Simon did a good Job.
Lawdy Clawdy–I sure hope not!!
haha Ruth… I agree!!
I doubt that there're another 4-5 seasons…if they don't correct the voting system & improve the show (i.e. not the same old theme every season!). I'd almost guarentee that it's rating will be going down & down, espeically, aparts from the voice, don't forget a new X-factor is on the way!
Steven Tyler is coming back but J-Lo is taking one day at a time she said last night
the audition is too early
Yeah….it's earlier than usual….must be competing with the X-factor, I guess
I think that they need to get someone like Simon to fill Jlo's shoes, someone who is honest and does want to help the kids with constructive criticism instead of WOW you are the best, etc., Also think that they should only allow kids who have graduated high school so maybe 17 or 18 and up.
Agreed! They should get someone like Bette Mildler or Cindy Lauper or someone equivalent! JLo is not even to be considered as a good singer, left alone critize others with more talented than her!
I am so glad ia am not the only one that thinks jlo cannot sing
I'm right there with you guys. I don't think she can sing either.
Hi, my name is Kelsey, I am a fifteen year old girl. I am planning on auditioning in July. Just because I haven’t graduated yet doesn’t mean anything. I plan to finish school, and even go to college. I don’t want to sing because it will make me famous, that is the last thing on earth i could really care about. I want to sing because i believe that is what I was put on earth for. I find it really hard to believe that an ADULT would say that, especially since you all are constantly telling us teenagers not to judge a book by its cover, it you dont want us to do it. You basically just stereotyped every person under the age of 17, by basically saying that we don’t know what we want to do with our lives. Just because i want to sing doesn’t mean I want to drop out. Half the people at my high school drop out at the age 16, but it wasn’t because they were singers, it was other reasons. So please don’t try to change that because YOU and a few others think we cant make decisions for ourselves, because I know, i don’t always make the right ones, but i make responsible ones most of the time. And a gradate, i honestly take that very offensive, my brother dropped out of high school because he had cancer and wasn’t able to be around other people because his immune system was to low. Just because he hasn’t graduated doesn’t mean anything.
A lot of people living on the streets graduated from high school, just one question, what do you have to say about that?
Hey, my name is Kelsey too! and I will be tryin out at the St.Louis auditions. Every word you just typed was totally true. Stand up for youre generation! I just wanted to say good luck and have fun… Not everyone gets to live there dream but we have this AMAZING opportunity! Never say never and keep them dreams alive, you only live once.
Sincerely,
Kelsey
Hey!
And mine its not official yet. I play year round softball and have to make sure if its okay if i miss a few tournaments for this. So hopefully i can. And thank you. Good luck to you too(:
Kelsey
the the 1st kelsey that commented, i also am named kelsey and also will be trying out in saint louis, see ya there, maybe, it’ll be crowded 😛
thats not fair to the kids that have waited years to be on the show i think that the age range they have now is proper and very good it gives kids that have no hope in life something to look for
i have a cousin named dallin mcallister whos auditioning today… for the first time in his life; im so excited for him… he has a really really rich voice and is extremely talented. hes 17 right now and im super excited to see him sing this year on american idol… wish him luck…
I hope Thia tries out again…if not 2012 then 2113.
I really liked her voice . I think she just needs some more maturity for voice and stage presence.
lol i dont think american ido will still be on air in a hundred years
She is boring!
Thia made it too far in the competition. She can’t audition again.
Well I'm 14 ill be 15 may 24 and I have always wanted to american idol since I watched the first season. I live in georgia but I'm going to the auditions in charelston,sc
cant wait to see ur audition
Upload your singing to Youtube, and give the link of your video here. We will see and review how good you are. Most of us here are really good reviewer (it's that right, Matt ?). You can rely on Brendan, Matt, Ashley, Templar, David P, Pup, etc to ask feedback, suggestion, etc before you audition.
But I am afraid most of us will advice you not to audition this year. They will tell you to finish your school, wait for 4 years or so in order to gain sufficient training on vocal, etc until you are ready to appear in the show.
Does that apply to me, too??
(I'm in the black and white polka dotted dress)
Jessica, thanks for giving the links. I have just watched both.
Well, I am really impressed, mostly because you did it in Church, so I believe you are already born again and have a dedicated service in church.
Alright then, in my opinion, you should better pray to God first, asking Him, whether your audition will be in agreement with His will or not. I dont’ mean to discourage you,
but it should be the first thing to do for every God’s children before making decision, etc.
How old are you ? If you are 18 or above, I agree with your plan to audition.
Btw, in your second video, you sang song from Malachi 3:1-5. My favorite verses of that chapter of Malachi are 3:10-11, because I really like this promise of the Lord of Host.
Keep serving the Lord with your talent. Lord Jesus bless you.
We will see :
1. The next Casey (with extreme growling and strong desire to kiss every girl/woman)
2. The next Scotty (with super low register and completely horizontal microphone holding)
3. The next Paul (with unclear voice and more awkward dancing)
, etc in AI 2012.
… LOL
& the next Jacob (with super high note and gyration femininely on stage…& tell viewer to look themselves closely in mirror!)lol!
I think Idol should officially announce changes they will make to the show to correct the problems the public has with it before announcing auditions. They should be pumping up the voters on great "fixes" in the voting, judges saves, etc before assuming we want to go through this again.
I think idol should do away with the judges save because it is not right to save one from elimination and then the rest of the contestant don't have this option. It is kind of unfair to everyone else.
Well im 15 years old and will be 16 years old on July 24th. I have always wanted to sing on American Idol since years ago =)I live in moncks Corner SC. , how do i sign up for an audition ?
Hey I really need to know how to register for portland or time and place please
hey, I have no clue. I’m trying to figure out a way to sign up for an audition too . so we on the same page .=]
all you have to do is go on the american idol website and search for a audition form
Well im 14 but ive been dreaming about this my whole life. To even audition would be great! I hope they at least let me audition!!!
Hey guys check this out! Now you can see who is spying on your facebook profile!
Hello well im 14 an i have always wanted to be on your show and im wonderin if it wld be alright bc i am verry anxious to be on there plz email me at lindsey.dooley@gmail.com thank you
lindsey
Lindsey, i think you should wait one more year. It will give you time to decide what you want to do if this doesnt work out. Take time to think it through. I really hope you follow through with your dreams. Good luck. 🙂 I am not trying to be rude at all. Just trying to help you out. 🙂
Steph
I want to be the first female from Alabama!!! After the Tornadoes that hit here, I wish to inspire others to live life to the fullest! We could use this to help build Alabama! We will rise again!!! That will be my motto:) However you feel about God is your business, but I know that God gave me this voice to inspire and be a leader! I believe that is Radical and is what makes an idol! Just like the song from the incredible Dolly Parton, “I’ve got Jesus and Gravity.”
I have never heard that song by Dolly Parton, but I really like another Dolly Parton’s song “Smokey Mountain Memories”; the lyrics are full of inspiring words. I am looking forward to hearing Lauren Alaina singing that song.
I have just listened that song (Jesus and Gravity) in youtube.
Yes, great song with great lyrics. I want Scotty or Lauren to sing it in AI whenever possible
I just wish Idol auditions would come to Pittsburgh. We have a beautful city and places to hold auditions.
i need to knw exactly wat to do i really need to audition.ANY HELP??????ANY BODY?????PLEASE
Really, what all is needed to audition? I wanted to tryout when I was 16 and my older brother (legal guardian) was going to go with me, but my mom talked me out of going. Still regret it. Then (back in 2006), you had to fill out an application and send it and whatnot and have paperwork.
If that’s still the case, where do we get the information to fill out and whatnot?
To be honest Scotty should not be here right now. His second song sounded like he was a singing at a country fair and it was a joke. He is a good guy but he needs to go.
scotty should winnnn hes the best and stefano was great
Do u think they will come to chattanooga or anywhere in tn maybe even ga
I was shocked and appalled that James went home!! I’ve loved him from the very beginning and to see him go saddened me! And the fact that Haley is still there instead of him angers me! It should have been James and Scotty in the finals. You wanna talk about record-shattering votes from this season? That one would have blown the voting apart!! But again, sadly, James is gone… He will do awesome even though he didn’t win just like Chris Daughtry. One more thing: Lauren and Haley may in the top 3 but they better watch out because Scotty’s gonna take it all!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH KELSEY AND KELSEY!! Im 15 too and i am auditioning in St Louis. I honestly couldnt care less about fame or fortune either! I know i want the rest of my life to be FULL of music and i want to make a positive, powerful impact on peoples lives. I want to record songs about self empowerment and confidence. I want my message to be sent ACROSS AMERICA! My cousin died of suicide, and maybe if there were a few more artists singing about self importance and esteem, then maybe the suicides per year number would decrease. DRAMATICALLY!! I know i am only one voice, but please listen.
How do we find out what time and the places of auditions? I’m thinking about going to the Houston, Texas audition. But I need more information on it. And if there is a sign up necessary.
hey, umm my names kelsey i live in weston mo and really want to audition in saint louis, but i’m not intirley sure if i can, like right now i’m 14, but i turn 15 in september, which is before it even aires on t.v. . and i think im pretty good at singing. so would it be against the ruls for me to audition or would it be ok, because the audition really isn’t the compitition, i’ll be 15 during the competition just not audition. please comment and tell me casue i really don’t wanna risk 2012 being the last rear they do it 🙁 sorry for any miss spellings ):
Ok just to get this clear but do they have auditions in New Jersey like on a day that I’m not busy because I turn 15 on July 18 and wanted to join and it says that Pennsylvania is the closest but I might be camping with my Church friends. I don’t know what to do!!!
Hi,Everyone! Well I certainly came to the right place; you are all so informed about AI! I live near Portland, OR where AI will hold auditions in July. My son is 15 years old just before the competition begins; I was glad to hear of the lowered age limit to audition. My son’s name is Jordan and he plays the baritone, accoustic and electric guitar, and has a distinctive singing style & ,and is now teaching himself clarinet, too. My point is he is well rounded and passionate about music; he has never had a lesson in his life, he’s just a natural. I know all mothers think their kids are the next Justin Bieber or Shirley Temple, however,neither he nor I are looking for fame by auditioning or, by some quirk of fate he were selected to continue. Our interest is because it would be a good experience to be a part of the process, but most importantly, it is an opportunity to practice ‘auditioning’. I want him to experience the reality of ‘showbiz’; how many people he’s competing against, the quality of his competition. This would be an invaluable experience and maybe it would save him a lot of heartache and keep him from wasting time on unrealistic expectations. Or, it could give him a taste of the big time and present a challenge to him that he think he is up for.
I wanted to add to the dialogue concerning AI opening auditions for 15 and older.My feeling is that AI has elected to open to younger contestants because there are a lot of talented kids out there and they are starting younger and younger. Just look at Taylor Swift – she was 18 when she cut her first album. As I stated above, there are lots of hopes and experiences I hope for my son to gain from auditioning. Whether he decides the ‘life’ isn’t for him or that he wants to try to go on to ‘the big time’ is his choice. No one can make realistic, well thought out decisions unless they know first hand their options. This is especially true for adolescents who have not have the full benefit of a life experience. I do not think that an additional year or two in high school is going to make a difference; real experience doesn’t come until at least after 20, 21. Again, so many kids are starting out early in performance, sports,and academics that truly, 18 year-olds are a little ‘long in the tooth’ to compete against 13 to 16 year olds. Just sayin’! Good luck to all who are going to try to audition. Peace.
Hey, My name is Matt and I plan to audition for American Idol in Charleston, I’m from Rockingham, N.C. and I’m 16 about to turn 17 next week. I have a few songs I ‘ve already sang and are on youtube. here are the links. Give me feedback.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHhQwi-myxA&feature=related
Well for me (a 15-year-old) there are no good reasons why I can’t try out: I have a backup plan if I don’t get on the show, and a school plan if I do.
If I don’t make it on the show, I want to be a baker, and if I **do** make it, I can take my school with me (since I attend online school…)
hey let me kno when the address is posted please i wanna audition
You’ll have to keep checking back if you want to get the information. As soon as it’s released we will post it here.
Do we have an idea on where they auditions will be and what time it will be?
what about NY or NJ?
what about in Milwakee? or madison what if no one lives in those states i live in Wisconsin?
i agree i think we realy need to have auditions up here im from wisconsin too i wanted to audition last year but was 7 mnths prego couldnt do it. i want to this year but theres nothing close!!!
I am with ya i an 18 and i want to try out too but it it just to far away i had one last year i got an audition form but i was too late it didnt get done in time. there are talented people all over the world why go so far away?
is there any paperwork that has to be filled out in advance to audition?
Can 11 Year old do it please
i remember when i was 11 and i was like i wanna try out i’m gonna be 16 this year and am hoping to try out you have to wait just like everyone else just remeber it gives you more time to train your voice so you can be the best
i am in fostercare i was taken away form my mom when i was 8 years old. i have a really good voice i can sing saprano and alto i have been sining or should i say trying at age 3 and sining is my world i want to be on American idol beacuse i want amrica to vote if i should start a singing career. i think 11 year olds should be able to sing too i am with ya on that one!
Is there a cost to try out for American Idol? I am 15 and plan to try out in Oregon for this season. Is there a cost for housing or anything like that while in Hollywood or on the live stage? Will a legal guardian have to come with me to Hollywood week, and will we need to buy plane tickets?
If someone could answers these questions, that would be great! I need to know if there is a cost ahead of time! 🙂
You should make it to the Hollywood round first….
The plane tickets are provided if you make it to hollywood, but I am not sure about any of the other information
I hope Sacramento makes it on the list this year! 🙂
Sacramento, CA I mean. My bad lol
i think more Californians or more northern states should be the states of winners not states of the confederacy or slave states.
i guess the winners mostly come from the south because that’s where all of the talent is.. just a guess!
I agree w/ Chase.
How Could You Even Say Something Like That..
That Is The Past, Get Over It. There Is ALOT Of Talent In The South, Not Our Fault.. (:
I know that what he said was kinda uneccessary but how can you say it was a thing of the past and that we should “get over it”? Thats just ignorant and its easy for you to say because your ancesters werent raped hung and burnes or just plain treated like animals. Everything that us African Americans have is what we had to fight for. Please you may not have meant it that way but it stings. Be more careful with your words in the future.
It is in the past. I can’t believe that anyone could think they are owed something because of what happened 3-4 generations ago. Keyword in your post: Ancestors. That does not mean you! Now if your great grandma wants to come talk about it, no problem! She has all the room in the world to talk when it happened to her first hand. I am Native American and I don’t go around talking about the things that were done to my ancestors. The trail of tears happened to my people but fact of the matter is that it is in the PAST! Move on already!!!!!!
I bet people don’t realize that back in the day whites were slaves to black then it switch black to white… and hints you said ancestors which means it didnt happen to you or your mama and probably not even your grandma… P.S. If it wasn’t for the white mans help you would still be slaves… SMDH Yall need to realize that yes white men enslaved you but white men were also the ones that saved your ass… SMMFH At ignorant mofo’s that really don’t know their history… research and become informed before you talk and look stupid 😀
I wish they would come to chicago or wisconsin because there are a whole bunch of people i know that want to come
July 8th San Diego here I come 😀
lucky.
I am finally old enough to audition and there is no place MODERATELY close enough. I am really really super sad. :'(
My boyfriend convinced me to try out, he is amazing. So happy they are having tryouts in Portland Oregon, im 16 and only have to drive an hour for my tryout 🙂 love for albany OR!
I’m from Oregon too, and turning 16 this year. I’m sooo glad they’re having auditions in Portland finally! 😀
OMG!!! Ur soo lucky you’re old enough!! I’m 13 and wanna audition sooo bad!! I live in Albany too!!

Please, please RAISE the age limit to 31…. I want to audition so bad..
I have never been one to sing in public. I get too nervous but i think this would bring me out of my shell. All my friends say i have an amazing voice and have been trying to get me to audition or show my voice for a while. I grew up living with my father in Johnston county North Carolina with my mom and sister living in Colorado for the past 10-11 years. I am 20 years old and ever since the parents separating and my sister with epilepsy singing was a thing to calm me down when i am alone. A shot like this would mean so much to me. I will be there in Charleston SC on July 22nd
Im sooo excited for the PDX auditions!!! Ima be the next american idol!!! Ima represent Oregon! Go Donner Party!!!!
i’m 14 turning 15 in october to late to adition but, i am definaitley going to next year. I have been singin for as long as i can remember and hope i get a shot to sing.
Hey, Im 16 and was wondering if there any auditions in seattle this year? if i wanted to audition would i have to sign forms or anything to be able to go and try out?
I want to Audition in Portland Or. this coming year, but only if I get my voice back to where I am happy with it. I don’t want to go and just embarrass myself. Does it cost money to audition or anything?
hahaha This coming July. Got over excited with the typing!
I’m from Chattanooga, Tn… i wonder if auditions will be near here again :S
I’m taking vacation in July so I can try out for American Idol in San Diego, CA. I live in Orange County. I wish the best of luck for everyone else out there looking to try out. 🙂
My 19 year old finally decided to try out,is there paperwork that she can fill out prior to the auditions and what about pictures or video’s. Can or do we send those in to a specific place and time frame? Thanks in advance!
I was waitin for them to announce where the auditions would be and i really wanted to try out this year but i live in milwaukee, wi. i have no other way to get to any other state besides illinois. Oh well i guess ill have to wait til next year. 🙁
i live in wisconsin too i live in black river falls and there is no way my mother is gonna want to drive out of state any ways my mom and i and my family are already going to florda and we dont need to go anywhere els. i wanted to try out to but its just to far away. i bet ya if they came to Milwaukee or madison they would find more talnted people then in those other states. dont ya agree!
they really should go to denver or minneapolis because those of us in the midwest cant drive to the coastal areas. C’mon American Idol show the Midwest some love!
I also live in Wisconsin, but im going to be in California late june so ill have to drive the 12 hour drive to Pittsburgh… I wonder if ill get air time like i did this last year 🙂
I just saw on the news that the AI audition is coming to Denver on July 29th at the Invesco Field..
Ok, did Ryan just accidentally say Denver last night on the finale? Because I can’t find the information for that audition place on any website. All I see is the auditions ending in Houston in every sight. But I’m sure he said denver… If anyone knows any information about it please let me know! I want to audition soo badly.
this is my thing too..i have looked everywhere and i cant find anything but i really want to audition…
Looking for Denver too! I have replayed the show and he DEFINiTELY said denver! I wish they would confirm with a TBA date. PLEASE?
July 29th at the Invesco field
“FOX has announced the first round of audition events for American Idol 2012.” Is there a second round? I’m with Lauren, Ryan said last night that there were going to be auditions in Denver. Can you please let us know if this is true or was it an error.
okay, what if the auditions are no where near where you live and may not have a way to get there? and what if your turning 15 just shortly after the auditions because im going to be 15 on july 29 and i dont want to wait another year to try out.. any suggestions??
Well the way your saying it i think you should whait unless you can find someone to take ya who are 18 or older other wise i dont know what to say. i am new at this typing thing so i dont know what to say but good luck. maybe you should post a video of you sining and see if many people thik ya sould go. i am trying to go on idol beacuse i am starting a creerer in singing and i need America to see if i should other wise if they say no i am not good then i will have to find something els to do. good luck!!
It’s $50,000 for the pick and $25,000 to get the player back.
I live in Staten Island, New York. I need to audition can some one tell me the closest place. My family cant really afford to travel by plane or train, we need a place we can drive to, maybe New Jersey or up-state NY. PLEASE help me! I really need this. Its my lifelong dream!!!
I am fourteen years old. I’ll be fifteen this summer and I wanted to audition for American Idol. Sadly the Audition that I want to go to is less than a month before my birthday! Is there any way that I can still go?

Okay So Heres The Deal, I’m 14yrs old But I Will Turn 15 During The Live Show. I Was Wondering if I Could Still Audition For 2012’s American Idol. I Can Not Wait Another yr. -I Think I’m Speaking For All The Teens Who Will Be Turning 15 During The Show or The Teens Who Were Born in 1997. -Can We Still Try Out??? Please Let Me Know!
I have replayed the show and he definitely said Denver. Could you please confirm if this is true with a to be announced date? I have a nephew that has flown back from New Zealand to try out and is staying with us and we need to make our plans and we live in Denver.

When are you guys coming to the Chicago area??
Okay,
I live in Florida.
Like I’m on mobile which one is closer O-o
They need to have them in atlanta again or are they don’t judge I’m slow on this.
I know it’s called ‘AMERICAN Idol’, but can I go to an audition to ‘American Idol’ even though I come from a whole another country 🙂 ? .. Thought maybe to go to an audition someday ? 😛
I don’t know but I was thinking that. I am from the UK and was thinking of coming over. What do you think?
I live close to the UK (: ! but yeah I definitely think that you should go 😀 you never know, maybe you’ll be the next American Idol, so just go for it 🙂
No. you have to be able to legally work in the U.S.
Iwant to tryout because i think i can win the next american idol
Will i been watching american for the hole time scotty mccreery was on it and if he can bring the title to north carolina i think i well give it a shot and try to bring to the title to north carolina agian so can you give me a shot at it?
From. Aaron Crabill
I Want To Auition So Bad! Singing Is My Favorite Thing To Do, And Everyone Always Tells Me I Could Win On American Idol. I Disagree, But Being On This Show Would Be The Best Thing To Ever Happen To Me, Win Or Lose. (:
Wouldn’t it be cool if we did make it…at least to the top 5? Who would you want to sing with ?….im all for adam lambert……hes a great singer. ever since i have seen the show, i have been wanting to try out. i just got singed up for private voive lessons so i can have a better chance in passing….it would be a miricle if i passed past the auditions.
I am going to try out…i have watched it for many seasons but have never done anything about it yet. I just hope that I’m good enough……
How do I get the forms that i need when we go to the audition? I can’t find it so where do I look to get it? Where in Pittsburg PA is the auditions at? I need an address so we can plan it thanks
Really need the paper work for auditions. Coming up to Pittsburgh. When will all the info be up?
I am deff trying out:)
I also need the forms to try out In Houston:)
Im trying out n Houston as well too! Good Luck!!!
I am planning on auditioning in Houston. I am wanting to bring the title home to H-town! Yall check out my videos on youtube (mpmorris81) and let me know what yall think 😉 Thanks!!!!!!
i am from florida and i reeeaallllyyy want to try out ! i have been dreaming of this day since i was about 9 or 10. i wish they would come to florida or georgia or SOMETHING ! please help.. where is closest ?
Is it posible for them to come to the central US so people in Minnesota can audition.
when is the addres and time going to be disclosed?
when will the time and address for charelston sc goimg to be disclosed???
This is my opinion. I think that American idol has done a good job picking there winners only one fault. They never had a latino person win the show….I think its about time for that….Just my opinion again…Thanx
I think so too. I think that it would be great if you won…..or any of us…i live in yuma – in the middle of nowhere…..i bet the judges don’t even know where yuma is …..
I want to try out, it’s always been my dream since the first season to go on American Idol and I am wanting to try out maybe this year. Not too sure yet..
Yea….I signed up foir private voice lessons so i would have a better chance – but I doubt it….I might have a better chance if Paula came back (without Simon) but Randy is still there and so is J.Lo….so who knows…but I think that I am going to wait until my lessons are over. But don’t give up….just go for it…..if you pass or don’t pass…at least you tried..that’s what is important….
There should be an audition New Jersey. I turn 15 July 19th and I live to far away from Charleston. I’ve been practicing for years to be on this show and it kills me to know I cant audition till next summer. Please consider it fox. Thanks:)
I love this show and I have been watching your show ever since it started. I love to sing and I would like to try out. Im not sure what the process is to audition. I hope to here from you soon.

Hey, my friend is looking to audition but he will only be 14 at the time of auditions. His birthday is like literally a month later. Does he HAVE to be 15 at the time of auditions?
yess
They might be changing the age limits again, but it’s not written into stone yet. Who knows: maybe they will do something for someone if their birthday is that close to the planned audition day.
Its the best what I saw before. I like this site. Txh
I know that the dates are posted and the time is to be announced. My questions are when will they be posted and is there a prior sign up.

Where did they audition last year at there?
A great place for auditions would be the sun dome in Tampa, Florida. It is next to the Florida state fairgrounds so there would be Plenty of parking. It is also right next to two interstates, I-75 and I-4, which give easy access to anyone in our state and states north of us. Or Raymond James stadium, home of the Buccaneers, seats 50,000 and has ample parking for same.
Pittsburgh PA watch out because i’m comming 🙂
I am proud to say that i will be in harleston sc, july 22, 2011 to try out for the amazing american idol:) Im so ready and very exited to showcase my talent to everyone! Hope yall enjoy.

Anyone have good song to audition, for a girl? I have 3 octaves so I dont really care about the range of the song…
Hello were is the audition is going to be at St.Louis Mo.
Why don’t they have auditions in Arkansas?? Kris Allen was from Conway Arkansas
Probably because Chris Allen was from Arkansas…
So, I’ve been wondering, do we print off audition registration forms or wait until we get to our audition city and fill them out there? Also, is there an audition fee. And does anyone know where the auditions will be held in Houston. Thanks
Do you have to fill out any paperwork or do you just show up and sing? If you have to fill out paperwork, where do I find that? Thanks.
When are the tryouts in Chicago?
where in st.louis will the american idol auditions be held?
scottrade center
I’m auditioning in St. Louis!
what is the age cut off this year. i heard there was no upper limit
I would assume there will be the same upper age limit as last years. I haven’t heard they were removing the age limit.
where do you send the photo they want?
So once the site has given the place, do we just go and wait, or is there a pre-sign-in online or something?
Go and stand in line on the registration days.
when will auditions be shown on tv
Are these going to be the only places? If so I have a long drive to whichever one…lol.
Are the locations listed above the only locations that the Auditions will be held in?
No, there is more. but they still haven’t posted them.
I’m not expecting any additional audition dates being announced.
Well I’m 14, & I’m turning 15 on Nov. 2. I really want to audition for American Idol! But when are the auditions in Chicago? & will they be after my birthday & if not can I still audition if they are before I turn 15? I tried out for America’s Got talent this year, but didn’t make it. So, I was really hoping American Idol would be my thing! (:
does anyone know wen theyre comin to Louisville nd wat time?
If it doesn’t say above next to the listing for Louisville, then no, nobody knows that yet because it hasn’t been released.
oh and also im 14 nd im turnin 15 in november nd can i still audition if its b4 my b-day? American Idol is one of my fav. shows nd ive been lookn forward to it for awhile now..
no you cannot audition. you have to be fifteen before june 26th.
The age requirement is 15 years of age. If you are 14 years old then that’s not 15, is it?
why arent there any auditions in D.C.?
Let me put on my mind-reading hat and check for you… Oh wait, this is just a regular hat.
I have no idea.
im trying out in st.louis!!!!
Where is it going to be at in St. Louis
i want to try out so bad have sinse i was little i love to sang and hope and pray one day i get my chance…..

Haha no I’m actually gonna be the next AI but good luck to ya. ill be auditioning in St Louis 😉
I’m trying out this year in TX, I wish everyone luck who tries out as well.
I will be there as well, not expectation to make I tf to hollywood but just for some criticism from people who know what they are talking about’
Can anyone provide a comment on what happens during the audition day if you are lucky enough to get a gold ticket. Do you need to be available later in the day for another audition round or once they get your information from your first audition are you free to leave?
Does any one know how to register to audditon and what time audditions begin, I’m 15 and want to auddition in sandiego ca , someone please reply to me as soon as possible

I’m 15, and I am most likely trying out for American Idol this summer in South Carolina or Pennsylvania. I just need more information. Where could I send the picture you mentioned?
I want to audition in PA but do not know where any of the information about it is. When does that come out about where and when the audition is? and stuff about registration? I am only 15 and need to find the info for my parents.

I’m trying out in Charleston SC. I will be traveling from NC. I have to admit that I’m scared an there this a lot of strong voices out here. But I’m going to give it my all an represent my small hometown of Williamston NC…..God is my ally!
This is me I am thinking about trying out in Houston TX comments?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtgkdO48HSM
Where in Houston are the auditions?
I can not wait to go and sing
I’ve been wanting to try out for idol since the first season but i never knew where to go. I hope this year i could try out and maybe go to hollywood. but no expectations, but hope is there.
I have been singing for fun since i was little. I am 16 years old and singing is one thing i am good at(: I just need more info for the san diego auditions(: Where do we send the pictures?
I need to know where in Pitssburg it will be because I need to get a hotel room.
I don’t know where they found this page, but it has more detailed information about the auditions. Hope it helps!
http://www.americanidol.com/news/view/pid/5230/
I’m still confused because there is no Florida stop listed… it’s weird because they usually stop here in FL. Idk, hopefully they will add some more audition stops soon!
Good luck everyone auditioning (:
i’ve wanted to audition since i was little well littler and i love to sing and i really hope my mom says yes lol cant wait
aww why not new york 🙁
yes i want new york too. but i can’t believe it’s not there.
I would like to be a contestent this next season on American idol. I am 15 and I like to sing.
so i have been checking out the website and all that but i cant find any forms or whatnot to fill out,, when will they be posted? There has to be some type of form.
i love american idol lauren was my favorite but scotty was very good too my mom thinks he’s awesome,but he is my age i tryed out in Nashville didn’t make it but i still love ya’ll my mom took it kinda hard but it help me no my right and wrongs. love b-rad
I love american idol I try in Nashville TN it was not my time but American idol made the right choice with lauren and scotty. love bradley James
My dream has always been to perform on american idol.But i don’t see any forms on how and to sign up.I’m seventeen and my brother is nineteen;and we’ve been singing a very long,long time and we enjoy it somuch.Hope that our dream for american idol comes true! Love Jasmine
This is getting kind of annoying. This will be the second year in a row that Idol skips Florida. i was so pumped to audition but now i’m just crushed i can’t again.
I agree I wanted to audition last year too and it’s unfair. I mean they make things so far away I wish they could go to every state or at least every other state and have a place closer.
A lot of people feel like that but they do what they can. They are doing auditions in sc. Its not that far away.
Soo where and how do you register, cause I’m soo doing this(:
Do we register online?
No. You register at the events listed.
I’m very excited about this audition…I’ve already put all my insecurities behind me and I’m ready to be thee fierce…so watch out America…here Amanda comes…
Ive auditioned the last 4 years. What will happen when you register is they will have you fill out paperwork. You will be required to show photo ID and they will give you a wristband and number. If you lose your wristband you CAN NOT get into the venue. On the day of the audition, they will have the forms you need to fill out. They say there is only a limited number, but i’ve never not gotten one… they will probably put the form up online the night before the actual audition. SO if you’re staying out of town, make sure you can print one off somewhere… but like I said, they always have extras! Good luck!
So I just turned 29 June 14th. Too late to try out?
If you are older than the age limit…
Thanks this was a lot of help! I hope I make it in charleston!!!
You’re very welcome. Best of luck!
How do you know what time registration starts each day??
I would guess 8AM since that’s a pretty standard start-of-business time, but would it hurt to get there early and be ready when they open if it’s later than 8AM?
Ever since I was little , I’ve always wanted to try out for American Idol . I have been singing my whole life , ever since I knew how to talk to say the least . I’ve taught myself everything about music and some from my choir teacher as well . I take constructive criticism very well as I’ve had it over the years . Some brutal , some helpful . I turned 16 on June 14 and knowing that I’m going to get this chance is overwhelming to me . I think I’m ready and I’m counting down the days ! And good luck everyone who is trying out ! I’ll see some of you in Pittsburgh ! 😀 <3
Much love , Kaytee . <3
I have always wanted to audition, but they never did it in Portland. Now look! I can drive 10 minutes to my audition, thank you world!!!!!! I am doing this no matter what my parents say 🙂 Onto 18, perfect time to do it!
Well, I’m fourteen right now, but where I’m going to audition is 2 months before I turn fifteen! Is it okay if I still go? Because I really really want to go, since I didn’t make America’s Got Talent, I want to be on an all singing show! Please tell me yes! Thank you
No, it is not okay. If the age requirement is 15 and you’re not 15 then why would it be okay?
Spend the next year training and preparing and then audition when you’re eligible.
Hey how do I find the forms?? I really want to do this and i can’t seem to find the forms anywhere?! :^/
I have not seen any forms yet. If FOX doesn’t put them out in the next few days then you can pick them up at registration up to two days before auditions.
Im not sure if i want to audition or not, im just not sure its the right way for me as an artist to go. But if i do i know ill get some feed back i can work with. WHat do you think?
Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind.
Im gonna try out in denver if i can make the trip from minnesota work! wish me luck!
Georgia is not up there but south carolina is close enough! I hope to be there yayyyy
I am flying to houston to audition, but I wont get there until the 2nd day of registration…is this too late to register??? Or do I need to be there the first day??
If there are 2 days available for registration then why would the second day of those 2 days be too late?
So the website says that houstons tryout are in august but the television ad I just saw said its in june two days from now. Im having some confusion here.
The article above says August 26th for Houston. The American Idol websites says August 26th for Houston. The registration information linked above from Idol says August 26th for Houston.
It’s August 26th for Houston. I promise.
Auditions start in St. Louis on June 28th. Maybe you misunderstood the commercial.
I am 21 years old and have been dying to try out for american idol my whole life. Live in boston, and you guys never have auditions near me I cant get to any!
I would to start off with I am so excited for this season to begin, I have always dreamed of auditioning for american idol since the first season came out. Now I feel bold and ready enough to do so. I have a couple of questions, one is what is the time of the auditions held in san diego. Another is is there any paper work needed to be filled out before the audition, or do I take my paper work with me as I go to the audition? Thankyou, hope to hear a response soon. (:
the forms are on the website! all you do is print them off then fill them out and bring them to your registration. there is also a list provided which recommends things you should bring with you and a guide on what to wear! good luck see ya at the top xoxo
When I was reading the questions for registration and stuff I noticed a part where it said that after the 1st and 2nd set of auditions it may take a few days to get to the 3rd round of auditions and im wondering how long I need to rent a room for? Do you have an estimate.
That’s a good question. Sorry but I haven’t heard any details on that. Most hotels should let you extend your stay though on short notice once you’ve checked in for the initial stay.
hi my name is Dylan and i am auditioning for the
August 26, 2011 – Houston, TX – Reliant Park audition and i was wondering how do i register like when i get there or what and i want to know what time do i need to be there in houston tx at reliant park and what time does it start
Scroll back up and download the audition documents which includes ALL the answers to the questions you’re asking without researching.
ok, so i want to audition this year does it matter if im 14 at the auditions but would be 15 when the show comes on tv?
Do not go to the auditions if you are 14 years old. You would be wasting your time.
Read the requirements document above. You must be 15 years old starting yesterday to be eligible to even show up for auditions.
Im going to won this because ive been singinh since I was six so all youeople the are trying out better watch out see you all later
trying out for the first time this year. how many audition processes are there and how many songs should i be prepared to sing? also, is there a list of songs we’re aloud to sing? any answeres would be awesome. thank you!
You should have at least three songs. There is not a list of songs sing what ever song fits you best. And all songs are acapella unless you play an instrument, so find a song that you dont really need a beat or rythm but make sure you can keep you rythm in your voice:D
I HAVE A QUSTION how do you enter americas got talent please respond back thanks,
I can’t wait to audition this season. I know i have stage freight, but I have enough time to get rid of it… Wish me luck guys.. I’m so happy.
hey i know all the times to be ther for the auditions but what is the process once you get there. how many “rounds” till the main judges see you sing? thanks anything helps. we all want to be prepared.
I’m actually interested in knowing whether they are coming to ny this yr or are they actually gonna leave out the city that never sleeps ?
Hi. I’m auditioning this year and I wanted to know was there an age limit to the person we could bring? I wanted to bring my little 11 year old sister because she’s so excited for me, but can she accompany me at 11??
There is an age limit no children 5 years or younger. You are only aloud to bring one person. and if you are 18 tears or younger you HAVE to be accompany you. So if you are then yes she can accompany you:D
These details are also included in the documents linked above. Be sure to review those so you can find all the answers you need.
I am very excited to try out this year in South Carolina! I live in the small town of Whaleyville, MD. So its going to be a long haul to get there. Howver, I’m still comming to give it a shot!
they will never come to mobile
I am from Juneau Alaska and I am going to tryout for American idol and itsgonna be fun!! cant wait!! 😀

Hey, my name is Lyric and I was wondering I’m, turning 15 in october so would I still be able to audsition for this season or not?
Hey, I’m just wondering if they are going to have any auditions closer to Georgia, like in Atlanta or something?
Hi,
im auditioning this year in San Diego and i know its coming up fast for me…. i know we have to sing three songs…. but my question is do we have to sing the whole thing? or just part of it for each?
Iam going I cant wait
okay soo i turn 15 july 31 &i would be 15 when audtions are in houston texas .
im wondering if i can go to them .?
i believe there is a certain date on the forms that says you must be 15 by “certain date” to be able to participate.
you would have to be 15 ON june 26, so no you would not be able to try out. sorry better luck next year.
I am from NY, but I’m going to Pittsburh to audition. So if I register on the 13th in Pittsburgh, is the first audition with the 1st set of judges on the 15th? If so, how long after is the 2nd audition? And how long do you think I will be in Pittsburgh?

Yes, you will be able to, but this will be the last chance unless they raise the limit…
So, if my daughter registers on the 28th there’s a possibility she may not get a chance to audition? Who is she auditioning for on the 29th? The celebrity panel or a panel of other judges?

Will auditioners need to bring a head shot or other photo? Black & white, color? Sorry, read EVERYTHING and didn’t see that this was covered.

I’m under the age of 15. Would I still be allowed to audition?
Review the audition rules as linked above for your answer:

I an a native of Boston, MA. I watch american idol. But it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because I know I have what it takes to take music back to where it began. To and from the soul. I am a singer/songwriter strugling to stay out of the game. The streets lied to me. I learned the art of hiphop/realgangstarapp leaving my songwriting dormant. Only to learn that the exsperiance’s I went through only made me a better song writer. Please if any one knows how I can get an addition for Idea please hit me up on facebook or call me. This is most likely my last chance. I will be glad to sing one of my songs do to be released off our independant label.
no new jersey auditions?
New Jersey is not listed above in the audition events list.
did the cancel the one for new jersey aug.3?????? im from delaware and need something close!
I never saw anything listed for New Jersey. I’ve rechecked the official audition listings and NJ is not on it.
My brother-in-law just auditioned in Charleston but, got cut in the first round. He is really good. We have vids of him on you tube under Andrew Vonte. Please go listen and comment. I dont think he should have been cut.
Don’t waste your time trying out they are not picking any country singers. It dosen’t seem to matter how good you are either. I met a girl in line for the first auditions. She has one of the best voices in line but, she auditioned with a country song and they told her they were not looking for a country singer! Tell us that in the beginning so we don’t waste our time and money! It’s your show you can do what ever you want. But, be a little more forthcoming.
When are you guys coming to New Jersey for this year’s auditions?
They’re not. Read the audition list above.
Dear American Idol,
Ok hi I’m 11. I will be 12 in January. 🙂 I love to sing and I know that I’m good not to be conceited or anything but I have heard myself sing and I have been told so. But here’s the thing I live in Alaska close to Anchorage but I doubt AI will come here. Secondly you have to be 15 but if young people can be amazing then why not let them perform? That isn’t fair. All I ask is to give us youngsters a chance and I would love it if you guys came to Anchorage next summer!! 😀
thats a relly messed up! us young people cant join the auditions!
I agree with Kaylee, not letting younger people audition is totally unfair and that should be change.
i thought that when i was your age but i think that they put it there because its really hard to be younger and standing in lines for hours on end and possibly getting rejected. I’m not saying you’re not ready for that or anything. It’s also because they want people who have perfected their voice and arent too shy too sing in front of millions of people. Again, im not saying that youwouldn’t be ready. Just think about it from their point of view.
Good Afternoon. I was wondering if the East Rutherford was having auditions this year?
My daughter and I are hoping to go to the American Idol auditions in Houston at the end of the month. I have a real concern with the fact that they will not be allowing participants to bring in their own water bottles. It is my understanding that The auditioning process is a horrendous one, and the only way to keep hydrated, is to purchase outrageously priced beverages (including water) from the vendor. I am indeed a capitalist, but this is not only cruel, but should be illegal as well.
Even if the auditions were held at a private venue, I can’t imagine what kind of people would ban water bottles, just to make more money.
Somebody PLEASE remedy this situation. Especially in light of the drought Texas is in, it seems unconscionable to probit people from bringing in their own water. Evidently the shows produces have no conscience, so I implore you to please use yours.
Are they doing auditions online this year asd well?
I haven’t seen anything about that. I guess they’re not going to do it this year.
iam zorana soldat. iam 14 .
i love singing !
I think i will me come at audition 2012 !
😀
im 14 and gonna do the same thing. Maybe if we both make it we could be friends cause were gonna be to of the youngest people there
More good things come out of Nebraska, besides corn.
Maybe you could hold auditions here, or something. =/
You’re missing out on a ton of talent.
1. I have the same name as you its just spelled diffrent.
2. I feel the same way about Ohio. There reason for not coming here is because we have one of the best football teams and they think that we take stuff for granted and they wont come here. I dont get it they should go to every state not just a few states here and there. Theres state that are between the states that they go to and they just fly over them. But i agree
No auditions in Boston?! Next year I’m hoping to audition, but there needs to be a closer audition destination to people in New England.
I want to audition for the next american idol sason!! Where’s the nearest city they r coming to near me? I live near evansville indiana!
Scroll up and read the list of cities.
Everyone watch for my beautiful niece who’s 15. She sounds so awesome and her name is….Megan Vandervest, she has songs on you Tube.
Wow! She really is good. I just watched her do angel by sarah mclachlan. I am also 15, I wanted to try out this year in Portland, but I missed the date.
I hope someone answers this message-I’m in the northeast region (southern Vt) and if I’m not mistaken the only auditions left are in Texas! Is there any audition left in my part of the U.S. this year that weren’t posted here? I’d really like a chance to try but the airfare is so out of budget for me…is anyone driving there who’d consider bringing a vermonter gal along? I’m really a whole lot of fun on a car ride…Hope I’m not outta luck here…
I wish the auditions would come closer to Indiana. I have been wanting to Audition since I was 16 I am almost 21 now, and I still would love to be apart of the experience. I have been singing ever since I can remember. Singing is my life. I want to be able to make it my career and would do anything to attain my dream. In saying this, it would definitely be lovely if the auditions would come closer to Indiana. There are tons of people here that would love to audition, who are amazingly talented. Thanks!
I was wondering, if you make it passed the 1st audition, and they say you are going to Hollywood, do you have to pay your own way? And if so, what about a parent of a minor?
Thanks
What time is registration on the 24th and 25th in houston,texas?!
Read the audition documents linked above.
Does anyone know what the younger contestants do about school if they make it to Hollywood?
Is there an audition planned for Indianapolis or somewhere near this year? If so, please let me know! I’ve been building up the guts to audition for 3 years now!
Scroll up for the list of audition cities.

Hello guys, how i can send my video to American idol ? i got video for me and i want try out in american idol 2012 please send me mail to my email if you can really exsited 🙂
Id love to try out for idol, any idea when their coming to west Va?
My daughter was not permitted to audition today in Houston after we registered two days in advance, arrived at 5:00am this morning and spent our entire day hoping she would get a shot at being the next American Idol.
She has been waiting for this day since she first watched Season 1 of Idol at only 5 years old. She turned 16 in March and literally counted down the days til auditions. We live in Houston, so were excited to have Idol return to our city after an unsuccessful Season 3.
My daughter has made it a priority to have that “wow factor” or star quality that all past American Idol winners possess She’s beautiful with bright blue eyes, deep dimples, a very witty personality, extremely teachable and maintains that “burning” desire to be mentored by the qualified and exceptional staff that American Idol potentials get to learn from. She is daily compared to Lauren Alaina (she looks and acts just like her), but really, she has a Linda Ronstandt sound that is unique and amazing. She chose a great song from the early 80’s that everyone has heard of but nobody would be singing at auditions today, which would have probably been a nice change for the producers to hear, instead of that worn out song “Rolling in the Deep” that most contestants performed.
When our section was finally called today, I reached in my bag to pull out the folder containing all the required paper work and legal documents she needed for her audition and panicked after realizing that the folder was gone and so was my wallet. I did leave my bag in our assigned seats a few times while I went into the concession area to practice my daughters song with her (several contestants would stop and listen to her sing and a few wanted to take pictures with her because they thought she’d be on this season of Idol), but my bag was under a pillow and I had no reason to believe that any of the nice people we sat by would take anything out of it. I must have checked my bag a hundred times this morning, making sure that all the documents were inside and even purchased a t-shirt at the venue with my credit card that was in my wallet. It was gone and when I tried to explain it to the gentleman who stood over us with the fog horn, instructing our row to stand up and make our way to the floor, he said “your daughter will not be able to audition this season, since this is the last city and day of auditions and the producers will make no exceptions whatsoever to the forms of i.d and birth certificate required to audition. Two days earlier I provided all that information when we picked up the wrist bands we were wearing and held the tickets to audition in our hand, but now I had no identification, credit cards, cash and my daughter’s birth certificate, student i.d and social security card were all gone…but the hardest part of it all was seeing my little girl stand there with tears rolling down her cheeks, knowing all the hard work she put into auditioning was for nothing. She missed 2 days of school at a campus she just started attending this past Monday, I did not meet deadliness for my very demanding career, my husband postponed a cervical spine related surgery that was scheduled for today and we withdrew funds from our savings account in order to invest in extensive vocal lessons for a month to get our daughter prepared for the audition. We spared no expense at purchasing the perfect dress she was excited to wear (with her cowgirl boots of course)to the auditions today and she had to walk out of that stadium without having a chance to sing for the producers at all. She spoke no word the drive home and immediately went to her room, through her beautiful dress on the floor and cried herself to sleep.
I know some contestants don’t take the audition serious, and others are looking for 5 minutes of fame by acting like a fool on television, but my daughter was on cloud nine and would have made such a great impression on the producers, I am sure of that. Instead, she was punished basically for someone stealing our personal possessions.
As we exited the stadium, we were given one last ray of hope. A staff member informed us that tomorrow (Saturday, August 27) there would be “last call auditions” in Dallas and I could register my daughter with copies of her government issued i.d’s that are in my employment files. Unfortunately I can not find any information anywhere on additional or “last call” audition dates/cities. If there is going to be an audition tomorrow or any other day in any city, PLEASE let me know. I can’t stand to see my little girl disappointed, especially if it was not her fault.
Thanks,
Brandi Wright
I was at the Houston auditions with my 15 year old daughter. My experience was that the largest majority of people WERE taking the auditions seriously, and were amazingly talented (my daughter included). We were warned over and over again to not loose our tickets….and our personal items never left our hands. We all knew the rules and consequences of not following those rules. My daughter didn’t make it through, but after a sad moment, was determined to try again next year. Rather than looking to place blame or look for excuses, I was supportive of the audition process. My daughter knows she is talented, but also realizes that it is basically a crap shoot. Our kids are young, and rather than wallowing in what could (should?) have happened, you ought to pick up the dress, shrug, and encourage your daughter to keep plugging away.
I’m glad you and your daughter had the experience you had with the auditions, and I’m sure she did great and is talented. In all due respect, I find overly opinionated people to be really annoying and didn’t appreciate your comments!!
First of all, I didn’t say that there weren’t talented contestants, there were many great singers and I was overwhelmed with the talent that was shown. All that I said was that “SOME” didn’t take it serious and were looking for their 5 minutes of fame….am I wrong? Did you happen to see the guy walking around all day long in a purple leotard from head to toe?
As far as losing our important documents and being disqualified…I wasn’t blaming anyone or making excuses, I was just expressing my disappointment for being irresponsible in leaving my bag at our seats, and blamed myself for my daughter being disqualified! Yeah, I was aware of the “rules” and never said I wasn’t.
It is a “crap shoot”, but every year someone does win. I was only disappointed that she didn’t get to try out. Had she tried out like your daughter and didn’t get picked that would have one thing, but she didn’t and I had the guilt for that…I’m the mom, and should have kept all her possessions with me at all times. Once the sadness wore off and reality set in, my daughter did say “oh well, I’m only 16 and everything happens for a reason” She continued to say “next year, I know what to expect and will be better prepared”. It was awesome to be apart of the audition process and get a glimpse as to what happens behind the scenes.
Seriously though, if you don’t like my comments about my own experience with the auditions, keep your thoughts to yourself. I don’t need to be chastised or have my comments debated. Your entitled to your opinion and I’m entitled to mine.
If anyone does know of any last call auditions, please let me know…I’m not a stage mom by no means, maybe I said too much in the initial comment I left, but I was really just trying to find out if anyone had any information on additional auditions for Season 11. I’m sure that many other hopefuls that didn’t get to try out for this season (like my daughter) would like to know this information!
Does anyone know of any additional auditions for Season 11 or was that it in Houston?
WHOA !! my bad…. yeah, saw the “purple guy”, and thought he was a good source of tension release.
Houston’s it…..Let’s both shoot for next year.
Purple man is my son and he too has an amazing voice, we had a blast as did 99.999% of all others we encountered that day…nothing should ever be taken too seriously in life. Last year, they told my son he had a great voice, but not the look. He just wanted to make this audition fun and enjoyable and I believe he did just that!!
Yes, your son did just that !! He was some much needed comic release for MOST of us….I am sure he sings well too. Tell him not to give up, and we’ll watch for him next year (as well on the Houston show on T.V.)
Haha that me! I did have a blast at the auditions and can wait for next year! Fun fun fun!
i love american idol,
can i coming to american idol i singing the song

Oh man ! I missed the auditions ! But, that means i have more time to practice for 2013 !
way to stay positive!!! hope to see you there!
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME IF THEY HOLD AUDITIONS PAST THE LAST DATE POSTED…IF SO, WRITE ME BACK WITH THE INFO AND LOCATION.. THANKS!
Nope. Auditions for next season are now over.
So, I am only 14 years old turning 15 in June. I have been told I have an AMAZING voice, not only by my chorus teacher but also by many of my peers too. I was just wondering, do you guys come close to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Could you please e-mail me your answer. Thank you 🙂
You should please come to Washington D.C! Visit the nation’s capital and come here the talent here!

How bout u guys come to Alabama… You haven’t came since season 8.. PLEASE!!!! 🙂
These little 12 and 13 year olds need to shut up. you need to wait until you’re 15 like the rest of us, actually most of us needed to wait until we were 16.. so shut up. thanks.
Um, excuse me. these kids wanna persue there dreams! dont influence them by telling them they cant! STOP SAYING SHUT UP, THEY PROBABLY HAVE MORE TALENT THAN U!
Yeah! You really don’t need to be telling people to shut up, because what if you were 12 and you posted on here wanting to audition and people kept telling you to shut up? you wouldn’t like it would you? You need to learn to be nice to others.
wow, while i totally agree with you, i’m 17 you need to stop breaking the hearts of clueless preteens! ouch!

Loud and Proud on American Built Iron -Smack Dab on center Stage! American Idol Fans in the stadium and at Home would split their Slpeens in Apprectiation! Check me out on Fcebook, look for Dan theman.
respect! Ride Hard, Ride Free.

I am a huge fan of American Idol, I have been trying for the past three years to get on the show so that my voice could be heard, I hope that you guys are in Washington DC since I live in West Virginia. I hope to see you this summer for auditions because I believe that I am capable of being who I want to be, I know that there will be challenges ahead but am ready for it. I am going to post a video on youtube later on this week and will put the url on here for all to see. Thanks for your time and GOD bless
I have been a huge fan of American Idol since the first season. I have always wanted to audition for the show but was never able to make it to any of the auditions in the past. This summer I am hoping to be able to audition for the show. I would love for my voice to be heard because I believe that I would bring something different to the table. Thank You all for your time and God Bless 🙂

Hey, My name is Nathan Thompson, I have just recently gave thought to Trying out for American Idol, I am 17 years old, a Musician, I love Singing, And I love preforming in front of others. If anyone wants they can check me out on youtube. My username is NathanThompsonMusic — also have some Vids on my other account — 79FoxBodyMustang, tell me if you think I should try out, I was really disappointed when I read that the X Factor came to ST. Louis Missouri, because thats 4 hours away from me, I live in Kansas City, Kansas sadly, so theres really no way for me to get my music out there, know what I mean? Well… American Idol, you should come to Kansas because like everyone else on here, I have had a rough life and I also just want to Fulfill my dreams. Thank you and have a nice day!

I want to know why they sent Travis home, he deserved a better shot!
What on the earth has American Idol turned into for 2012. Thats not entertainment I just watched on thursday Feb 9th 2012. Somebody needs to acquire some organization. Why would they change things up to such an extent it was great as it was. Now its just a disorganized mess. I won’t be watching if its not better next week. Shirl
i really think they should host auditions in indianapolis some of us indiana people have talent also!!!!!!
When is the next time they will be in ohio? Im very nervous about singing infront of people I dont know but I feel im missing out because everyone tells me I have a beautiful voice.
This season sucks! Really who voted for half of these people…their families! Who on earth would buy a Cd from Heejun or Jermaine. Jessica, yeah right is everyone being nice to her because shes so young. The judges were drunk or something when they picked their wild card slots……. Really Erica and Jeremy…really. This year has really went down the drain.
im really good at singing but i need help signing up though
Can I have the register forms sent to me by mail.
Hey, can’t vote for Phil Phillips. His number goes someplace else and Face Book is down. Not fair to him. Susan
I don’t know if I should audition or not………
How do I try out for American Idol in 2013?
i want to audition for 2013 I’m not sure how this really works????? any ideas!
hi im alexis and its always been a big dream of mine to be on american idol. i have tried other applications to singing shows but you have to be 18 years or older for the other ones and im only 12.i personally think that the age limits should be lower but thats just me i geuss…
I want Simon to come back he told it like it was and knew talent when he heard it!
Is it coming to Atlanta this year?
I WISH THAT THEY COULD COME CLOSE TO MONROE, LOUISIANA AT LEAST THEY AN HAVE IT AT THE CIVIC CENTER AND TRUST I CAN SING MY BUTT OFF SO I WOULD BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant we have Jimmy Iovine as a judge and can they all stop standing up for Joshua trying to influence the voting – it is pathetic
Skyle you were fantastic tonight.Good luck.
great talent tonight.
My husband is 43 years old is he to old to audition on american idol
does anybody know when american idol is coming to detroit michigan yet? I am turning eighteen in august and my cousin just got
me out of my shell from singing in front of people and i know im ready. everybody tells me im amazing and i know i can do this,

on facebook and youtube. My name is Marissa McGraw, my name on youtube is marissamcgrawxo. please go on and subscribe my
channel and get my name out there, i know i can do this!!!!!! i have a really good feeling : )
I really want to be on here but I am not sure if I will be good!? What should I do?
best to the youg girl singer but 1 or 2 good songs out of past 8 means still a few years away. Adult aged songs are tough…should be out of bounds for under 18s…Sorry. What are the odds removed at 7 or 8 with such poor showings to remain or get to this spot…ZERO. A i how do you spell doop dupe duped dooopt dupt…
What are the best kind of songs that would be good to sing for a 16 year old girl??
