Go to as many auditions and shows as possible. Get involved in regional choirs, school choirs, competitions, and just perform as much as possible. One day, you'll be discovered =] Good luck!

Sure, let it flow.\n\n   All you need do is the best you can. Judges may not choose you as best, but I doubt you'll endure any humiliation such as on AM IDOL. \n\n   If your passion is to sing, then please don't let minor rejections stop you from enjoying and/or sharing that passion. You know what you can do, let others know as well.\n\nRev. Steven

i totally contradict crimsonmoonvc's answer, u can get somewhere solo i mean look at the people on american idol and looks arent everything in bein famous. it depends on your talent. most famous stars started off small so thats where your gonna hav 2 start. just hope you can find somebody who will notice your talent

Chris Daughtry will probably win.\n\nParis........Cute as could be! Most of the time she sounds nasal just like Fantasia, and I couldn't stand to listen to Fantasia sing! Paris is sweet though, but picks songs that are too old for her age. Could be in the top 3.\n\nTaylor..........Interesting voice, but I don't see America picking him as the next idol. He twitches and squirms too much! He seems very nice though. I kinda like his gray hair!\n\nKatherine.........Fairly nice voice, but BAD song choices lately! She dresses strangely and is easily forgettable. Right after she finishes singing, I can't remember her performance. Not much personality.\n\nElliot..........Good voice, but I can't stand to watch him sing! He is also forgettable for me. Not much personality. I don't think America will pick him as the next American Idol.\n\n\nKellie........Not a bad voice, and I think she could end up in the top 3, but I don't think she will win. I doubt America will pick 2 country singers in a row. A lot of personality and she is cute.\n\n\nBucky.......Interesting voice, but I don't think he will win. His voice needs more work and so does his look. I like his personality, but I don't think it is the kind that will make him the next American Idol. \n\n\nAce........Mediocre voice.........some bad song choices. Adorable as all get out. Sexy in a sweet way. Not so much personality though. Could be in the top 3. But I don't think he will win. \n\nChris...........Great voice, great song choices, versatile, great personality, good looking in a "bad boy" sort of way. Definitely sexy! Has all the right stuff for being the next American Idol. \n\nIt's time for a male to win anyway. There have been more female winners than men. I am pretty sure Chris is going to take it all.

My guess is that the American Idol voting system was largely to blame.  Somebody calling for Chris couldn't do so if they line was busy.  This is probably the biggest flaw in the voting system and has probably been responsible on more than one occassion for the elimination of good singers.  Apparently if you're on Idol, you not only have to be a good singer, you have to hope that your fans can actually have a chance to vote :S.

Try to think of some other song when you see this guy...sing something different in your mind, something completely different...it maybe will take time, but with some training you'll go trough it!

American Idol's 5th season is now down to it's second to last week and only three finalists are left! On Tuesday, for the first time this season, the finalists will sing three songs each: one of their choice, one chosen by the Judges and one chosen by legendary music producer Clive Davis. Don't miss a note Tuesday, starting at 8/7c. Then, come back Wednesday for a special 1-hour results show, featuring Clive Davis, starting at 9/8c. Only on FOX!\n\nI was SHOCKED also!  I thought the final 2 would come down to Chris & Taylor.  In the hopes of Taylor winning, but Chris is very good also (much better than Elliott or Kat in my opinion.)  Although Im pulling for Taylor I could not believe he was voted off especially befor Elliott!

I was shocked as well. Extremely shocked, he was sooo good!!! You're right though, he'll still make make music, probably already has a record deal :) Who will I vote for now? NO ONE. My faith in American Idol has died.

You're best bet is to get a microphone and a recorder/recording software. Record yourself and fix what you know sounds bad. \n\nBut even before that, get yourself a teacher.Nothing helps more than having an experienced vocal teacher guide you through the steps, and practice your ass off. It sounds like you want to be a "superstar", and the only advice is that you get good while your young, hollywood is not kind to those old and ugly.

Find out when the next American Idol tryout is going to be held in your area.  There is no bigger competition than that these days.

Don't worry. Calm down. There's still time for you to practice now. Practice in front of a mirror if you don't have someone to sing to. This could get you use to singing in front of a crowd. remember never ever give up when you're aftering your dreams. Never be afraid to step and challenge yourself to achieve something you want. You can do it!\n\nGod Almighty hates a quitter.\nSamuel Fesseden, 1847-1908, American lawyer, politician\n\nIt matters if you just don't give up.\nStephen Hawking 1942- , British theoretical physicist\n\nI am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.\nAbraham Lincoln, 1809-1865, 16th president of USA\n\nIt's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself.\nMuhammad Ali, 1942- , American boxer\n\nNever give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, never -- in nothing great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.\nWinston Churchill, 1874-1965, British stateman, Prime minister

if you know what a scale is then this is what you can do, it helps. start from any medium pitched note and sing it straight, as straight as possible and for as long as possible, then sing the next LOWER note the same way, then the next LOWER and the next and the next till you voice cant go any lower. then go back up to the note from where you started. So it will be like singing do ti la so fa mi... and then back up. do it for a month and see the difference. this works like hell.

WHAAAT? Chris left American idol? Geez, no. I am crazy bout that guy. he really has great talent. Am not one for hard core rock, but i have to give it to the guy, he really knows his stuff. Plus, he seems to be able to diversify if he puts his mind to it.\nHe shall be missed. But i guarantee we havent seen nor heard the last of him.
