I think you have to be at least 16, because that Lisa Tucker girl was 16, and she got picked this season but she's not on there anymore, so i think 16.good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An American Idol theme can be pretty fun.  Have 3 people lined up to be your judges, (Randy, Paula & Simon) and all the kids have a kareoke competition.  We had one for my 10 yr old daughter, and it was hilarious!  We bought the official American Idol B-day kit complete with balloons, streamers, place settings, paper plates and forks, and official "CONTESTANT" signs for everyone to wear.

Well if you live in a big city, or near one, you can go to certain agencys. Or you can try to get really involved in your singing, and do a lot with it. Someone is going to notice if you are really that good.(I am sure you are) That or enter in different contests. Talk to your friends see if they know anyone. Use your connections. *Did you know you are only 5 people away or less from knowing someone famous. \nYou would be surprised. Hope it works out for you.

Kat has a wonderful voice, but she was inconsistant in her vocals. She is only 21, gorgeous, and will have a great career. Don't be mad about it. I love Taylor's voice, attitude, and style. I think he deserved it.

I love American Idol (even though I'm from the older generation - 52) and have watched it since the firt American Idol.  I love watching the people who think they can sing, but can't, but have to give them kudos for having the guts to get up in front of the judges and television, with millions of people watching and take a beating like they do.  But I love Idol most for the seriously talented young people that you see once in a while that get the chance to be successful in music when you see that they do have the talent and ambition but left on their own, they would have much less chance of "being discovered".  I think the show is great for helping serious artists looking for a break.

Absolutely i have been singign for 10 yrs and i still struggle with wantnig to soudn liek me and not liek someone else, im a singer not an impersonator. The best advice i can give you is to not think just feel sometimes we are not far enough removed frmo our own stuff that we fail to see how individual our creativness is, gte some other ppls opinions u mith be surprised.and lastly play from your heart and soul u can never go wrong find yrou strong points muscially and develope yoru style around them and dont forget to add yor own little quirks like a breaknig in yrou voice if u sing these little things may seem liek imperfections but they can somtemis be detrimental to yrou style. Cheers and good luck with it.

If you are really good, try out for American Idol.\n\nEven the ones that don't make it to the top are becoming successful.\n\nMost important thing is to SMILE and really be friendly.  A frown turns everyone off!

My singing is terrible, but for 50,000, I sure would do it.  After all, look what happened to William Hung when he was not chosen for American Idol..he was not a very good singer but he became a cult favorite for a little while.

you feel that way maybe because you are not completly confident on how good you are a singing. evaluate yourself, if you think you sing pretty good, you dont have to be shy at all, so if everybody tells you that you sing very good, that's all you need to throw that shyness away and forget about it.
