American Idol Survival Guide

Amer­ican Idol super­star­dom is upon you. Your dream of becom­ing a pop star is within reach. You brought your A-Game to the group elim­in­a­tions and blew the com­pet­i­tion away dur­ing the top 24 weeks. Your tal­ents are about to be show­cased in front of mil­lions. This is your time.

You don’t have to win to make it big. In fact, win­ning is not always a good thing. All you need is enough time in the spot­light to jump­start your career. This will be a hard task as you’re bat­tling not only the other con­test­ants and try­ing to impress the judges, but also the pro­du­cers who decide how you are going to be per­ceived by the mil­lions watch­ing on their tele­vi­sion sets. This is a com­pet­i­tion in itself. One you must win.

How­ever, if you fol­low the Amer­ican Idol Sur­vival Guide you will stay alive long enough to land that big record deal.

1. If You’ve Got It, Flaunt It

For girls, this means tread­ing the fine line between sexy and trashy. Looks can­not over­shadow your voice. Guys, cute eyes are a must, but do not give an inor­din­ate amount of atten­tion to your hair.

2. Be Pre­pared to Sing Out­side of Your Genre

As unreas­on­able as this request is (do you think Billy Joel is ever made to sing Brit­ney Spears?) if you’re going to sur­vive you must be versatile.

3. Pay Atten­tion to Per­form­ance Order

If they put you in the middle, you’re in trouble. And if they put you at the begin­ning, you’re chances of elim­in­a­tion are 50% higher. In large groups, human memory has a nat­ural bias against places that fol­low a mul­tiple of three (i.e., the fourth and sev­enth spots). This is of sig­ni­fic­ance fol­low­ing an espe­cially strong performance.

4.The Pimp Spot

Do any­thing in your power to get it. You’re in show­biz now. Find the pro­du­cer respons­ible for the per­form­ance order and make it happen.

5. Pay Atten­tion to the Judge’s Comments

And then ignore them. Unless it is some­thing you truly know to be accur­ate, they are try­ing to manip­u­late you and boost ratings.

6. Request Input to Light­ing Set-Up

A simple blue light for the dur­a­tion of a per­form­ance will kill you. While a thou­sand light changes amp­li­fies your per­form­ance and can cover for the occa­sional error.

Now there are no more excuses. It is now time to show Amer­ica what you are made of. You’ve got the looks, the voice, and now the strategy to become our next singing super­star. Now the ques­tion is, how long will you last…
