How to Have a Successful American Idol Audition

A few words of advice: if you’re going to audition for A.I., please don’t sing the hits of Beyonce, Alicia Keyes or Whitney Houston if you are a male. I don’t care if they are your favorite divas, there’s something inherently weird about a guy singing diva songs.

But if you insist on going down the Dreamgirls path, dress the part, so that even if you don’t make it to Hollywood, you make it to television.

That is advice that you can take to the bank, but if you’d like the advice of people who actually know something, get a few hints from Jordan Sparks, Jon Peter Lewis, Ace Young and other past Idol contestants.
