Hello from the nose bleed section, by the time they called the second tier, they let only about 1 every hour or so thru, mostly guys. We sang at around 12:30 am on the 28th the judges were done -- nobody got thru by then and nobody got 30 seconds.

Oh man, that is SO rough. =( I'm so glad I got out of there by around 1:30.

Seeing first-hand how many phenomenal singers they didn't put thru (people who could outsing even Aretha-type classics) didn't make it such a hard pill to swallow when they sent over 15,000 of us home. Crazy day! My back hurts so bad today I can't bend over. I'm glad you caught this - thank you!

[dovelove]

Oh my gosh, I know. I auditioned with a friend, and she already has a CD out, and they didn't put her through. You could tell that they were looking for a certain type of person. No problem, I'm just hoping it doesn't get deleted!

I was in 222, batman got thro but not my talented friend 16 hours for nothing.

The Philadelphia auditions was the longest day of my life i was in about the last 100 people to audition and that was at like 10:45 that nite.... And I agree that there was so much talent there and very little on the first episode oh well it does suck that its all about the entertainment value.

[hactehbka813]

i agree... 2 days of 9 hour lines and some dragqueen with feathers gets on??? and people who can sing, including me get to watch?? i know it's entertainment, but people really do have hopes and dreams that they put out there to get crushed by the "producers"

[malcunes]

i'm still pissed about this..its a show but it is still not fair..I along with a bunch of other people should have gotten in..

[SweetTinkerbelle]

Since many people are watching and commenting this video that tryed out, I've got one thing to say.

I admire you for even having the courage to sing for them. Yeah, they put through a few bad people to go see the three judges for TV entertainment, to see people that suck big time make a fool of themselves. It's just for the TV audience, don't make anything out of it.

go on google and type in how to auditon for american idol...simple lol

[Mogwai47]

Haha! That must be Salotta Tee! I know that b!tch...

[locobraddah808]

I auditioned here to, i waited for 13 hours and didn't sing till about 7:00. They let so many crazy acts go through it was annoying. But it's a show and need to get ratings. I guess they must've found all the good talent they needed in the other cities, that's why it's good to audition in one of the earlier cities.

[DEBUTS1992]

omg..i wanna be on american idol so badly and i could sing!but i dont know how 2 get on the show-somebody please help me?

[martytx07]

Ugh, why did Ryan go to that pre audition...grrr. I didn't say anyone famous on the pre auditions. Only Kimberly Cadwell and that was for TV Guide. Second round I saw Nigel.....big woop. I didn't get the golden ticket to see the 3 judges :(
