Every year thousands of people from all around the country rush out to audition for American Idol.
Watching from the failures of other idols it is really easy to see how quickly someone can slip into fame, The results are intended to provide the opportunity for everyone in the country to vote for the contestant that they feel is best for the title of American Idol. or how easily they can disappear from the spotlight. What actually occurs usually resembles more of a piranha attacking everyone and much less similar to a good friendly conversation or contest. Making sure they make a fabulous impression on the world in terms of record sales is much harder than anyone ever imagined, In order to actually win the competition it is very important to learn how to truly make a great impression,While you may have never stopped and thought about it, not just on the judges but also on the viewers as well. there are some rather stark differences between the careers of many of the previous winners for American Idol.
For the majority of contestants it is not always a huge deal to be let down towards the end. Most people start out trying to truly be the best singer that they can be, Only a single contestant can actually win the show, but somewhere along the line a few of the American Idols have somehow moved far off the straight path and ended up somewhere between oblivion and barely known. so coming in 4th place is often good enough. Yet at the same time, However, there are a few American Idol winners who have gone on to create truly powerful careers that have launched them into the true success that the show was originally intended for. if you are determined that you want to go further than ever before,
Each year there are thousands of people all around the country who audition for the show. and you really want to win it is critical that you take some time to really learn how to win. Each year there is only a single winner selected at the very end, Once you have a few key issues in place you will be well on your way to the number one finish that you want so badly, but this is not and has never been a true indicator of the success that the winner will find after the show is over. without losing track of what is important. For example,
Your first and utmost important tip is to always ensure that you are memorable. how many people really hear about Taylor Hicks, Have you ever watched the show and seen performances only to forget them a few minutes later? You no doubt have seen several performers like this, Ruben Studdard or even Fantasia? The sad reality is that all of these singers start out searching for success, and if you are out to win, but somewhere along the line, you do not want to be this performer. they have moved far away from the success that they dreamed about. This does not mean that you need to rush out and dye your hair hot pink,
It is extremely important to remember that anytime you are working to build a career that you have to work at it, wear huge sunglasses and sing with a strange voice. and several of the former American Idols have forgotten this very important consideration. Rather it does mean you need to connect to the audience, Several American Idols have gone onto create truly amazing careers, make them interested in you and what you are singing. after all how many people have not heard of Carrie Underwood? While Carrie Underwood certainly leads the pack in terms of success, If you simply walk out, it is certainly not the only contestant who has found success. look terrified and sing for a few minutes you will be quickly forgotten. Other winners of American Idol such as Kelly Clarkson have also found a great deal of success in the show, If you come out with a song you love, and after the show. and have a lot of fun you will make a much better impression on the audience and be a lot easier to remember.
Looking over all of the actual contestants and their careers it has appeared that there are some who find greater success ending the show as the runner up,
While we are talking about impressions, rather than as the actual winner of the show. keep in mind the way you look is a huge influence on the audience. For example, If you go for the Sanjaya look with a huge pony hawk, Katharine McPhee has found more success in the media while Taylor Hicks has started slipping further into darkness. you are not likely to be taken serious as a performer. This is just another example of some of the earlier castoffs doing much better than the winner. Rather you are likely to be considered the joke of the show.
Overall the absolute best person to emerge from the show was Chris Daughtry, If you want to be taken serious, while his time on the show was special, you need to have fun with it, his time since the show has been an even greater success. without seeming like the class clown trying to sing. With the creation of the band Daughtry where he is the lead singer, This is extremely important because far too many contestants move from having fun to looking clownish with their performances. he has enjoyed the benefit of selling over 3.
A final suggestion is to watch the ballad songs.2 million copies of the debut album. Yes they are beautiful and can be extremely popular, Additional honors that were passed on is the usage of a Daughtry song as the closing song each week for Season 6 when a contestant was sent home. but the slow tempo of the song also makes it much easier to be forgotten the moment you walk off stage.
All across the various seasons there have been several contestants who have gone on to create albums and find some level of commercial success. If people are watching recaps of the show and cannot remember what you sang, Josh Gracin the former marine from season 2, then it is certainly time to rethink your song choices. as well as Jennifer Hudson from season 3, You need a song that will connect the audience and get them moving. Kellie Pickler from season 5 who has found success in country music. An audience that is moving while you sing is much more likely to actually remember you, All of this points heavily towards the success of the American Idol is not simply based upon their actual success after the show. rather than the soft soulful ballad that they forgot about almost immediately after you were finished singing. but rather how heavily they try to actually pursue a successful music career.
