Does every audition air on TV?

Not every audition will make it on television.

This is because there is not enough TV time to allow for all of the contestants to be featured on the show.

Those who make it through to the next round without appearing on television do face the disadvantage of lacking the exposure needed to help build up a fan base for votes later in the season.

When do contestants rehearse?

Unfortunately, contestants on American Idol do not get to relax on the weekends.

Saturdays and Sundays tend to be even busier than the weekdays, as contestants are required to do intense rehearsals.

In addition to the weekend rehearsals and sessions with vocal coaches, contestants still do three rehearsals on the day they are slated to perform.

Who is Sam Moss?

After getting turned down by the judges in Austin, Texas, Sam Moss decided it was time to redeem herself.

“I walked away feeling pretty disappointed in myself,” she said when reflecting on her first audition.

“Thank God you got so much better in such short amount of time,” said Luke Bryan. “Whatever I said in Austin, I take back.”

Who is Jacob Moran?

Jacob Moran is a nurse from East Lansing, Michigan.

He auditioned for the show in 2019 and was sent through to the next round.
