“American Idol” is a show that lets singers compete to be the best singer in the country! The show holds auditions all over the U.S. and week after week narrows down the contestants until, eventually, with America’s votes and the help of a group of judges, an American Idol is crowned. The show’s contestants are all between 15-28 years old and compete for the opportunity to expose their talent to national audiences and, also, potentially win a recording contract!
