Pls spare viewers the agony of sitting thru Paula Abdul and Cheryl Cole’s iritating babbling. Nobody can understand what they are saying. Why rehash the old IDOL, give us something fresh! Nicole Scherzinger is gorgeous, has star power, vocal chops n sense of humor. What more can producers ask for?

I’m currently registered to audition and I’m so excited!!!

I was just wondering though: will the auditions on these posted dates be in front of the filmed/huge audience, or are these preliminary auditions to weed the group down a bit first before the filming/judges arrive? Anyone know?

I know similar shows often have an un-filmed, pre-screening before the judges, to narrow down the number of contestants a bit but I wasn’t sure if that’s the case here or not? Just want to know what to expect!

At the Los Angeles auditions will there be any consideration or special arrangements for waiting in line for those who are disabled?

Hope this is the proper way to ask and how does one take advantage of any privileges.

Thank you.

Show up on the 26th, get a wrist band and ticket(for free) then show then ID and come back the next day to audition. There are first rounds in front of no-name producers, Idol has 4 rounds before the big judge audition so it will be something like that. Open means not closed.

I’v been waiting to tryout all year for this because i thought it was more about the total package then just singing. I am a singer song writer who plays the guitar an sings not just a singer. I have been playing local gigs for years an know i have what it takes but will not stand out nearly as much without my guitar can i play at least 1 song with the guitar during the audtion.?? Example; whats bret michels without his song writing skill an guitar, Answer just an average singer.

At first I thought my audition would be before 3-4 thousand people and a few judges, as stated in one of your first e-mails, which sounded great; and a real singer couldn’t be denied, with an audience there. But now the latest e-mail says just a judge will be there; looking for someone who will get a good laugh on your T.V. show.’ Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself’. Simon says ‘I’m a real singer’. Contact me when you get serious about it; or let me get up alongside one of your judges that sings; and I’ll blow him or her off the stage. (I don’t think I’ll hear from you; but I really wish you’d take me up on my offer.) Phil

My question? May we select any 3 three songs to sing at the audition
PICK YOUR SONGS.

Choose a verse and chorus from three different songs to sing without backing music – just vocals. You may not get to perform all three, but be prepared just in case! This isn’t the time to go with obvious choices. Pick songs that are unique to your personal talents and highlight what it is that you do best.

I’m soooooo Ready….

does the american x factor feel that the situation regarding cheryl coles participation in this years x factor will not be good for the show.i cant help think that by rejecting her as a judge after cosecutive wins and a finalist in the british x factor will in affect make the show look as though it feels that outsiders do not have any significant input
also it looks like the girl is being punished for some reason why offer a job if its not available .

I wrote yesterday, that I signed up for CHICAGO AUDITIONS. “And”, that now I most likely will not be able to attend, due to “transportation problems”, in getting out to Sears Center Arena.

I planned on traveling to Chicago, “for the day”. NOW, you have to be there 2 days, ( for the wristband, & then the audition). This poses a dilemma, for me.

MY DREAM TO SING, has been since age of 3. “LIFE” – HAS STOMPED ON MY PROGRESS!!! Inasmuch, as SUSAN BOYLE has succeeded , “at a mature age”, it is gratifying to see that X FACTOR, “REALIZES THAT TALENT”‘, comes in all “SHAPES AND AGES”.

I’m hoping to “yet”, find my way to the auditions!!! BUT, X FACTOR says, that “registering & obtaining a wristband”, DOES NOT GUARANTEE that one will be auditioned !!! Upon getting all the way to Chicago, I’m fearful this “would happen to me”.

Also , ‘IF TIME IS LIMITED”, the producers will search the crowd, for “STAR QUALITY”, to audition!!! I have to state my opinion, on that: SUSAN BOYLE , did not “appear to have “star quality”!!! Would Susan Boyle, have been bypassed???

“APPEARANCE IS NOT THE TOTAL FACTOR”, (in being a star, and recording records). I think Susan has proved that…

You go the day before the auditions and show ID and then get your wristband and turn in your release form. Then the next day (Bright & Early) you go wait in line to audition and then audition.

Dear Simon:
My name is Claudia Saravia and Im a very “big” fan of yours, it is an honour to write you back.
I received a letter from you inviting me to participate on “The X factor”. It has allways been my dream to show the world my talent. Im a singer, guitarrist and I play keyboards.
How did you get my email?…
Im very impressed with this letter cause its like a dream come true. I really respect all your opinions when youre judging someone.
If you want I can show you my channel on youtube but only if you wish.
There is this big problem… Im not northamerican Im from Chile, so its very weird to receive this letter. If only I could be Northamerican it would be easier but Im not and thats sad .
But anyway I feel so honoured and grateful to receive this letter from you… And it gives me more strenght to fly with my dream wings… You made me very happy cause youre a very important person in the world.
(This is the only way I could write you sorry)
God Bless you

Some of the comments and questions have me LMAO! If you love music and singing is something you do well and have loved for a long time…take a chance and audition. Worry about getting through and dealing with drastic decision making once you know that there is a decision to be made. This is happening in front of producers who can like you or not, you will move on in round format though apparently there’s only one producer round. You’ll know if you move on in 10 seconds or less…on the spot! So if you got it, give it to them and Best of Luck! I know I’m taking a chance…what have you got to lose?

The good thing is XFactor is a great experience. I’ve been singing a long long time but this by far has been my best experience at any super sing along. This was on my “bucket list,” and I was not let down. Wished I could have met Simon because I am often compared to him in my frankness and honesty about singers. It’s a gift and some are better than others. I can’t wait to see the show. Get out there and audition bring your family and friends.

Hi! I’ve been a singer & songwriter for some years now, I play guitar & piano and I have signed up for the auditions and read the rules of XFactor. I’ve been searching for an opportunity like this all my life… the thing is, I’m not a US permanent resident yet, don’t have a green card yet, but I’m elegible to work in the US, and I believe I can be an interesting option for the XFactor, plus I think this is A GREAT opportunity, one I really don’t want to miss…
Can I audition? When I do, could I stay in the competition for the next rounds knowing I’m not a permanent resident yet? Would your company help and support me with my visa documents if I stay for the advanced rounds?
Could I send you a video so you can watch, listen and then consider this situation? I really need to have this information, since this effort means a traveling expenses, and I wouldn’t like to be there and not be able to perform or to continue in the competition for paper-work reasons that have nothing to do with music.
All I want is an opportunity: I’m ready to go audition in any of the next cities you’re having auditions, just say yes, and I’ll be there.
Thanks, for the possiblility, for keeping all these dreams alive an making them true for so many.
I’m looking forward to hear from you, and to send you my material so you can decide about it.

First of all they tell you to get there before 8.am which i did. then they keep you waiting 2hrs in the rain outside before they let you in. once inside I waited around 13 or 14 hrs to audition. this was the shocker!!!!! they have 20 booths and put 20 singers inside each one. when you start to sing everyone else is singing at the same time in their own booth. each singer has a judge. Mine kept turning his head from left to right as he couldn’t hear me. I am very angry about this whole audition. Every singer should sing alone in front of a judge or judges. It was horrible. Would like to contact simon. but how???? I’m shocked that he would have such a horrible set up for all of the singers.

1. Be the FIRST one in line or one of the first people auditioning: The judges ” producers” get really tired… when they first started almost EVERYONE got a golden ticket! I’m not kidding… I got the opportunity to listen to 5 people who sang GORGEOUS and dressed really different and DIDN’T get the golden ticket because they were like an hour and a half after they started…
2. DRESS AS RIDICULOUS as you CAN… yes guys…. believe it or not… people that wore pink hair, went in boxers, dressed as the mad hatter etc got through….
3. so you thought singing was going to help? well apparently you have to SCREAM your lungs out to get through!!! sooooooooo many people were screaming it was really bothering after one point… but hey! they got through…

Didn’t go to the auditions and from the comments here and the contract one would have to sign, I am glad I didn’t. Since i have written over 10,000 songs I will still keep plodding along. But I believe we are entitled to royalties and residuals of our work. And the problem with these shows on all tv networks is that the big corporations want to own you and what you create without paying for it. I am surprised that the songwriting organizations and SAG haven’t made these contracts more public. ALL of them are pretty dismal. The best of luck to everyone who tries out and makes it. I just hope it is worth it in the long run.

Thankyou, for giving my son the opportunity to try out, perform for the XFactor, I really don’t know who to address this to, but here it goes, Music has saved my son’s life. He has been bullied all his life because of his constant battles with Asbergers Syndronme. When you do met him, interveiw him ,he dosn’t let anyone know just how much every day, for him is a struggle. When you met him and ask him about his life, he will tell you all the positives, which have reinforced his life over the years…. Every day for him is a challenge, but knowing that he can turn to his Saxophone, guitar, clarinet, voice(which is also his instrument) is remarkable! We are so proud of him. Like I said, you wouldn’t know ALL the things he has and now goes through, when hearing him sing like Josh Groban, or play his Saxophone so perfectly, it sounds like a violin. Channeling his negative thoughts into positive thoughts , through his music, is a gift. Again thankyou for letting him experience the XFactor, he will turn this into a positive experience through his music, to keep striving, no mater what! He sings and plays from the heart..which he turns to God every Sunday to share his talents…

My daughter is in 11th grade and I asked the teacher about missing the two days and he was less than happy with the idea, is there anything else I can do to make this happen for my daughter?
She recently visited Orlando and tried out at the American Idol experience, she went through all eliminations and in the final five of 245 people she finished 3rd she was the only minor of the five. I believe in her and would like to see her dream of singing get a push…. She is now 16 years old.

Okay, Stand outside for many long hours and wait inside for more hours for your chance at fame and fortune? Do it!! Fame isn’t that easy. It’s hard work. It’s everyday as a matter of fact. This is a fast track because the other way takes years of waiting and waiting some more. So get out there! Be prepared for the long days. Again, the experience alone is worth it. The judges are all different but each on is hoping that they are the one that chose the person with the X-Factor. In my book just showing up gives you that X-Factor drive. Go! Go! Go! Here’s your chance to be a shining star. Be the 2011 American X-Factor!!!:-) Go early!

So, just wondering to anyone who has been to auditons, how many people did not get a chance to audition to due too many people, because if i dont stand a chance of even being able to auditon then i am not going to go.

I heard a lot of great singers in LA and I know there are thousands more to be heard. Take your favorite song to sing and add some of your uniqueness to it. Remember your favorite singers are asked to keep it less complicated in the studio so that you the public can sing along. Any good singer can mimic another singers style. You need to be creative, because in the end, that’s what America is looking for. There are thousands of cookie cutter singers out there. Go beyond GaGa or Bennet or Rihanna. Your self expression is key. Being true yourself is as they say is, “keepin’ it real!”. Being nervous or scared is not a bad thing. That will help you excel beyond your own expectations! Most important have fun with the judges. They have very tough decisions to make and your personality is a big part of it. If you don’t make it this year there is always next year. You will grow better. You had better be able to sing, really sing! Show up, experience X-Factor, and have the best time meeting new people like yourself. You will never forget this event. Fill a backpack like you are backpacking. Be there or America may never know of your great talent. Good luck fellow singers!

We were at the Miami Auditions and unfortunately they did not do what they said they were going to do. Those people who received their bracelets early the day before were one of the last ones to audition. It is true about early in the day just about everyone gets through and later, the judges run out of “tickets” to put people through to the second round, so basically they go through the motion of auditioning people and say “thank you” If you do not audition early get up and leave, you will spend many many hours waiting for disappointment! Even if you are an amazing singer, auditioning later in the day will not get you through. Shame on you Xfactor Miami staff for not doing what you said you were going to do and that is going in number order. It was not fair, and many many wonderful singers did not get to have their chance!!!

Jason and Isa hit he nail on the head, people who could not even hold a note got through because they looked funny, or had some sign or costume gimmick, just look at the individual photos posted in the papers or online the next day. And if you were not one of the first few thousand to audition, your odds of getting a pass to the next round went down exponentially, I even saw many of the X-factor crew going home while I was still standing in line!!! I will say that most everybody who stuck around to audition were very, very cool people, many with mad talent and I wish them well despite Thursdays debacle.

I am very disappointed at this Simon Cowell production. If Miami is any indication of what the show is going to be like, Roget it what a disaster. I have to agree totally with the prior blogger ISA. The audition process was not well organized. XFactor will not end up with the best talent for this competition, it is really a hokes. I had to throw away all my food and water with cooler. Even after a memo advised to bring such things. All so they can make money selling food and drinks inside. Most of event employees were rude. The noise level in the center was extremely high, singers belting songs all around there co auditioners. Auditioners could not here themselves judges could not here auditioners totally distracting the singers. The whole audition process was not setup for success. I considered it very unprofessional and a disaster. It was never suggested for the crowds to keep the noise down while auditioning. I feel bad for the very young talented singers that got turn down in this badly organizes process. My advice to you talented artist out there , do not waste your time and no matter what happens in the audition do not take it seriously because it is all one big joke. Shame on you Mr. Cowell, I lost my respect for you.

I can’t wait! Simon is so real, and so missed, and is about the complete package. Although some did not like him, but in reality, the entertainment business is brutal and tough. I’ve seen dancing auditions, Broadway rehearsals, etc….., and it’s not easy. If you don’t have it, you just don’t have it, and those who truly have it, know they do. Finally a show that is a more serious venue. I watched American Idol once this season, and blah, without Simon. You can’t have a show where all the judges give thumbs up, and cover everything over with icing. This is the real deal about the complete package, hence the name,
The X-Factor and hopefully those who just think they can sing, or those who can sing, but don’t have the complete package won’t audition or waste Simon’s time. It’s about time!

Stop Complaining - wrote:

It really is sad to read all the comments on here trashing the show and its process. Have you seen the finalist of X Factor over in Europe, do they look like clowns and crazy people dressed up w/o any talent?? Yes I agree some of those people are going to get through and yes there will be some people w/ awesome voices who don’t get through. But who is to say that the clown who made it through had somewhat of a voice, but had other combining factors that made he/she stand out? Or who is to say the BEST vocalist in the whole audition who got cut, stood like a lump on a log in front of the judges while belting out the most beautiful tune? It’s a TV show yes, and unfortunately, there will be certain things that some of us don’t like about how the X Factor producers pick people for THEIR show (yes, believe it or not, it’s their show and they get to set the rules and decides who gets to play and who doesn’t), but you know what, it is an opportunity and a door that is open. To sit and type away at a keyboard and tell someone else not to waste their time and not go just because you personally had a bad experience, doesn’t mean that the person who has not auditioned yet should not have the opportunity to have a GREAT experience or a BAD experience. None the less, it is an experience and an opportunity that most will not take. So take it from someone who made it through all three rounds (like how I threw in a plug for myself?) and had to wait in the hot sun, throw away my food and drinks before I got into the center, stand around a bunch of talented and non-talented singers all day long while they warmed up or proved to the next guy/gal that they were somehow unique from the other thousands of people waiting and singing in line, that it was a great and unique experience for me and I met a lot of really great people and not so great people, but memories to last a lifetime. My advice to anyone trying out for the show in future cities:

1. GET to the registration process as early as possible so that you get a pretty good auditioning spot! Not to say if you are the very first person to get your ticket, you will be the very first person to audition, but you will be w/n the first hundred or so. I can’t STRESS this enough. And on audition day, don’t worry so much about getting there early; just don’t be so late that they lock the gates on you, your ticket will determine your audition time (for the most part).
2. Bring light snacks w/ you to eat while you are standing in line to get into the main center. We were not allowed to bring snacks into the center and we all had to throw away any food or water that we had w/ us. I am not sure if it was the X Factor production’s rule or if it was the U of Miami center rules. But oh well, minor bump in the road.
3. Make sure you have your songs (two or more) ready to go (lyrics memorized, etc…whatever etc may be), know which ones you are going to sing, and sing the best songs that you know! Don’t wait until you are about to go in for the audition and pick a song; and DON’T switch songs at the last moment unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure the song you switch to is another strong song for you.
4. When you are in for the audition, make sure you can speak well and articulate the answer to the question that you are being asked. Yes they want to know if you are able to speak and hold a conversation with them. You could be the best singer in the world, but if you are like “I wanna just like, sing for da rest of my life and I, uh, well you know, uh, feel I uh, sing very well because, I uh have what it takes, uh, because I uh, am unique, uh, just like every other unique, uh person, who is uh, umm like not like me I uh….you get the point).
5. LASTLY and ****MOST**** importantly!!!! Did I say ****MOST**** importantly??? MAKE YOURSELF STAND OUT!!! DON’T just walk in and stand there like a lump on a log when you go and see the judges. Slide in, stride in, tap dance in, moon walk in (well maybe not moonwalk in), but you get the point. Give them some excitement about you, but NOT over the top excitement. Face it, there are thousands of talented singers and a few hundred amazing singers out there, but if you don’t give them a whole package and if you don’t make yourself different from the other Nth to the thousands of others who auditioned than maybe you just don’t have that, um what is it that Simon Cowell calls it, um, ah…oh yeah, X Factor!

I was very excited about the XFactor coming to Miami, but what happened at the United Bank Center, I do not blame Simon Cowell, but I will put it here, and I hope he reads it. I am disappointed in the Oriental lady that auditioned with with a racist cold hearted face. She did not smile, she did not seem to be interested in me from the start of my entrance into her booth. I can sing, and I write music. I was not given any sort of heads up on what I needed to do, sing a little, sing and stop, nothing, she continued to look away from me as if a neighboring judge had given her a signal not to take me. I am just not sure what happened. But my waiting outside in the hot sun was uncomfortable. We were told to rid of water and other food to spend up our money inside. I am on unemployment and spent money I needed to come there and to be humiliated by a woman that appear to dislike black women. Her face turn up and sad, rude attitude and behavior, and to tell me No not this time, she can just No not never, because I certainly will not be back even if you offered 500 million dollars next time to stand before some little girl that has no skills to tell me who have been singing for over 40 years No not this time, and to take in a woman in a bikini that did not sing, but show her Gstring on the lawn to get attention. I think you should apologize XFactor to Miami. You really humiliated the people there, and your judges were very unfair not to choose those who could sing, but seem to choose an odd group just so to make a fool out of them in the semifinals/finals.

This is the straight up, hard,cold truth. Some judges gave all Yeses and others gave all NOs because some had golden tickets left and others ran out of their quota. This after being left to wait 8 hrs/day for two days straight. It was a cattle call all right – the performers were treated like animals. Shame on this whole smarmy, exploitative production.

The bottom line is, they can take as long as they’d like…and I don’t blame them. They have all the leverage!..not to mention, it’s probably nice for FOX to have hundreds of people “on call” just in case it doesn’t work out with certain people. And, the longer they wait, contestants will have less time to tell their friends about getting called back–better for the show.
