PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

From every report by people who have been to tryouts there is a couple of rounds of judging before you see Simon, Paula, and Randy.In the last round of judging they can't see 10,000 people in two days at 2 minutes per audition each. Converting 20000 audition*minutes to days gives you just under 14 days if they did it 24 hours a day. I've seen video on TV of the process but don't recall all the details, but I think those clips where they show all the bad singers singing the same song is one of several rounds. They send to Simon, Paula and Randy a few sets of people. The very good who have a shot. The very bad for the Paula, Simon, Randy reaction shots and comments. The ones with really good stories/funny costumes, etc. They may be mediocre (not really good or really bad) but they will make you smile or cry.

I'm sure there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes of the show that we don't know about, including extensive screening of all contestants prior to being seen by Randy, Simon & Paula.

Not all contestants. My young sis-in-law tried out and she sang for only 5 seconds and they yelled, "Next!" Mind you, she's good but I guess there's only a certain number of good and bad singers they can allow through. She wasn't dressed in a special or weird way nor did she have a gimmick.

They do they go through two other sets of judges before they get to Randy and Paula and Simon. The producers just put the bad people through for entertainment value. Some are funny but some are just stupid. They have been showing alot more bad ones this year than good ones!!!!
