American Idol Holding New Jersey Auditions in Late August
Take this opportunity to become the star you know you are without having to travel too far. Oh, that rhymed! American Idol New Jersey auditions are being held!
If you remember American Idol as I do when it first came on the scene in 2002, you know it has changed significantly over the years. I assume you recall or have seen the old American Idol footage from the first season when Kelly Clarkson was the first winner. It looks like it was low budget at the time, especially compared to the ultra-high professional production it is today.
Holding The American Idol New Jersey Auditions
Now it’s 2024, and Season 23 (Season 8 on ABC) auditions for American Idol’s Idol Across America will visit New Jersey face-to-face via Zoom to search for singing talent.
They’re hosting open-call virtual Zoom auditions for American Idol Garden State singers with superstar aspirations.
During this season’s first round of American Idol, anyone can sign up to audition face-to-face in front of producers for the show and you’ll get real-time feedback for a chance at making Idol history and being crowned the next American Idol.
No one from New Jersey has ever won but there have been a few that advanced to near the top. Camryn Champion, who is from Lumberton, New Jersey, competed on season 20 a couple of years ago. Manasquan’s Cole Hallman competed during the same season as Camryn. We Ani, who was my choice to win last year, is from Paterson, New Jersey, but fell short even though she made it into the final five during the competition. There’s also the pride of East Brunswick, Jax. Jax appeared on American Idol Season 14 in 2015 and finished third.
This is the fifth year in a row for Idol Across America. It’s a live virtual nationwide search that features audition days for all 50 states, including New Jersey, plus Washington, D.C. It makes it possible and
easier for those who don’t have the time or means to travel for an audition. New Jersey auditions will be on Wednesday, August 21st.
If you’re lucky enough to land an audition, you’ll be joined in the waiting room by American Idol alum Jayna Elise for audition tips and advice.
