It all started 10 years ago when America met (and was collectively offended by) Simon Cowell. Television viewers went from being a passive audience to active voters, and Kelly Clarkson went from being an unknown pop-star wannabe to a wildly successful recording artist with more than 23 million albums sold to date. Like it or hate it, American Idol transformed the TV world and remains as popular today as it was back in 2002.
For all you hardcore fans who feel as though you might die once the season ends May 23, here’s some excellent news: IT’S NOT OVER! The American Idol Live! tour 2012 is coming to Minneapolis July 9, and we have tickets for you to win.
Interested? All you have to do is leave a comment below saying what song you would sing if you were to audition for the show. Entries accepted until this Thursday at 4 p.m., and the winner will be announced soon after, so everyone else can still purchase tickets when they go on sale this Friday, May 11, at 10 a.m.!
