KVUE talked to a few "American Idol" hopefuls and one of the show's producers about what they are looking for in an Idol hopeful.
“We are looking for true stars who are singing from the heart. So authenticity is always key. You know, be yourself. Don’t try to emulate anyone. Don’t try to copy your favorite artist. Sing whatever genre you want and you feel is perfect for you,” said "American Idol" producer Anhie Nguyen.
