Idol finalists give hopefuls some advice
As the newest round of American Idol auditions have gotten underway, some former finalists have been dishing out advice to those who are auditioning. Overwhelmingly the advice seems to be "be yourself."
"Be yourself and pick songs that make you stand out," advises Carrie Underwood.
"Be yourself and sing like it's your last time singing," counsels Fantasia Barrino.
"Be you," suggests Paris Bennett. "And no theater songs. Boring."
Bucky Covington offered some more practical advice. He says to plan to go to more than one stop on the audition tour - as the competition might be better at one than the other. Meanwhile Constantine Maroulis also gave some good advice.
"First and foremost, act like a professional" in the audition, Maroulis said. "Not that you know it all but you're someone who can be trusted, as in any other job interview — because, basically, that's what it comes down to and that's what it is."
