Canadian Idol Basics

Canadians aged 16-26 are welcome to audition. You'll need to fill out an application form, which you can download on the official website, and RSVP online so Canadian Idol officials can get a rough estimate of the turnout in each city. Whether you RSVP or not, the key is to be in line by 8AM in order to be guaranteed an audition. After 8AM, the line-up will be cut off and you won't be eligible to audition. Contestants must have two songs prepared to sing without music. As well, you must bring two pieces of ID (one must include a recent photo). Four judges will pick the Top 100, who will advance to the next stage in Toronto.
