  8. Initial Auditions Before contestants get the chance to see the show's judges, they go through two rigorous sets of cuts. The first is a brief audition with three other contestants in front of one or two of the show's producers. Contestants are then either sent through to the next round of producers or asked to leave.

  9. Out of the thousands of people who show up to audition, only about 100–200 contestants in each city make it past this second round of preliminary auditions. Those who advance are sent to Hollywood.

  10. Once in Hollywood, the contestants perform on different days, with eliminations by the judges on each day.

  11. If the judges felt the performance was adequate, the contestant moved on to the final Hollywood round.

  12. Eventually the competition is narrowed down to two finalists who compete for a major recording contract and the American Idol title.

  13. For the first season and seasons three-six, the finale was broadcast from the Kodak Theatre.

  14. For season seven, the venue was changed to the Nokia Theatre, which holds an audience of over 7,000.

  15. Finals The finals are broadcast live in prime time from CBS Television City in Los Angeles, in front of a live studio audience. Each finalist performs a song or songs selected from a weekly theme.

  16. The winner receives a one million dollar record deal with a major label, and is managed by American Idol-related 19 Management.
