Well, I can’t get you tickets, I’m sorry to say, but you can read all about the ins and outs of attending an American Idol elimination show. Here’s a bit of what you’ll read. Audience members are not allowed to chew gum. There’s an MC, Cory, who warms up the crowd and gets them pumped up for lots of cheering. And, yes, the Idols waiting for elimination really do have to stand around and wait during the commercial break. How nervewracking that must be!
This particular article was written about the elimination of Kevin Covais. Apparently, he sounds much better in person, so perhaps that explains the judges’ fascination with him.
