Can't make it to one of the audition locations for the upcoming season of 'American Idol?" Don't fret! You can now audition online, UsMagazine.com reports.
In celebration of the show's 10-year anniversary, 'Idol' will be partnering with MySpace to allow aspiring singers the opportunity to audition online for the first time in 'Idol' history.
今年的《美国偶像》即将盛大开罗，而对于比赛跃跃欲试的素人们有多一项新的途径参与海选。今年起，《美国偶像》将第一次启动网络海选，就算没办法感到现场，也一样可以一展动人歌喉。
In a statement released on Wednesday, 'Idol' said audition videos could be uploaded to MySpace's American Idol mini-site until October 6. The guidelines state entries must be sung a cappella and chosen from an approved list of songs. Some of the approved songs include Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine," Keith Urban's "Kiss a Girl" and Barry Manilow's "Copacabana, MTV.com reports.
为了庆祝第十季的开播，节目将于Myspace联手推出网络海选赛场，为有才华的年轻人提供更宽阔的竞争平台。在十月六日之前，都可以把自己的表演赛你视频上传到网站上，不过主办方对于选择曲目划定了范围。
The entry videos are limited to 40 seconds in length and only one is allowed per person. A select few will move forward from these online auditions to the callback round in Los Angeles.
The audition announcement comes just days after it was revealed Jennifer Lopez would be joining Randy Jackson as an 'Idol' judge for the 10th season. Her paycheck? A cool $12 million.
这一消息是在正式拍板詹妮弗-洛佩兹的评委之席后对外公布的，而作为酬劳，这位拉丁美女将获得一枪两百万的“评委费”。不知网络海选这一创新的手法能否对于一直亦步亦趋跟随欧美同类节目的国内选秀市场有所启发。 |
