6 августа 2006 г. (родившиеся в период с 7 августа 1977 г. по 6 августа 1990 г.) участники прослушивания должны были быть в возрасте от 16 до 28 лет. В этом сезоне для прослушивания использовались приглашенные судьи. [8]
Приглашенные судьи - Жемчужина - прослушивание в Миннеаполисе Кэрол Байер Сагер - прослушивание в Нью-Йорке Оливия Ньютон-Джон - прослушивание в Лос-Анджелесе
У многих из людей, прошедших прослушивание, были проблемы с двойными дверями, и многие на выходе часто шли не в ту дверь; Позже в этом сезоне Айдол подделал это с помощью «видеозаписи прослушивания» с участием Тони Беннета . В седьмом сезоне это не казалось проблемой, поскольку обе двери были доступны.
Пожилой мужчина по имени Шерман Пор прошел прослушивание в Лос-Анджелесе в этом году после успешной подачи петиции, чтобы убедить продюсеров отказаться от правила возрастного ограничения, чтобы он мог пройти прослушивание. Он объяснил, что сделал это, чтобы облегчить боль и страдания своей спутницы, которая умирала от рака, но умерла незадолго до того, как он смог пройти прослушивание перед судьями. [6] Позже он выпустил альбом, посвященный исследованию рака. [9] Другой участницей в том году была Мелисса Сгамбеллури , также известная как «Девушка из фонтана» за ее появление в промо и вступительном эпизоде празднования в фонтане после выигрыша своего золотого билета.
Джордин Спаркс, победительница этого сезона, не смогла пройти прослушивание в Лос-Анджелесе [10], но позже выиграла прослушивание в Сиэтле в качестве награды за победу в местном конкурсе под названием Arizona Idol, спонсируемом филиалом Fox. [11]
Неделя голливуда
В Голливуде были проведены раундов процесса прослушивания в течение четырех дней в ноябре 2006 года на Орфей театра в Лос - Анджелесе.
В первом туре каждый участник исполнил одну песню a capella по своему выбору перед судьями и всеми участниками того же пола. Затем конкурсантам сообщали, едут ли они дальше или возвращаются домой, группами по шесть человек. Это продолжалось в течение первых двух дней, сначала у самок, затем у самцов.
Второй тур проходил во второй и третий день и состоял из групп из трех или четырех конкурсантов, которые выбирали, репетировали, а затем исполняли одну из девяти предварительно выбранных песен. Группы были рассмотрены, и участники затем были оценены индивидуально, двигались ли они дальше или возвращались домой.
Третий тур проходил в четвертый день и состоял из отдельных участников, исполняющих песню из заранее выбранного списка в сопровождении фортепиано и бэк-вокалистов. Конкурсантам снова сообщили, попали ли они в отсек или нет.
Зеленая миля
Окончательное сокращение голосований перед аудиторией произошло в Городском центре Пасадены 14 или 15 января 2007 года, незадолго до начала трансляции региональных прослушиваний. Без каких-либо дополнительных прослушиваний, но, возможно, с проведением некоторого исследования аудитории, оставшиеся 40 участников были сокращены до 24. В процессе, занимающем целый день, участники ждут в гостиной, пока один за другим не поднимутся на лифте и не заберутся. долгая прогулка до другого конца Золотой комнаты Центра. Затем трое судей сказали им, попали ли они на сценическое шоу или были сокращены. Среди тех, что были вырезаны на этом этапе, была «девушка-фонтан» из вступительных титров, Мелисса Сгамбеллури .
24 полуфиналиста были объявлены 14 февраля 2007 года.

- ^Note 1 : The week of April 25 was a non-elimination, as the week held a Idol Gives Back telethon performance. The Top 6 remained intact for another week on May 2 with votes cast for both weeks being carried over, which would eliminate two contestants with the two fewest combined votes that week. Seacrest forego announced the acts who were ranked in the bottom two/three on both weeks as well.
Конкурс авторов песен American Idol
On the April 3, 2007 show, Ryan Seacrest announced the first American Idol Songwriter: a songwriting contest. Following an open online submission process where over 25,000 submissions were received, twenty songs were selected for competition by Simon Fuller and A&R representatives of his 19 Entertainment. Beginning May 2, 2007 and ending May 8, 2007, with "one online vote per fan", the American public were able to listen to snippets from each song and rated them on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) on the American Idol Songwriter website. On the May 22, 2007 show, the two finalists performed the winning song, "This Is My Now." The song was released as a single by Jordin Sparks, the winner of American Idol Season 6.[17]
The titles of the twenty songs are:[18]

Споры
- There was controversy surrounding the judges' comments over the audition of a Special Olympics participant named Jonathan Jayne.[19] American Idol producer Ken Warwick responded saying that "It's not a conscious decision, It's just that the further we go in the series, there are less and less good singers, so the numbers are made up by more bad ones." Warwick said that he thinks everyone has the right to audition, and added that in some instances when there are singers with certain disabilities who just want to meet the judges, the producers will "turn the cameras off and bring them in. We give them a good experience."[20]
- A series of provocative photos surfaced on the Internet of Season 6 Top 24 Contestant Antonella Barba.[21]
- Teenager Sanjaya Malakar was seen as the season's most polarizing and talked about American Idol contestant,[22][23] as he continued to survive elimination for several weeks. The weblog Vote for the Worst and satellite radio personality Howard Stern both encouraged fans to vote for Sanjaya. However, on April 18, after over 38 million votes, Sanjaya was voted off.
- On Tuesday, April 17, 2007, the day after the Virginia Tech massacre, in which a student named Seung-Hui Cho used guns to kill 32 students and professors before committing suicide, while contestant Chris Richardson and Ryan Seacrest were discussing the shooting after Chris's critique, Simon Cowell apparently appeared to be rolling his eyes at the incident, when he was actually speaking to Paula Abdul and did not hear what Chris had said. On the results show the next day, Cowell stated: "I may not be the nicest person in the world, but I would never, ever, ever, disrespect those families or those victims, and I felt it was important to set the record straight." To clear Cowell's name, a video was shown on the result show which showed Cowell and Abdul talking with an inset of Chris and Seacrest discussing the shooting. Also, Seacrest began the performance show by acknowledging what had happened the day before.
- Fans and critics alike were stunned at Melinda Doolittle's departure. Simon Cowell admitted that the sixth season's crown should have rightfully gone to Melinda.[24] Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe responded, noting that "[Idol producers] were so engrossed with the mentors and didn't really focus on the Melinda Doolittles of the show." [25]
- During the finale, the show went over its scheduled 2-hour time limit and ended at 10:09 PM EST; the previous two seasons' finales also ran over time. As a result, many users who recorded the program on DVRs reported that as recordings of the broadcast concluded at the program's scheduled end time of 10:00PM, they missed the announcement of the winner. Fox executives issued an apology, and a TiVo spokesperson advised users to "pad" recordings of live broadcasts by adding several minutes of extra recording time "as insurance."[26]

American Idol Extra (season 2)
American Idol Extra, a behind-the-scenes show, also returned for a second season, corresponding with the start of the finals in March. It aired Thursdays on Fox Reality.
Idol Gives Back 2007
On the March 8, 2007 results show, Ryan Seacrest announced an initiative to give back to people in poverty in both Africa and the United States (including those affected by Hurricane Katrina). The event took place over two episodes of the series. For every vote cast immediately following the April 24, 2007 broadcast, many sponsors donated funds to the Charity Projects Entertainment Fund. The fund will distribute the money raised to many charities in the US as well as in Africa.[47] News Corporation pledged to donate 10 cents for every vote made to the show for the first 50 million calls, that is, up to $5 million. MySpace created a special profile page for the event in order to spread the word. Donations from viewers were accepted by phone and website during the April 25, 2007 results show, in a manner similar to a telethon. Near the end of the broadcast, Seacrest announced the show raised 30 million US dollars, with the final tally coming on May 1, 2007. As of May 1, 2007, over $70 million has been raised as a result of Idol Gives Back.
Between contestant performances, video vignettes showing the judges and Seacrest visiting and observing squalid conditions in Africa and the United States were aired. Similar vignettes were aired during the results show. For this special, the voting period was doubled to four hours following the show, rather than the usual two. In response to the anticipated call volume, each contestant was assigned two toll free numbers. Over 70 million votes were cast.
The results show was broadcast from two locations—the regular American Idol stage and Walt Disney Concert Hall—and included many celebrity actors and personalities. The show also included numerous performers; for a full list of performances, see the main article. Ellen DeGeneres co-hosted the event from the Disney Hall stage. Proceeds from ticket sales benefited the fund. Videos of the results show's performances are available for purchase on iTunes, with proceeds going to charity.
Due to the "charity" theme of the show, no contestant was eliminated on the April 25 results show. This was a surprise both to viewers, to whom Seacrest promised the "most shocking elimination ever", and to the contestants. When Ryan Seacrest was about to eliminate Jordin Sparks he said since it was a charity night none of the contestants were voted off, and the votes from that week were added to the votes from the following week to eliminate two singers. Both weeks saw a two-hour extension of the regular two-hour voting window, and in the end, the two-week combined voting totaled 135 million votes.
Idol Chat (season 3)
TV Guide Channel aired its third season of Idol Chat.
Idol Tonight (season 2)
TV Guide Channel brought back a second season of Idol Tonight, the live pre-show to American Idol, which aired on Wednesdays starting in March. The show features former Idol runner-up Justin Guarini as a correspondent along with Kimberly Caldwell and Rosanna Tavarez.
Международные передачи
UK edition
For the UK back-to-back repeat of the performance and results shows on the following Friday night on ITV2, Cat Deeley presents additional sections preceding and following each commercial break, and follows the end of the show with a short interview with that week's eliminated contestant.[48]
Музыкальные релизы
Music releases
Unlike previous seasons the top 12 compilation album did not come out while the show was airing. The top 12 recorded studio versions of each of the songs they sang on the show. The songs were available for purchase on AmericanIdol.com as digital downloads through the night of the finale. Sparks' and Lewis' songs (except Sparks' "Livin' on a Prayer") remained available on the Idol website and iTunes Store through June 20, 2007,.[49]
Originally, a collage of the finalists' head shots from the top 24 photo shoot was used as album art on AmericanIdol.com, with the title American Idol 6: Greatest Moments; at present, the covers of Sparks' and Lewis' EPs are used instead. The American Idol: Season 6 – "Greatest Hits" & "The Collector's Edition" were eventually released on June 12, 2007 on iTunes/Americanidol.com. This is the only season that the season's collection is not distributed by Sony BMG/RCA Records.
Sparks' first non-American Idol single was the top hit (peaking at number eight) "Tattoo", which received platinum certification. Her second single was the Billboard Hot 100 number three hit "No Air" with Chris Brown. The song went to number one in several countries, and also topped Billboard's Pop Airplay chart. "No Air" had been certified platinum in April but recently passed the 3 million copies mark. It stands as the best-selling single by any Idol contestant. Sparks released a third single off her album, "One Step at a Time", which peaked at number 17. "One Step at a Time" has so far sold over a million copies and is certified platinum. Sparks released her second album Battlefield in July 2009. The album's title track became Jordin's fifth top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 10. This makes Jordin Sparks the only American Idol contestant to have their first five singles become Top 20 Hits.
Blake Lewis's first single was "Break Anotha!", which failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. His second single, "How Many Words", also failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 25 in the Bubbling Under chart (Hot 100 equivalent = 125). Shortly afterward, Lewis confirmed that he had been dropped by Arista records. His album sales are just over 300,000. The drop also canceled his apparent plans for a third single release.
"This Is My Now" as performed by Jordin Sparks was released as a radio single. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 15.
On May 24, 2007, the winner Jordin Sparks and runner-up Blake Lewis released five-song EPs on iTunes Store; though only iTunes calls them "EPs", they are also available as "bundles" for the same price on AmericanIdol.com through June 20, 2007.
Sparks' EP contained the winner's single, "This Is My Now", as well as four songs she performed on Idol: "I (Who Have Nothing)", "A Broken Wing", "To Love Somebody", and "Wishing on a Star".
Lewis' EP did not contain "This Is My Now"; all of the tracks were songs he performed on the show: "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Time of the Season", "I Need to Know", "Love Song", and "When the Stars Go Blue".
On June 12, 2007, Apple released five song EPs for the rest of the top 12 finalists (Melinda Doolittle, LaKisha Jones, Chris Richardson, Phil Stacey, Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato, Gina Glocksen, Chris Sligh, Stephanie Edwards and Brandon Rogers) along with the compilation album as a collector's edition of the season's songs. Each of the songs are also available for individual purchase.[50]
Phil Stacey, tied for fifth place with Chris Richardson, is now signed to Lyric Street and has released his first single "If You Didn't Love Me". Richardson recently[when?] produced his first single, "All Alone." Tenth place finalist Chris Sligh recently[when?] released a Christian album after signing with Brash Music.
