David Archuleta Talks About Disney’s American Idol Experience
January 28, 2009 by Jeanne
American Idol season 7 runner-up, David Archuleta, had some advice for those who plan to audition at the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida.
Opening on February 14, 2009 to the general public, the attraction gives people the chance to live through the American Idol audition process which includes receiving feedback from a panel of judges and an audience (the audience gets to vote!).
The finalists get to try out for the real judges and get priority placement at one of the show’s real auditions. Archie had some tips for standing out during the process at Disney:

We were there today, they are purposely picking people without talent to be laughed at.
Out in the park, thin, attractive girls that sing as a hobby were turned away, but fat middle aged women were approached and asked if they wanted to tryout backstage. Typical answer was “I don’t know.”
It was just karaoke, the words were shown at the back for the “contestants” to read.
What a joke.
