Next American (Songwriting) Idol
Hey, where would those singers be without the people who write the songs?
Now, “American Idol” producer Simon Fuller is asking for potential hit makers to join the American Idol Songwriter competition, giving Idol fans their first chance to write the next American Idol’s hit single.
Additional details and online submissions, which open today, can be found at www.americanidol.com
Fuller and his 19 Entertainment A&R staff will select the initial Top 20 songs from all the entries. Beginning May 2, fans will then be able to go online, listen to and vote for their favorite songs.
The song chosen by the nation will then be performed live in front of millions of viewers on the season’s finale.
But that is only the beginning.
The song will be recorded and released by this year’s American Idol. The winning songwriter will receive a music publishing deal with 19 Entertainment; a cash advance on royalties; and the thrill of watching their song belted out by “American Idol” finalists on the show’s final episodes.
