It is not necessarily a bad thing to be rejected by the judges. We present 5 big stars that were rejected by American Idol and have gone on to become big stars. You would think that after being told by the likes of people who are the screeners for the show that you don’t have the goods to make it to the big time, that they would call it a day. That maybe true for some erstwhile singers that never made it the real judges. I’m talking about singing in front of the likes of Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Lionel Richie, Paula Abdul and so on. Some die-hard singers refused to take no for an answer and kept plugging away it. For some, it was up to 7 rejections before giving up.
What did these 5 stars that were rejected by American Idol lack?
It begs the question, what did the preliminary talent screeners not see in these people? Where the singers too nervous and didn’t really show their abilities? Did they lack a certain “star quality” that oozed from them? Were they lacking in personality? Did they present themselves to be potential talent worthy of getting in front of the celebrity judges? Or was it the judges that screwed up and let the big fish off the hook?
How do these judges feel knowing that rejected these big stars now in retrospect? Maybe they can rest easy knowing that they judged based on what they saw from the talent that was presented to them. When you are judging someone’s singing ability, you have to be quick because the lines of want to be stars could fill a stadium you have to make a quick decision and hope it’s the right one.
