Inside American Idol - Some back stage info
 Q: On “American Idolâ€, I noticed the show has montages of various auditioners singing a particular song that is not the same as the song used in their audition. Why would someone who just got rejected continue to embarrass themselves?   —Alissa
A: That’s a good question, even though humiliation and embarrassment is what many of the “American Idol†contestants clearly seek, as they dress themselves in ridiculous costumes and sing horrible songs.
FOX didn’t respond to requests for comment, but we now know why, thanks to semi-finalist Jennifer Sieminski, who made it to the Hollywood round but was then eliminated. In an interview with The East Carolinian, she says that those segments are not “even recorded in front of Simon, Paula and Randy.†In fact, those were recorded days earlier.
During the auditions, the judges don’t show up until the last day or two, and only see about 100 people who have already been screened, first by producers (who see small groups and narrow the contestants to a few hundred) and then by the show’s executive producers. And yes, all the way along, producers intentionally keep the worst and most absurd contestants, because it makes for good TV during the audition rounds.
During that second round, the executive producers asked certain contestants to sing certain songs such as “Lady Marmalade†— and they “only had the bad people sing it,†according to Jennifer.
Because that part of the audition was filmed in front of the same backdrop, it appears as though those awful singers featured in the montages were performing in front of the judges, when in fact that was recorded days earlier.
