age limit... 28?
Jun 1 2011, 11:44 PM EDT
ok can somebody please tell me why you cant try out if you are over 28... does that make sense to other people? My husband is a 42 year old with a voice that will blow the judges minds!!! But he is too old??? They should take every person over 15 and judge them by their ability... not age. I am going to see if i can change that rule.
Do you find this valuable?

The main reason the age limit is 28 is because American Idol is more directed to find that young promising voice. They honestly are mostly looking for guys and gals in their late teens and early 20s since they are easier to handle, market, and advertise. They really only let people 25 in as they feel they could potentially find a shining gem, that they could still market. Its not always easy to market a guy who is 42 unless he blows every single person in the crowd. I honestly don't share this philosophy, but sadly it can be true in most cases. For your husband however, he could consider The X Factor, I don't believe there is an age limit.
