Can't make it to one of the audition locations for the upcoming season of 'American Idol?" Don't fret! You can now audition online, reports.

In celebration of the show's 10-year anniversary, 'Idol' will be partnering with MySpace to allow aspiring singers the opportunity to audition online for the first time in 'Idol' history.

今年的《美國偶像》即將盛大開羅,而對于比賽躍躍欲試的素人們有多一項新的途徑參與海選。今年起,《美國偶像》將第一次啟動網(wǎng)絡(luò)海選,就算沒辦法趕到現(xiàn)場,也一樣可以一展動人歌喉。

In a statement released on Wednesday, 'Idol' said audition videos could be uploaded to MySpace's American Idol mini-site until October 6. The guidelines state entries must be sung a cappella and chosen from an approved list of songs. Some of the approved songs include Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine," Keith Urban's "Kiss a Girl" and Barry Manilow's "Copacabana, reports.

為了慶祝第十季的開播,節(jié)目將于Myspace聯(lián)手推出網(wǎng)絡(luò)海選賽場,為有才華的年輕人提供更寬闊的競爭平臺。在十月六日之前,都可以把自己的表演賽你視頻上傳到網(wǎng)站上,不過主辦方對于選擇曲目劃定了范圍。

The entry videos are limited to 40 seconds in length and only one is allowed per person. A select few will move forward from these online auditions to the callback round in Los Angeles.

The audition announcement comes just days after it was revealed Jennifer Lopez would be joining Randy Jackson as an 'Idol' judge for the 10th season. Her paycheck is?A cool $12 million.

這一消息是在正式拍板詹妮弗-洛佩茲的評委之席后對外公布的,而作為酬勞,這位拉丁美女將獲得一槍兩百萬的“評委費”。不知網(wǎng)絡(luò)海選這一創(chuàng)新的手法能否對于一直亦步亦趨跟隨歐美同類節(jié)目的國內(nèi)選秀市場有所啟發(fā)。
