American Idol 7

Fox announces 'American Idol 7' audition dates and locations

By Christopher Rocchio, 06/25/2007

Fox has announced the dates and locations for American Idol's seventh season open auditions.

While Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe had previously mentioned he was considering raising the eligibility for the seventh season to include 30-year-olds, that apparently won't be the case. Instead, Idol's seventh season will allow singers as old as 28 years of age to compete, as it has for the last two seasons (prior to Idol 4, age 26 had been the maximum). Also as in previous seasons, the competition's minimum age will remain 16.

More specifically, all contestants must be between 16 and 28 years old on July 28, 2007 -- meaning that all applicants must be born on or between July 29, 1978 and July 28, 1991 in order to be eligible to participate.
