The Walt Disney Company has a long tradition of supporting youth performers, from the original Mickey Mouse Club showcasing some of Hollywood’s best talent to Magic Music Days giving school kids the chance to perform in a Disney theme park. For one week during its Limited Time Magic promotion, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is extending that idea to the American Idol Experience.
The age limit for performing at American Idol Experience has always been tied to the TV shows eligibility requirements. If the winner got a dream ticket they couldn’t use, that would make no sense right?
From August 12-18, Disney will have one Juniors Show, where contestants aged 6-13 can perform. They won’t get a dream ticket, but they will get an amazing experience.
The special taste of showbiz will begin with an audition in front of a Disney producer, just like the regular show. The three contestants chosen for the Juniors Show will get a Hollywood-style showbiz treatment including cosmetology, a vocal training session and walk-through rehearsal before taking the stage in front of the live audience. The three finalists will also get feedback from the panel of judges. It’s not mentioned if the audience will vote for a winner or if some other ending will be involved.
If your child wants to enter, we’ve included the list of songs choices below the jump. Better get rehearsing right away.
“Ain’t Too Proud To Beg”
“Best of Both Worlds”
“Breakaway”
“Bubbly”
“Circle of Life”
“The Climb”
“Colors of the Wind”
“Drops of Jupiter”
“Go the Distance”
“I Want You Back”
“Life is a Highway”
“Love Story”
“One Thing”
“Part of Your World”
“Reflection”
“Rock With You”
“The Story of Us”
“Stuck like Glue”
“This is Me”
“Walking on Sunshine”
“You’ll Be in My Heart”
Is this something you think your child would be interested. I suspect mine will definitely want to audition. More details on Disney’s website.
