singer in the country by a series of competition. Audience determines (决定) the result of every competition on

the stages through public voting (投票) by telephone. There are also three judges (裁判) beside the stages. They

watch the performances of the contestants. Then they give some suggestions to the contestants. All the

contestants must be American citizens. They must have full-time jobs. In the first three seasons, they had to be

16 to 24 years old. Since the fourth season, the upper age limit has been 28 years old. So it attracts different
