Description:

Fox Executives, 

For the next season, it's time to up the American Idol age limit again.

The first three seasons you had to be 16 to 24 years of age to audition. Since the fourth season, the upper age limit was raised to 28.  We would like to see it raised again to 35.

Sign this petition if you agree you can still be an idol at 35.

I do not think there should be an age limit to be on the show. Americans come in all ages , not just young and hot, but old and ugly. If the show can not be true to all americans it should be taken off the air.

Maybe we limit kids who are still in high school. There are enough kid talent shows out there. I have wanted to be on Idol for years and had they allowed 30 somethings to try out, I would have done it years ago. It's age discrimination. Age should not matter. Maybe have pre-screeners to eliminate those who are there to make asses out of themselves for their 5 minutes of fame. Let the real singers be the ones trying out.

I'm not in favor of this. I'd prefer another show called "Mature Idol" or Adult Idol - etc....

We have Canadian Idol, so I think I can comment, there should be no age limit, why can't a 99 year old become an idol? It's talent that counts.

NO, I think we should go one better: I think there should be a NEW SHOW CALLED, "American Icon," with NO age limit! The contestants would have to be in good enough health to wait in those lines, but it's time we started respecting people of ALL ages should be entitled to entertainment careers IF PEOPLE VOTE for them, then that would prove our country is not completely AGIST!

Why not? I'm sure Randy, Paula and Simon won't like it because they will have even more people to interview. I think it's a good idea!
