Stars Who Were Rejected by ‘American Idol’ and ‘The Voice’
Maren Morris, Luke Combs and Tori Kelly are among the stars who’ve been turned down by singing competition shows before their big breaks.
Morris shared a picture of her American Idol audition ticket from 2007 via Instagram in July 2022. “I didn’t make it past the first-round cattle call,” Morris admitted in the caption. “I wasn’t really into sports growing up, but this feels like the equivalent of your mom saving your 10th place trophy. 😂🏆.”
The Grammy winner’s experience with rejection didn’t end there. During a March 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Morris revealed she was “rejected” from America’s Got Talent.
“There were a ton that I didn’t make it to,” she said, before adding, “People cover my songs for their auditions on those shows 1733867813, so it’s like, not only is it really nice to have my song on a national television show — but [I also] get to collect the check and have some sweet revenge.”
