The tenth season of American Idol doesn’t premiere until January, but there’s no reason you should have to go without. The online auditions, an Idol first which was just implemented this year, are available for public viewing. Why wait to hear all the terrible singing…and, if you’re lucky, that rare moment of brilliance?

Of course, you won’t be hearing any soul-crushing feedback from Simon Cowell…but neither will any other Idol fans. View the video above to get just a small taste of what you’ll be hearing when you watch the online auditions.

Parents who absolutely don’t want their kids to

expose themselves may take advantage of the “Parent Takedown” link, which provides a short, pop-up form requesting video removal.
