Untelevised Auditions[]

Trivia[]

  • The contestants that auditioned in the first episode (with the exception of Tyler Mitchell) made an appearance in a promo for Season 17 that was shown on the night of the 2019 Oscars, all performing “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen.[5]
  • Like the previous year, episodes featured auditions from multiple cities instead of featuring one (or occasionally two) city per audition episode.
  • There were no televised unsuccessful contestants in Coeur d'Alene.
  • Only three televised contestants were shown in Denver, the fewest for any city on American Idol ever.
