Full American Idol Experience show featuring Lee DeWyze at Disney's Hollywood Studios 

Here after Kevin's coverage of the American Idol Experience on Defunctland. My best advice for you as you watch this experience... have fun!

Now that Disney officially owns *American Idol*, I wish they would re-open this attraction. I loved this show!

The American idol experience should come back, that's my favorite show

I wish they didn’t close this at Disney World I really enjoy it

I just won the golden ticket last night!

Disney or universal studios you need to bring this back.😊

That host is Smackdown ring announcer Greg Hamilton!

They should have something like this for the voice.

They shouldn't closed down american idol experience at Disney hollywood studios, that's too early to closed down, it should stay for another 20 years because I want it to go there.

I find it funny that Greg Hutson (the host) is the ring announcer for WWE Smackdown now lmfao

@LuvCookie31 The contestants are real, the audiences are real (and their reactions), the judge panel is real. If you're getting a feeling of something being staged it's because they practice before the show starts because they do have to have it done within a certain time frame as they have multiple showings of it within the open hours of the park all the way until the winners of each show make it to the finals and hopefully win the golden ticket.

Saw this when it first came out. Very good.

That is so AWESOME that Lee got to be apart of the American Idol Experience!! Very cool. I want to go to the Hollywood studios soon & be on the show!! :)

I was in the audience, and I remember having trouble deciding between #2 and #3.

I lowkey miss this experience, and i’m glad brody won the audience had taste

I miss it

For those of you have just heard, the "American Idol Experience" has finally coming to an end after almost 5 years. The last day of the performance was last night. I would like to see the final show of "American Idol Experience" in its entirety ASAP. Too bad, Caleb Johnson would've been visiting the "American Idol Experience" at a motorcade parade. What a sad way to see it go. Caleb Johnson would've visit there, but it's too late. Sorry! All I got to say this in the mortal words of Porky Pig "Th-th-th that's all folks!" RIP: American Idol Experience (2009-2014) :(

Yeah, it's real I went there!!!:)

I went with my senior trip and me and 3 other friends auditioned and got in together. 2 of them weren't 18, me and the other friend were. We acted as their "guardians". You'll be fine as long as you go with someone over 18.

man the guy who won american idol in 2010 looked like that.... we sure have come far as a society

This is awesome!! I never knew this was a thing back then

it's kinda sad that they replaced this with more frozen trash

i was here!!!! best thing in Dinsey World! you have to see it

I am going with my school in February and I want to do this SOOOO bad omg

I am so glad Lee won

I did this. Went to fake Hollywood. Then I was fake eliminated. Then some chick who couldn't sing went to the stage show ):

And then, two years, the TV show "American Idol" has finally ended after 15 years. Trent Harmon is the winner and he will never be at the "American Idol Experience", because it was closed two years ago to make way for a "Frozen" like attraction. Ryan Seacrest says his final words at the end of the series finale it goes like this: "Seacrest, "We have such incredible talent on this show like that, whether the stars we created, or the judges behind the desk. The real reason our lives have changed forever, is you, at home. We know that, we appreciate that, and one more time, this is so tough. We say to you from Hollywood, good night America.... For now." RIP: American Idol (2002-2016) 😰

Anyone else thought the first judge was Pharrell Williams lmao 😂😂

They don't care. As long as someone is 18 or over, they can be your chaperone.

Why would they get rid of this?

I don't know why people are ragging on the performers, okay so the first and the third one are pretty bad, but the second one was pretty amazing

Was there on my birthday two years ago. I didn't make it past round one in the auditions.

Just went there no joke

man this attraction looks awesome! one thing why'd the audio change at 08:24?

0:41 0:42 0:43 3:36 3:37 3:38 1:16 1:17 1:18

It is so real. I should know. I was a contestant.

do they do the same song for every performance

Yeah this show should have stayed because it’s much better than frozen because I’m not singing to them

The host sounds like Ryan Seacrest, and looks like him.

Oh Lee... I feel sorry for the one's who just never make it

whats the name of the jordin sparks song and is there an official audio version of it anywhere?

is something up with the sound?

Hi just went there. It follows the same process it just changes what the winner gets. If you're good enough you could follow what the AI winners get. But you will need to hit the bulls eye.

No. The guests choose each song.

the girl judge reminds me of Carrie Ann on Dancing with the Stars

2 is the best :D

@funnnnny45 lee CAN sing!if he couldnt sing,he wouldnt have made it as far as he did now would he? think bout it. hes got raw talent,and his awesome fans to support him of course! lee totally deserved his win. he did an awesome job! im sure they will both do just fine.

@LuvCookie31 I performed last year in feb. 2010 I was just a visitor, and made it to the last show... Its was real, and a blast... I posted some clips... No Lee at my show tho...

They should open America's Got Talent Experience.

are the judges actual judges or just actors?

@LuvCookie31 except for the visit from Lee, this is exactly what the attraction is like. Though it feels slightly grander (as far as the stage, lights, and sound). But of course there is the slight element of cheese. It is a Disney attraction after all.

hi, i remember u from the cruise

21:40 Oh, is that my hand?

Can you tell me who is kym marie or kym bonita in american idol

Im going with my schools band on a feild trip and i REALLY wanna do this but my parents wont be with me. Can i just get one of the chaperones or pay a random park visitor to pretend to be my parent?

I just won the finale :P

so they tape this?

didn't they close this?

hah I watched this when I was like 6...

Is this for real? It seemed very staged.

The only things that ARE fake Ryan Seacrest did tape the parts but isn't in the live show and different judges but it follows the same layout-you are getting the kodak theater experience-if you can't afford the real show go to this one will not be disappointed

What was the audience thinking?! Brody was good but my gf and I both thought Joey was great!

1:13 1:14 1:15

the judges are mega cringe

@LuvCookie31 actually i have done the american idol experience my self the whole show is very staged the whole show is scripted Lee was on the show at one point though

My teacher was in 23:03

Dude, Joey was so much better...

Oh man Florida outfits

The girl should have won

those judges are corny as hell.. smh. lol

Lee DeWyze didn't wanna be there xD

Ha ha I always loved the attraction not because it was good.....ha ha it sucked but because it made the lines smaller in the park. I cant imagine paying for a ticket and spending the whole day on this mini production. That's usually why it was locals from orlando because they had annual passes and it didnt waste their day. The real American idol is faked anyways. Talent Agencies put in contestants that dont even wait in line, those are usually the winners of idol. It's all predetermined if you watch the reruns it shows winners got extra time.on camera and interviews.

if the contestants are as bad as that girl... then i cant see how i can lose...just sayingggg

The girl judge's makeup is sooo thick and drag like

lol wouldnt they be suspicious if were pretty much the same age? but okay ill try! therell be some seniors on the trip i can probs bring with me

why did they even bother to do this? So forced and unoriginal...

Cringefest 3000

crystal should've won lee can't sing!

that girl was not good at all

WTF?

This is the cringiest thing I've ever seen

man this attraction looks awesome! one thing why'd the audio change at 08:24?
