We’re just one week away from the premiere of the new season of American Idol, and your judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie are ready to help all of the competitors realize their star potential. For all of those of you who may be trying out, heed the words of advice from Luke.

“To be an American Idol, you’ve got to have the star, the star factor, the sparkle in your eye,” says Luke. “You’ve got to control the room. Own the room. Own the moment. It’s got to be God given. It’s got to be God given talent. But you also have to work really, really hard for it and you have to learn how to fight. I’m yet to learn how to navigate this competition. But if you don’t come in there with that idol factor, that star quality that makes me and Lionel and Katy just light up. When you walk in the room, you’re gonna have. You’re gonna have a little bit of trouble being the next American Idol.”
