I've just finished listening to a couple of your pieces on YouTube. I look forward to hearing you on our local station(s) very soon. Do yourself a favor ... you have way to much talent ... STAY AWAY from American Idol or shows like that. I don't know where you are at with those type programs - and, obviously with your career, but having had friends on some of those programs (and getting into the top 10) I have a modicum of insight. So I will pass it on to you. They may look great on the surface, but under the covers, you get screwed while they make the big bucks.
Not just that, but (at least with America's Got Talent) they take 40% of your winnings - because they have you sign a contract that gives them 40% of ALL your earnings for x number of years, then it goes to 30% and then 20% and you are tied to these hoods for 10 years! And they don't even act as your agent, they just make the claim that your success is because of your appearance on their program. As I stated earlier, you are very good and have a ton of talent, you should be very successful with your own hard work and good representation.

Yeah I have heard the stories about that. If you don't win or come close it can be bad for your career to make the show.
