With Hollywood Week just wrapping up and the Top 24 being chosen for season 9 of American Idol, 24 people have to keep the biggest secret of their lives for a few weeks. Even if our Top 24 can keep their mouths shut about their big news, there are seven unspoken give-aways that you've made American Idol.

If you made it to Hollywood week and you've done any of the last seven things in the past few days, it's pretty safe to say we'll be seeing you on that big stage come February 23rd.


Seven Sure-Fire Ways to Spoil Your Spot on American Idol:

1. Delete Your Hundreds of YouTube videos


2. Tell the Gossipy Member of Your Family Anything

3. Delete Your Personal Myspace Music Page


4. Your Band Lists you as their Former Lead Singer the Day Hollywood Week Finishes

5. Using any American Idol slogan on Your Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace

6. Make your Facebook profile account Private the day Hollywood Week Finishes
7. Protect Your Tweets


We should have published this last week, before Katie Stevens deleted her YouTube videos this morning, Bernadette DeSimone used an Idol cliche, and Jesse Barry's band members outed her as a former lead singer. Live and learn kids, live and learn.
