Do contestants get paid while they're on American Idol?!


Question: They still have bills to pay back home so do they get compensated? And does AI pay for their families to come to LA? They all seem to have family and friends in the audience. I know if it were me my family couldn't afford to be away from work and fly out to LA.

They get money for the Itunes they sell. (I bet David Archuleta has a bunch).

They get $600 dollars a week just for clothes. Like for Tuesday and Wendsay

I think AI pays for their Family to come.

Oh and since they live in Apartments now I bet AI provides all their food and toiletries and all that.

Can I please have Best Answer?

I know they get some money for all the iTunes singles they sell.

no. but like those itunes songs they'll get a small percentage of that. considered they're doing a remake of a song so some money goes to the orginal artist then some money to Apple then some to fox. by the time they get to them its not that much. so no not really

I think they do get paid, because if you listen to them speak of being on idol many of then would say they quit their jobs and now they can buy their momma a house, and being able to buy back a horse ect. you'll always hear them mention how they can now afford to do and buy things they couldn't before.

I heard Constantine from a few years back say in an interview that they did get paid to be there. It isn't an insane amount, but it is enough to cover their expenses.

They only get paid when the do the Idols Tour!
