They win a singing tour across the country and you can hear them sing when they come around to a city near you.
I dont know when it starts, but It's the top 10.
well, i personally went to the show in phoenix and all the idols sounded amazing! after the show most of them came out and gave autographs and took pictures with the fans... it was an amazing experience!
They don't get paid
I heard they get $1500-2000 per episode until they get booted off. They also get paid for the tour.
None

Yes - all the idols were paid about $100,000, I believe.
in UK, after x factor each person gets £50k for the tour. dunno if its the same for American idol.

He went on an American idol tour. He is one the "Crush" tour right now. He is going on a tour this summer with Demi lovato
The attached USA Today article states that the top 10 idols get to go on the summer tour and they make a 6 figure salary for doing so. For just doing the show, I have not found any reference that gives that information. They may do the competition for free. During the airing of American Idol all top 12 contestants are paid for a number of things. They are required to join AFTA which has to pay them a minimum of 960.00 everytime they are on stage. They also get paid for airtime on top of all the free stuff they get from sponsors etc. My guess is they are all very well off...
