American Idol XIII Ad Campaign featuring Real Contestants - Photos

American Idol XIII is releasing an ad campaign featuring real contestants. The ads will appear on billboards to promote the upcoming season.

This is the first time FOX is doing this since the series started.

I'm just hoping that these contestants featured actually make it to the actual show at least for auditions so that it's a an ad-spoiler 2-for-1.

What if these guys were actually in the Top 10? That would be a stroke of genius. Promote them early and hard.

Long live American Idol! I cannot wait for the next Candice Glover!

The new season premieres on January 15, 2014.
