For those of us who still care about
American Idol after last season, we are anxiously waiting to see who they will get to replace the irreplaceable Simon Cowell. So yesterday when
Ryan Seacrest Tweeted, “Just got audition cities for @americanidol 10: Nashville, Milwaukee, New Orleans, E. Rutherford, Austin & S.F. Tmrw announcing a big change!”, I was hoping that maybe we would get the new judge(s) announcement. No such luck because Fox and American Idol announced that the “big change” is that they are lowering the audition age to 15. I don’t think the change is going to make any difference because as we have seen in years pasts the older contestants always do better than the younger ones because of maturity. That and as we are learning with Justin Bieber, their Baby voices are still changing.
So if you are between the ages of 15-28, here are the audition cities.
Nashville, TN on Saturday, July 17 at Bridgestone Arena
Milwaukee, WI on Wednesday, July 21 at Bradley Center
New Orleans, LA on Monday, July 26 at TBA
East Rutherford, NJ on Tuesday, Aug. 3 at IZOD Center
Austin, TX on Wednesday, Aug. 11 at Frank Erwin Center
San Francisco, CA on Thursday, Aug. 19 at AT&T Park
So now that Idol has announced that they will start auditions on July 17th, do you think that they will announce who will be sitting at the judges table in 2011 by then?
