Season 8 Auditions in Utah

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

For the first time in its seven-year history, this summer “American Idol” will visit my hometown, Salt Lake City, Utah, to audition contestants for next season’s show. The show’s producer, Nigel Lythgoe, told Utah Fox affiliate KSTU Channel 13 that he was impressed with the level of talent in Utah. His other Fox reality show, “So You Think You Can Dance,” stopped in Salt Lake City last winter for this upcoming season, and it’s rumored that a number of Utahns were picked for the next round of auditions in Las Vegas. “He said they had so many great singers and dancers there that they will be stopping there [for "Idol"],” a Fox spokeswoman said Tuesday.

    I am so happy both David’s are safe. I look forward to David’s Homecoming… I sure wish David Cook lived here too LOL.. On May 13th the Top 3, David Archuleta, David Cook, and Syesha Mercado, will sing three songs next week the theme will change for each song. The themes for the three songs will be judges’ choice, producers’ choice and contestants’ choice.
    I wonder which judge picks the which contestants song….
