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.
