Unfortunately, little things get in the way of my blogging. Like my job, for instance. Just a little thing. Ha. Between travelling this week, and catching up at work, I am behind on my blogging, as usual. Good thing, the blog continues on without me, as LisaB and Kirsten keep you guys and informed and massively entertained every day with Idol news and chart and sales news (respectively). Thanks guys!
While I was away, Idol auditions took place in Atlanta, GA this week. My blogger buddy Rodney Ho from the Atlanda-Journal Constitution was on hand at the Georgia Dome to blog the excitement–from registration, to the auditions, to first-person audition accounts. Ryan Seacrest was there as was Constantine Maroulis who was appearing on behalf of Garnier hair products (?!!?)
Fifteen-thousand hopefuls waited in line for their chance to audition for the first-line producers and hopefully move on to the producer and judges rounds. Rodney interviewed repeat auditioners, and Season 6’s Brandon Rogers and Kimberly Caldwell covered the event for TV Guide.
Auditions begin today in Charlston, SC. By Thursday morning, 4,000 had arrived to wait in line. By this morning, the number grew to 9,000. The next city on the schedule is Miami, FL, Wednesday, August 22.

MJ,
Can wait to read your account of the shows now vs. at the start…
I’ve spent the entire week seeing different Idol shows. There are many recaps to come!
There is a rumor that the Brittenum twins auditioned and were passed to Hollywood. Please make that be true.
1) who are the Brittenum twins?
2) Brandon is working for TV Guide? somehow the idols always get work somewhere somehow.
3)That rumor that Jennifer-Hudson’s album was scrapped is just that a rumor - and unfounded and untrue.
4) Constantine and Garnier? - how’d he get that gig? Seems more like a Sanjaya gig to me. :)
Seems like Constantine is always hanging aroung AI.
Sammy - LOL! Right, he was at the after party after the final show. But I think AIs are like an alumni or fraternity. once an AI always an AI.
Ewwwwww….just ewwwwww
MJ, thanks for the picture of my boi Brandon Rogers! Too bad I cancelled my cable and don’t get the tvguide channel anymore.
Can’t wait for the recaps!
Constantine appearing for hair care products? Seriously? That guy has got horrible hair. I hope they treated it before he pimped their products.
