THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN SINGING SENSATION CONTINUES IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
Thousands of hopefuls began to circle Austin’s Erwin Center in the wee hours of Wednesday, August 11th of last year, braving sweltering temperatures (and likely disappointment) to vie for a spot on the 10th season of Fox’s musical reality competition “American Idol.”
Late that afternoon, a publicist for the show, Chloe Ellers, estimated that the auditions drew about 7,500 people. That’s about the same size crowd that turned out in 2005, the last time “Idol” held tryouts in Austin.
Supervising producer Patrick Lynn said producers decided to return to Austin “because it’s a music city, and we like music cities.”
