Idol Chatter: The Season 8 Audition Cities!

Season 7 is already old news. Clyde moved on to Season 8 around the time Brooke White went home, and he's got the scoop on next season's try-outs!
It's been a while since we've had any good Idol news for you, but I think I've got something you'll enjoy. In which cities will contestants be torturing Randy, Paula and Simon this time around? Or, even better, in which city will our next American Idol champion be found? We even leave the United States and bring the search for talent over to Puerto Rico! Take a look.

How's that for inside information? This show will air after the presidential election in November, so...let's hope the entire country doesn't absolutely HATE one or more of these states by that time. Florida...I'm looking in your direction. Anyway, as I hope you know by now, Idol tapes the auditions months in advance of the time the shows actually hit your TV screens. Hard to believe we're already coming up on the American Idol pre-season, but...let's get fired up, because Artie, Julie and I will be back here every week, covering the ins and outs of TV's biggest show. See you next time, and be sure to check out Julie and Daphne over on the So You Think You Can Dance? blog. The guest panelists lined up to join them now that the competition has begun - not the least those yours truly - are definitely very entertaining.
