What if you held "American Idol" auditions and no one showed up?! Not
paging Nigel Lythgoe!
On Saturday, "A.I." held one of their typical open call auditions in
San Juan, Puerto Rico and instead of the usual capacity crowds lined
up practicing their awful renditions of tired Whitney Houston
standards, according to El Nuevo Dia, only around 300 fools turned
out. Ay dios mio! In contrast, last month 7,000 wannabe Taylor Hicks'
camped out overnight at auditions held in Northern California.
In other words, don't expect to see a Spanish-language Carrie
Underwood album anytime soon.
