More American Idol

On with the show! American Idol has now cleared San Antonio, and is headed for Hollywood! Covering the final auditions Saturday, I was struck by several things.

1) We really have a lot of singing talent from the DFW area. I ran into contestants from Waxahatchie, South Dallas, Oak Cliff, Krum, Plano, and Weatherford.. and they were all good.
2) Ryan Seacrest and Simon aren't nearly as tall as I thought they'd be. Paula was short, but you can tell that on the show. And as for their personalities, they're just as nice in person as you would think they would be... even Simon!
3) Taping this show is no easy process. The camera crews are constantly taping someone, and Ryan Seacrest actually does a commentary with "every" single contestant. Taping started around 10:00am Saturday morning, and went on into the evening hours.
4) It won't be difficult for me to keep the secret of who made it to Hollywood, and whether any of them are from North Texas. I love surprises... don't you!!

I stopped watching after season 3. But I guess it gets exciting being in the midst like Brandon was. Glad you had fun Brandon!

It IS very interesting to read/hear your 'behind the scene' comments. Brandon! I think Idol is a little overrated (although I did get hooked on Taylor this season)... I DO LIKE "So You Think You Can Dance"!

I do know for 100% SURE one of the cities that you named a girl is going to Hollywood. The only reason that I know, is I live in one of those towns, and our local school posted it on our billboard. We wish her luck.. January is a long way off to sit and wait to see if she makes it further than "just to hollywood".

I am a reporter for Fox-4. I've been here in North Texas for 10 years now. I love to hear from smart viewers who not only watch the news, but listen too. So with that said... send me your thoughts. Did I cover a story that moved you, angered you, made you smile, laugh, or look at our world in a different way? Let me know.
