idol auditions were earlier this week in my soon to be city, and my husband and his basic boo showed up~
from an article i stole from ihdg
It’s Season 10 of Fox’s American Idol and auditions went all day Wednesday at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.
Wednesday’s auditions were considered “Round One” of three for those auditioning. Everyone who stood in line was allowed into the Bradley Center to see Ryan Seacrest, Finalists Danny Gokey, and Matt Giraud. The Idol hopefuls will appear before producers, then in a couple of weeks, they’ll go before executive producers and then onto the celebrity judges. Of course, that’s all assuming they make it through Wednesday’s cuts.
[...] Contestants got a special treat: a chance to see Danny Gokey up close. He’s a Milwaukee native and partly responsible for the show producers choosing to hold auditions there.
“There’s so much talent here,” said Gokey. “And we hit it and we’re gonna start seeing those gems come out. It’s really neat.” He got his shot last year driving to Kansas City to audition. He came in third place overall and just released an album.
“I’ve always been proud of the city,” Gokey said with a smile. He hung out with Matt Giraud from Michigan, a success story from Idol Season #8. “My whole life has changed,” said Giraud of his Idol experience. “I’m doing a single with Jim Brickman coming out in a week, called ‘Thank you.’” He added those auditioning Wednesday shouldn’t worry about strategies to get ahead just yet.
“They’re looking for someone who’s original, not trying too hard,” said Giraud.
