And another thing...

Those American Idol people made a lot of fun of Seattle while they held the auditions there. I wonder how they pick the cities.

Admittedly, like I said, I have never seen this show before, and am feeling too lazy to bother looking up audition locations from the previous five seasons.

This season's audition locations, according to the American Idol website, were Seattle, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Memphis, Birmingham, New York, and San Antonio.

My suggestion for Season 7? Hold auditions in New Orleans. Apparently, it's time for the world of pop culture to attempt to help rescue this city from its post-Katrina state. And New Orleans has always been known as a musical city. Kinda like Memphis, where (according to the preview for next week's show) Simon, Paula, and Randy found all kinds of talent.

After all, if Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie "love it there," so much so that Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh are permitted to attend school there, then it should definitely be good enough for American Idol.
