Season eight of American Idol is off to Puerto Rico for auditions. On August 2nd, Idol will hold their first ever Puerto Rican audition at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. I think this is great, let's get some diversity going, and get a good talent pool for 2009! Other audition stops are:
-Cow Palce, San Francisco, CA (July 17)
-Freedom Hall, Louisville, KY (July 21)
-Jobbing.com Arena, Phoenix, AZ (July 25)
-Energy Solutions Arena, Salt Lake City, UT (July 29)
-Sprint Center, Kansas City, MO (August 8)
-Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, Jacksonville, FL (Aug 13)
-IZOD Center at the Meadowlands, East Rutherford, NJ (August 19)

Ha, I love how they are going to David Cook's hometown. As if that place hasn't got enough traffic already.
Oh well, it's convenient for Andrew I guess...

I would get excited that their going to Puerto Rico but after the dissapointment of this season, I really don't care where they go for talent.
As far as diversity goes, this season was diverse and it was still boring as ever. Note to AI, I don't care how multicultural you try to make next season just cast interesting people and I'm still waiting for the apology for saying this was the best Top 12 ever, liars.

I'm actually going to disagree with you bigjr. I do think this was the most talented top 12 ever.
This is the first year where I have actually been blown away by every single contestant at least once, save KLC and Ramiele. And then David Cook (who was my favorite, as everyone in the world knows by now) was the most original and most consistent contestant they've ever had. This season, I voted for the very first time, bought tickets to the tour for the very first time, will buy at least one album (another first) and I actually didn't hate any of the top 12, for once.
I haven't been this invested in Idol since the first season I watched (season 2). Yes, I'm a Claymate. Shush.
