With Puerto Rico and Phoenix on the list, expect some hot latinos/latinas on next year's show. Yay. And as a Kentuckian, I'm excited to see what talent the area is hiding.

I don't expect to make it as far as the first hurdle, but it should be an interesting experience. This will be the first time that Idol auditions have been held in Kansas City, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Jacksonville, Louisville, and PUERTO RICO! San Francisco and the New York metropolitan area have hosted before. I was hoping that Puerto Rico would play host to an Idol audition.

The Puerto Rican diva from LAI2 was amazing and totally robbed. She came in 3rd place. How fitting. Last Edited By: Destinys Champion 06/26/08 09:26 PM. Edited 1 times.

A season where one of Will's favorites could finally potentially win. If a beltin' diva-sistah goes to Puerto Rico to audition, I think the entire world will hear that Will-gasm.

OH and let's not forget they'd probably pick the Novella blonde latinas over anything else. eta: Destinys Champion wrote: That's interesting that Puerto Rico is having AI auditions�because they also participate in Latin American Idol.

The judges will come when they film the contestants who survive the first round. AI producers apparently promised the same exposure that US cities get, so I take it that Puerto Rico auditions will get their own episode.

Posts: 632 (06/29/08 11:13 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	The list is a nice collection of cities that have either been missed (Louisville/Cincinatti and Jacksonville were on my informal list of cities they needed to try), have produced top 2 finalists (Phoenix, Salt Lake City) or which are due for a repeat (New York City). San Juan is the unexpected one. Hopefully the people they find there won't be as clueless as Zayra Alvarez on Rock Star: Supernova. One potential problem: what do they do with people that have gotten recording contracts with companies that only distribute CDs IN PUERTO RICO? They'd better decide that before they start. If they decide those singers ARE eligable they will be faced with a repeat of the Carly situation.
