PHOTOS: ‘Idol’ Premieres Tonight! We’re As Excited As These ‘Idol’ Hopefuls
Here they are: thousands upon thousands of American Idol hopefuls who’ve braved the elements, the long lines, the exhaustion, and the boredom for their chance to live out their fantasy: to be named the next American Idol. Or, at the very least, to be martyred as one of the season’s zaniest auditioners and dismissed with a Cowell eye roll.
Of course, we concede we’re watching this all from the comfort of our sofa, and we haven’t braved an element since we briefly removed our Snuggie to go into the kitchen for more ice cream. But we’ll be sitting in judgment of these people just like you. So take a peek at who’s been dreaming of becoming the next Kelly, Kris, Carrie, or Ruben. Though it’s worth noting that, to our recollection, no eventual Idol winner or runner up ever had to hold up a wacky poster, wear a kooky “look at me” shirt, or try any other gimmick to draw our attention.
