Listen to the good and the bad

Listen to WDBO all day long to hear clips from the singing hopefuls both good and bad. American Idol producers asked everyone to be there early Thursday morning, 5am. They want to get that magical television shot of everyone lined up and ready to begin the audition by 7. Traffic stuffed I-4 in the early morning hours.

Idol hopefuls registered early in the week and they all got tickets for seats in the Amway Arena. Once they get inside and sit in their seats, the pre-screening process begins. Producers for American Idol know exactly what they are looking for in both candidates that have a shot at making it to Hollywood, and those that don't. Friday is when contestants get their shot to sing for Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and the gang. Auditions will go through Friday.
