Are you the next "American Idol"?

If you’re between the ages of 16-28 and think you can be the next American Idol, here’s the audition schedule…

July 30th—San Diego (Qualcomm Stadium)
August 6th—Dallas (Texas Stadium)
August 10th—Omaha (Qwest Center)
August 14th—Atlanta (Georgia Dome)
August 18th—Charleston, S.C. (North Charleston Coliseum)
August 27th—Philadelphia (Wachovia Center)

If the auditions seem earlier this year, that’s because they are. They needed to be moved up since the producers are also doing auditions for “The Next Great American Band.”

Executive Producer Nigel Lythoe said that there will be no major changes to the format, but an effort will be made to get better singers into the top 24. “Too many slipped through the net,” he told “USA Today.”

I hope that means they plan to show the better singers as well, since we barely knew who the top 24 were this season…
