American Idol

I grew up just north of Kansas City, Mo and when I heard they were holding auditons for American Idol the same week I was home on vacation, I thought it would be fun to "Crash" the auditions and get a little behind the scenes video. If you have seen the promos on FOX you can even see me in one of them if you squint really hard and don't blink because it goes by really fast...I'm next to the flagpole.(It's the only way I knew where to look). I was not there to audition ...or sing anyway, but while I was there I got to talking to one of the producers and she asked me to do a line for the show. There were a lot of different takes that did not make it to air from the Kansas City show like the video below,and several other bits they spent 2 hours getting the crowd to participate in..We were asked to do several takes on, "Kansas City Rocks" "Welcome Back To Kansas City" "Look What's Cooking In Kansas City, several countdowns from 10-1 all followed by several minutes of cheering..none of that made it..and my "American Idol, Welcome Back To Kansas City" got cut out of the show as well. It was actually a relief to know they didn't use it and make me look stupid...I'll find out February 10th if I made it onto the DVD for "W" "deleted scenes" **crosses fingers**
