It's just been a few weeks since American Idol crowned it's 8th season winner, but it's already time for auditions for Season 9 and THIS WEEEND, June 20 & 21 in Chicago, registrations are happening.  Then on Monday...yes THIS Monday, June 22 - it's audition time!!!

FYI...Paula's birthday was June 19 and Randy's is June 23.  Maybe if you take a birthday cake, card or sing "Happy Birthday" to them...it might get you through to Hollywood!?!

PS...yes I know Kara is not in my photo.  That's because I want the Judging to go back to the "Original 3".
