    • We only ended season seven of American Idol a couple of months ago, but now we are already getting ready for season eight. Fox has promised big changes this season in order to keep the show new and interesting. Auditions for season eight of American Idol will start July 17, and our favorite judges will hit eight cities to find this year’s American Idol. David Cook shocked everyone this season by beating out David Archuleta. Everyone throught the younger David was set to win it all, but Cook came out on top.

      The Idols are getting ready to head out on tour today. The city will hit forty-nine cities over the next seventy-two days. The tour opens up in Phoenix, Arizona, which is one of the cities American Idol will hold auditions at this year. No stop in Los Angeles, but for those in California, San Francisco is also a stop. Phoenix might be just a bit closer. Some of the other cities included as stops this year are San Juan, Puerto Rico and East Rutherford, New Jersey.

      Some interesting choices this year. I don’t recall the judges leaving the continental United States to hold auditions before. This might lead to some new talent. I am excited to see what changes Fox and the producers make with the show. It is a still a hot ticket, but there are improvements that could be made. Shortening the airing of the audition process on television among them. For a full list of dates and cities to try out for American Idol, check after the jump.
