American Idol holds tryout and noone comes
(Flint, MI) Looking to expand their search for the next American Idol sensation, Fox Broadcasting Company recently conducted an audition in the heart of the bedraggled city of Flint Michigan. Organizers of the audition believed that the close proximity to Detroit Michigan, and the fabled history of the town would produce record numbers for the audition. Ryan Seacrest, host for the chart topping American Idol, is reportedly the mastermind behind the Flint audition. Seacrest claims that he saw the name of Flint Michigan appear in a dream, and woke up convinced the next diamond in the rough was stuck in the bowels of the industrial town.
According to sources in the studio, the entire management team is stunned at the complete lack of interest from the people of Flint. We contacted judge Randy Jackson who said, “We told him it was a stupid idea, but he wouldn’t listen.” In a separate interview, fellow judge Paula Abdul said, “I was like, I dunno Ryan. But if you believe in your dream, I believe in it too. Later I was like really happy and everything when we booked our tickets to Flint. It was exciting thinking about returning back to Flint. I remember performing there on my ‘Forever Your Girl’ tour. It was real sad that no one showed up. I guess they don’t love us here in Flint.”
