Commercial Real Estate in Memphis and our Galaxy

From The Commercial Appeal:

In all, producers said 16,000 people registered. At least half were singers. Each singer was allowed to take one guest into the Forum, but some performers came alone, so the number of auditions easily could have been more than 9,000.

The show’s executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, said the 16,000 turnout is the second biggest in the show’s six-season history, short of a 20,000 turnout in Washington, but easily ahead of the 13,000 who showed up in New York, the next biggest “Idol” magnet.

Lythgoe said there is “no correlation” between the number who register and the number chosen to move to the next rounds, but he expected at least 200 contestants to move to new rounds today and Tuesday.

Signups are at FedExForum on Friday and auditions are on Sunday.

From the Commercial Appeal:

The route to Hollywood could be paved through Memphis for “American Idol” hopefuls, who begin registering Friday for Sunday’s Memphis auditions. Registration begins at FedExForum at 6 a.m. Friday, and will continue until Sunday morning when the auditions begin at 8 a.m.

The show’s producers warn that there is “no guarantee that everyone who registers will be given the opportunity to audition. If our time is running short, the producers may walk around the venue to pick out people to audition based on performing ability, look, style, personality and other actors at producer’s sole discretion …”
