According to American Idol supervising producer, Patrick Lynn, more than 6,000 hopefuls registered by 6 am at the Superdome this morning as the Season 10 auditions in New Orleans got underway.

Lynn says they don’t have a quota, but expect about 100 people to move on to the next round.

Ryan Seacrest was on hand today, broadcasting his KIIS LA morning show from the Big Easy (and snapping photos like the one above). Also, according to Idols Now, Justin Guarini was on the scene for the TV Guide Network.

Approximately 16,000 singers auditioned in Nashville on July 17, and the Milwaukee auditions on July 21 attracted an additional 10,000, according to an Idol press release.

    Is the real Ryan’s last name spelled Seacrest with an ‘a’?

    should I believe what AI is releasing as their audition #s? Does this 6K include the 10 friends or family that the idol brought for moral support?

    I sorta believe them because if they were gonna juice the numbers it should have been last year when there were fewer auditioners than ever in certain cities. I mean I am sure there is some equivocation, but they are not the only ones counting, if you know what I mean.
