American Idol 11 cattle call auditions took place at Petco Park in San Diego today.
An estimated 9, 000 hopefuls showed up to audition today, which is actually 3, 000 less than in 2007, when 12, 000 people auditioned at Qualcomm stadium.
I wonder if the glut of competition singing shows is affecting the turnout? Idol is now competing with the X Factor and The Voice–two new shows that are undoubtedly pulling from the same contestant pool as Idol.
