Hmm... Tomorrow and Friday, Disney will be auditioning potential judges for their upcoming "American Idol Experience" down at Disney Hollywood Studios. The only real requirement is that the potential judges have a music-related degree - and then the audition process will take care of the rest. They are bringing up two "ringer singers", and the audition will consist of judging them on their critiques, comments and personality. Could be fun.
*They are building a HUGE soundstage for "AIE", and it looks like it could be quite a neat attraction. After some preliminary rounds each day, there will be a final each night, and the prize will be a ticket to the front of the line at one of the regional "AI" auditions for the real show. Kinda cool - if a bit of a logistical nightmare for those behind the scenes.
**But the "judges" will be on an Equity contract, so.... Hmm...
