Kristin ChenowethI wasn't that surprised when I read that last night's auditions in Chicago only resulted in thirteen tickets to American Idol's Hollywood round. Think about it: how many good singers did you spot last night? That said, I'm a bit dismayed that there were only thirteen golden tickets last night--a testament, perhaps, to the unpopularity of accordions and what Randy called "musical boobs".

Fingers crossed, then, that we see more big talent in Orlando. It's only the second time Idol rolls around that city--it seems to prefer Miami more--although season 4 runner-up Bo Bice started his stint on the show after passing auditions there. And I think he's the only one from that batch of try-outs who made it quite far.
