October 15, 2012 By Mark Franklin 0

I’m not sure what this says about the quality of singers American Idol has rounded up for Season 12, but the show is still inviting auditions. And the folks at Idol are making it pretty easy. No sitting and waiting with thousands of other hopefuls in some stadium in the middle of summer. All that’s…
