American Idol Announces Audition Dates And Lowers Age Limit To 15

With the departure of judge Simon Cowell and the recent drop in ratings this past season, American Idol is making some changes to boost America’s interest in the reality singing competition.

American Idol producers announced that they are lowering the age limit to 15 for this upcoming season’s auditions.

“A lot of young, talented people are now seeking careers and representation before they turn 16,” said “Idol” executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz. “Lowering the age limit allows us to tap into this talent pool.”

Looks like Idol producers are hoping to create a teen sensation like Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus.
