Come Early For ‘American Idol’ Auditions To Get A Chance

The Washington Post reports fans began lining up outside the State Theatre in Falls Church Thursday night before the ‘American Idol’ auditions started Friday morning at 10 a.m. By 6 a.m. at least 200 were camped out in front of the theater, and when the doors opened, 630 people, ages 16 to 24, was snaking around the block. In the end, the first 175 were allowed to sing a cappella for 60 seconds before three judges. Eventually, 18-year-old Ryan Krasney won with her interpretation of Christina Aguilera’s ‘Reflection.’ She won transportation to and hotel accommodations in New York, along with the big prize — a coveted spot in the Oct. 24 “Idol” auditions.
