'American Idol': Chat with fellow readers during the Chicago auditions

Yo! It’s about that time! To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme. To switch on our TV sets and enjoy the sight of wannabe music superstars bursting into song, trying to showcase their “package artistry,” and attempting to win over at least three out of the following four humans: Randy “1 bubonicillion percent” Jackson, Kara “I’m shocked when people who don’t look like supermodels have talent” DioGuardi, Simon “Fox is gonna back up the cash truck to keep him, right?” Cowell, and Shania “so what do you think you’re Elvis or something?” Twain. Feel free to sound off on this (hopefully) fine hour of (hopefully) family television in the comments section, and I’ll be back to post my instant reaction to the episode at PopWatch (around 9:20 p.m. EDT) and then a full TV Watch recap on EW.com early Wednesday a.m. Enjoy, and if you want to get all my musings on American Idol, follow me on Twitter @EWMichaelSlezak. (Oh, and if you missed it, check out my recap of the Atlanta audition episode, and vote for your favorite on my list of the Top 20 Idol Contenders from Boston and Atlanta.)
