FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Yes, they were singing in the rain.
Showers and unseasonable cold winds didn’t stop thousands of "American Idol” hopefuls from turning out Sunday for the show’s Season Nine kickoff auditions at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Some showed up early Sunday to grab their place in a line that eventually grew to the length of the stadium and into the parking lot.
Contestants wore high heels, cowboy hats, and sported umbrellas declaring that they were the next big thing.
Besides having talent, courage and perhaps a thick skin, auditioners must also be between the ages of 16 and 28 and eligible to work in the U.S.
Tiffany "Shorty” Dorsey of Walpole, Mass., believed she had all that. While waiting in line for more than four hours, she used gel and other chemicals to fashion her hair. She promised to sing and dance to "Play That Funky Music” for the judges.
"I’m loving it,” the 20-year-old said.
