American Idol 12 - Chicago Auditions - Video Preview

The American Idol 12 auditions are in Chicago this week, and it looks like the show has found some amazing talent again! Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey were raving about the contenders.

Lee DeWyze might have some company in the winner's circle from his hometown. I can't wait for next season!

Randy Jackson said: "Chicago was pretty amazing and we may have found some contenders here." (He said this last year btw, but in another city.)

Maria Carey said: "Chicago had a lot of amazing talent... and incredible stories." (JLo said this two years ago, but in another city.)

Keith Urban said: "... if a contestant can connect vocally, that's what's it's about." (Steven Tyler said this last year, but in another city.)

What I'm most excited about? This contestant named "Precious." I hope she makes it:
