Hey Idol fans! I know it's sometimes rough to have your favorite show go on "summer vacation". But don't fear, there is plenty of American Idol fodder to keep you happy this summer.
1. The Idol Summer Tour. The annual Idol Tour kicks off this week. Your top ten are coming to a city near you. There's nothing better than a live show, right? Click here to see all the stops along the way.
2. Caleb Johnson's New Album Due In August. I've definitely been getting my fix by blasting "As Long As You Love Me" over and over. But I'm looking forward to even more new music from your season 13 American Idol, Caleb Johnson. You can even pre-order it on iTunes.
3. Auditions. Have you got what it takes to be on the show? American Idol is switching things up a bit for next season with city auditions, bus tour auditions, as well as online auditions. Follow the hashtag #TheNextIdol to submit your audition or to get peeks of auditions submitted by potential contestants.
4. Reliving Old Memories. It's fun to rekindle your favorite memories, right? Well, as one of the #IdolTweethearts, I will definitely be doing that this summer! Myself and the other IdolTweethearts are having fun looking back on the blog posts we wrote throughout the season and the amazing photos from our trips that we took.
5. They're Tweeting! American Idol has always been active on Twitter and they continue to share all things Idol on their profile. Be sure to follow along and keep track of the latest news.
6. You Know The Old Saying..... Absence makes the heart grow fonder? I think this is true most of the time. And let's face it, could we really have American Idol on all year? It's sorta like when my kids tell me that they wish everyday was Christmas. No you don't. It wouldn't be special if that was the case. I know the excitement I get when we get close to the season premiere. It will be here before you can say "This is American Idol".
