Think you could be the next David Cook, Carrie Underwood or – gasp – Sanjaya Malakar? The Journal-World is hoping to find that person in the Lawrence area. “American Idol” auditions take place on Friday, Aug. 8 at Kansas City’s Kemper Arena. If you are 16 to 28 years old, post a video audition on the Journal-World’s YouTube channel by Monday. We’ll determine the contestant with the best chance of cruising through the audition process and accompany you during the ordeal. Once you’ve posted your audition, send your information to entertainment editor Jon Niccum at jniccum@ljworld.com.
