Some information from Ryan’s interviews with press at the American Idol auditions:
“I asked Ryan Seacrest who he would pick to judge American Idol. He said a 21 yr. old version of Simon. Wonder who fits that bill?” — Grace White, Fox San Antonio
“Seacrest says lowering age limit to 15 has been good for ‘Idol’. Seacrest said some of the most poised hopefuls have been the youngest, who’ve grown up watching the show.” — Dale Roe, Austin 360
Ryan’s own twitter has been very informative too. He tweeted before and after his flight (and we do like to know he’s arrived safely!), then again on his way to the Frank Erwin Center this morning explaining his plan for the day: Austin texas today. on my way to frank erwin center to see the talent.. I will tape the show open and then broadcast radio show from inside and later in the day he tweeted a funny update from auditions: in austin at idol auds met justin who is wrapped in a texas flag like a cape. Haven’t heard his voice yet and don’t know if he can fly!
