An American Idol publicist said they're letting people in early because of the heat. It is a bit hot out here, so that seems to make sense. The publicist said the time audition time won't change Even though the line isn't moving at all, people should be in and out in about an hour and a half.
On a side note, I've seen a lot of signs saying 'I lost 30 pounds' to be the next American Idol.' One even said 'I lost 60 pounds.'
