Selection process
Auditions
In an attempt to refresh the show's audition process, new ways to audition were announced. First is the "American Idol Small Town Audition Bus Tour", a 10-town nationwide tour that will give hopefuls who couldn't make it to one of the large audition cities a chance to try out. The cities are Idaho Falls, Idaho; Billings, Montana; Casper, Wyoming; Rock Rapids, Iowa; Iowa City, Iowa; Bowling Green, Kentucky; Clarksdale, Mississippi; Joplin, Missouri; Dodge City, Kansas; and Grand Junction, Colorado. Idol is also starting the "Nominate an Idol" program, which will let friends and family of individuals they think could be the next American Idol nominate said person in secret by filling out an online form and existing video or URL of their nominee -- they must be singing solo and a capella. The chosen auditions will then be surprised on location by a film crew and given an opportunity to advance to the next round. Finally, online auditions for Season 12 will be open from Wednesday, August 1, 2012 through Tuesday, August 14, 2012.[7][1] Auditions are taking place in the following cities:[8][9]
| Episode air date | Audition city | Date | Venue | Callback date | Callback venue | Golden tickets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles, California | June 7, 2012 | Dodger Stadium | ||||
