American Idol :(

I'm happy that American Idol is letting people of the age of 15 audition.But I'm highly upset that I can't audition until next year. Some of the places for auditioning is also way farther away from home than I thought they would be. I'm also worried that this might be the last year of American Idol. If my suspicions come true than my likleyhood of getting heard is slim to none. IDK what to do.
