AMERICAN IDOL has added Greensboro, NC, and Las Vegas, NV, to this season's audition tour, as the No. 1 hit show searches for the next singing sensation. Auditions have already been held in San Francisco, Austin, Boston, Denver and Chicago. Greensboro and Las Vegas will be the last chances for aspiring Idols to show off their vocal talents, replacing the previously announced city of Memphis, where auditions were canceled in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
