alabama jammers

It's as close as most of us will get to having Paula Abdul in our backyard.
AI auditions come to Birmingham tonight, and I'll be waiting with anticipation for a "Sweet Home Alabama" loser montage. But that's not the only reason Columbus residents should watch the two-hour episode.
Yesterday, I wrote this article about Devin Johnson, a local teen who tried out for AI's sixth season in Birmingham after advancing to the Hollywood group phase last season.
He didn't get another Hollywood nod, but he came away with some pretty good dirt on the show's mechanics. Check it out.
And there's a chance they might air some of his audition footage tonight. So don't blink, no matter how tired you are of bad renditions of "Sweet Home Alabama."
As usual, I'll be updating this blog live throughout the show.
