American Idol returns tonight and they head to the City of Roses Portland, Oregon tonight in search of the next American Idol. This is Idol’s first trip to Oregon. This week will be the final week of auditions. After tonight’s auditions, the show will move to St. Louis, Missouri — and then it’s off to Hollywood Week!

Last week at the end of the Houston, Texas auditions 54 people were given their golden tickets to Hollywood. If you missed the episode you can read our recap and see all IDOL news here!

Ryan Seacrest called the Portland auditions ”an inspirational evening you won’t want to miss.” Here’s hoping tonight’s episode is a little more entertaining than some of the others have been.
