'American Idol' draws would-be stars to Portland

The Coca-Cola girls are holding red, long-stemmed roses. The Care Bear is standing by, awaiting further instructions. And Christopher Fowler  is shaking his thick, curly hair with head-banging abandon while he, and the crowd around him, whoop, holler and raise their arms toward the blue Saturday morning Portland sky.

Ryan Seacrest walks through the throng, which parts before him, toward a camera positioned above Seacrest's neatly groomed head. "THIS is Portland," Seacrest says, punching key syllables and timing his pauses just so. "And THIS is AMERIcan Idol."

On cue, another wave of cheering erupts from the 7,000 people waiting outside the Rose Garden for a chance to sing their way to stardom or least some TV time. This summer, "American Idol" is holding auditions for its 11th season, but this is the first time the pop culture powerhouse has come to Portland.

Hopefuls from all over the area showed up in droves: teenage girls in sparkly shoes; sexy ladies in low-cut dresses; fans of Christian music; guys with eccentric haircuts; the tattooed and the pierced; rocker dudes; and tank-top-and-jeans-wearers of all shapes and sizes. Some showed up Friday and camped out overnight. Others arrived at 5 a.m. Saturday to wait more than three hours before going inside the arena for auditions.

Katie Froehlich and Aspen Weller, both 15,  came from Sandy. The friends are wearing red T-shirts with the Coca-Cola logo, and denim shorts. Since Coca-Cola has a longstanding partnership with "American Idol," it's not too surprising that Froehlich and Weller are instructed by "Idol" crew members to stand near the front of the group, close to the camera.

"Idol" supervising producer Patrick Lynn  stands on a ladder above the crowd outside the arena, like Evita Peron addressing the multitudes from her balcony. Lynn tells everyone to move closer together. "It needs to look full," Lynn says, talking through a bullhorn to amplify his voice. "I don't want it to look empty."

Seacrest, the host of "Idol," is on hand to film segments that will be included in the Portland auditions episode when it's broadcast on Fox. Trim in blue jeans, and an untucked green shirt with rolled-up sleeves, Seacrest is relaxed and polished, expertly schmoozing with fans and the media.

Production staffers assemble handpicked members of the youthful crowd -- contestants must be ages 15-28 -- to stand near Seacrest as he delivers his lines.
