It has been a constant search for the next music superstar for the last 21 seasons. The search continues in Texas this week.

American Idol is looking for great singers for the next season early next year.

This year, just like in the last three seasons, singers can sign up to do virtual auditions before the show's producers in the first round.

Patrick Lynn, a senior supervising producer for American Idol, spoke with KRLD about the audition process.
