      ;
      Everybody
      knows
      that
      the
     
     
      music
      industry
      hit
      its
      peak
      in
      1995
      when
     
     
      Michael
      Jackson
      floated
      a
      gigantic
     
     
      statue
      of
      himself
      down
      the
      Thames
     
     
      River.
      The
      sheer
      magnitude
      of
      the
     
     
      event
      sent
      shockwaves
      around
      the
     
     
      world.
      Nothing
      in
      our
      lifetimes
      was
     
     
      ever
      to
      come
      close
      to
      comparing
      to
      a
     
     
      music
      event
      so
      breathtaking.
     
     
      Everybody
      knew
      this.
      Except
      for
      the
     
     
      producers
      of
      Canadian
      Idol
      it
      would
     
     
      seem.
     
    

    
     
      In
      case
      you’ve
      been
      living
     
     
      under
      a
      rock
      the
      past
      few
      months,
      this
     
     
      life
      changing
      event
      is
      the
      announcement
     
     
      of
      Canadian
      Idol’s
      intent
      to
      bring
     
     
      auditions
      to
      Prince
      Edward
      Island.
