A LIVERPOOL schoolboy today told how a chance audition during a summer holiday in Disneyland Florida won him a place on hit talent show American Idol. Joe Slater was given a golden ticket to the televised later rounds of the show when he made a spur of the moment decision to try his luck at the Orlando Disneyland audition.
Joe’s family, from Fieldton Road, Croxteth, is now saving hard to send him to the USA at the end of August so he can pursue his dream of performing before judges such as Jennifer Lopez and former Aerosmith frontman Steve Tyler. Talented Joe was visiting Disneyland with his grandparents on a two-week holiday to Florida in July.
