Summary
The government wants to demolish the Blue Meadows Performing Arts Center. To this end, the first ever Blue Meadows Idol (parody of the Idol franchise) is held to raise money, and the entire town auditions for a part in the contest. A few new characters are introduced in this episode: a YouTuber named Stephanie Norfolk, a cranky (but extremely talented) home-schooled student named Connor Parsamian, a punk rocker named Katrina d'Angelo, a timid high school graduate named Wendy Pernaska, and a college junior named Karl Broward, who wants to sing instead of focusing on the death of his grandfather.

Trivia

 * Pamela Jones came up with the idea of this episode after hearing about the series finale of American Idol. The font used on the poster is also the same as font for the Idol franchise.
 * Each contestant sings a small portion of the musical numbers provided in the episode. This is because Caitlin Hoffman puts it together as a montage on YouTube.
 * Unlike the Idol franchise, which requires participants to be aged between 15 and 28, the age range in Blue Meadows Idol is 13 to 26.
 * In an attempt to root for Wendy, Amanda gives the new character advice by reciting a quote from Justin Timberlake: "Have faith in your talents and stay true to yourself. Eventually, it'll all work out!"
