American Idol 8: Auditions Round 4

Tonight we hit the ground running in Churchill town with thousands of American Idol hopefuls. Wageing their bets in front of the judges. Ross the super nerd crosses the line and sucks big time. Joanna takes an emotional journy. Aaron fires up the judges. And the good ole boy has a few choice words for Simon. After a couple of miss strides. Some will break away from the past. But who will stumble at the finish line and who will fast track it to Hollywood? Let the race begin. This is American Idol!

The next stop is Louisville, Kentucky!

Contestant 1.
Tiffany Shed was a sure shot at going through to Hollywood according to her parents. She looks kinda ugly. She says she'll walk out with a positive attitude even if she doesnt get a golden ticket. Singing A Hero Lies In You. Yikes! Simon said it was like 22 horses vs a donkey and she was the donkey. As she walked out, she was in tears. Complaining and blah blah blah. Oooh, make it stop! I think my ear are bleeding!

Contestant 2.
She has been trying to make it into the music business for years. She's hoping today's audition will give her the lucky break she needs. Singing Be The One. I really like her. Simon and Paula gives her a Yes. Kara and Randy as well! I think she's got a lot of potential! I could see her in the top 12. Writing down her name Joanna Pacitti.... lets see her in the top 12!

Coming up, Ross the super nerd! And we have the threat on Simon's life as well! Stay tuned...

Contestant 3.
Mark Mud. Oh this is the guy who threatens Simon. He's had two bad accidents in the car. And almost died five times. Simon asks what kind of gun he has. It was actually his cell phone. Paula says he's not bad, this isnt the right competition for him. Simon said what is? Wheel of fortune. As he leaves he says "Take care and be careful." Simon and the judges took that as a threat.

Contestant 4.
Singing Can't Get Enough. Brent Keith Smith is a country star... much better than the guy before! He was very good. Simon said the song was ridiculous, a bit busterish. Paula and Kara went under the table cuz Simon wouldn't let them talk... All four gave a Yes! I would say he's on my watch list as well...

Break time! Reminder that the new series Lie to Me premiers after Idol!

Time for the failure montage! Ouch!

Contestant 5.
Never had a piano lesson and four years later, he's a really good piano player. Now lets see how he's in singing. Singing I Don't Wanna Be. He sounds more country than Simon says he reminds him of Elliott Yamin from a few seasons ago and I totally agree with him! He's gotta work on believing in himself. All four judges give him the go and he's off to Hollywood!

Contestant 6.
Ross something or other. He considers him an academic. He's a freak. He says it was phsically impossible to learn to sing but he's been using Youtube videos to help him out! He just got a scratchy throat. He hopes he can sing through it... Oh boy. One of the many thing's he enjoy's is singing. Very low.... The judges sing along. The judges offer him a sip of water. The guard went to get him some but he walked up and started drinking out of Paula's cup! They give him a second shot. Simon shoots him down and he gets 4 no's...

Ten people made it through to Hollywood on Day 1 in Louisville! 

Time for another break

Contestant 7.
She's from Memphis. She reminds me a little bit of Taylor Swift... She says the competition would mean everything to her. Singing Dr. Feel Good. She has a pretty good voice. Simon said she was good and had a commercial voice. All 4 give her a Yes!

Time for a break already? 

Contestant 8.
Got a home boy Aaron Williamson. He's a screamer! He's pumped! I dont think he's got what it takes tho.... He's here to be the America's Next top Idol... lol. Woo! He stunk! Had a lot of enthusiasm tho! I mean a LOT. Shot cuts to Ryan saying "What the Hell?" Simon said it was like the fire alarm going off. Simon also says he should do something that involves shouting. Paula said he didnt have it "ready yet". He says it broke his heart....

Contestant 9.
Rebecca Garcia. Singing Before He Cheats. Isn't that a rule? Don't sing a song by an Idol??? Kara said she was voted most humerous in High School so this had to be a joke. Rebecca started crying.

A good montage for once! 8 more contestants made it through so far today. 

After the break we meet the person they have been talking about all show. Does she have what it takes to make it all the way? Stay tuned!!

Contestant 10. 
She's from Cincinnati Ohio! Her life hasnt always been easy. She was homeless most of her life. They've been through a lot. She's stayed at home and helped with the family in the recent years to be a good role model to her family. Her mom says she has no clue what its like to not struggle. I'm hoping she's got a Yes. Her name's Leneshe Young singing a song she wrote. She sounds like Beyonce. Simon really liked her including her song she wrote! Paula really liked the lyrics. Randy said she's what the competition needs. Kara gives her a yes. Paula says No.... Just kidding! She has great potential to make it all the way.

I'm going to go on the record and say top 3 right here. 

Behind every cloud is a silver lineing... or at least a golden ticket. 

Next week, we're in Jacksonville! See ya then!

Out.
