‘American Idol’ Episode 1 Recap… The Madness Begins!
The episode began with a recap of past seasons highs and lows. Then they introduced new judge Kara DioGuardi who has worked with big names like Jewel and Celine Dion.
Auditions kicked off in Phoenix, and here are the best and the worst:
Best:
Rocker chick Emily Hughes who will have to abandon her band and the European tour to go to Hollywood!
Arianna- started Adopt-a-Grandfriend to keep nursing home patients company & realized that she could sing, is a total 16 year old cutie with a great voice.
Michael Sarver, a complete and total country boy who works on an oil rig and has a heavy accent, who blew the judges away with a smooth rendition of a Boys 2 Men song. He’s awesome!
Brianna didn’t have the strongest voice, but she had the sweetest, most genuine personality. She will probably get lost in the Hollywood crowd.
Elijah had the deepest voice in the history of the world, and though he didn’t make it to the next round, he probably will have a career in voice-over according to Paula… and he was really cool.
Deanna had a slammin’ sensual voice, but the brassy yellow hair and funky make-up need some major help.
Alex is a really geeky, nerdy kid who performed with a twitch but had a nice voice according to everyone but Simon (oh, and he missed a Spanish test to audition so he was going to only get a B in the class).
Scott McIntyre uses his blindness as a tool for better hearing. He plays classical piano, skis, ballroom dances and has a massive passion for music. He entered college at 14 and graduated at 19. This kid’s pretty much a prodigy, and his version of “And So It Goes” was beautiful… He would have made it to Hollywood regardless, but his disability makes him all the move lovable.
Worst:
Tuan, whose idols include Michael Jackson and Britney Spears (there’s his first problem). He did a MJ number and then broke into very akward tap dancing.
Michael was just an all-around crazy, creep, psycho dude who had some sort of anxiety attack after the judges laughed him out of the audition. Be careful, Paula- you’ve had some trouble with the weirdos. Seriously, the dude is so creepy I get chills watching him.
Andre (AKA X-Ray) a persistent little bigger that was so convinced the judges made a mistake he had to be escorted by security after some sort of “swing” show thing that Randy could only describe as “wild.”
Katrina made it to Hollywood, but she wore a teeny bikini and got buck and insulting with Kara when she told her she “didn’t have the chops” to sing the song she chose. Oh well, Simon and Randy’s drool carried her to Cali.
