Hello San Antonio, Texas! It’s the last stop before Hollywood and the 11,000 contestants came from all over the country to grace the audition room and try to win over the judges.
AC/DC, Billy Idol, and Ozzy he’s not but Bryan Kyrish tried to scream his way to Hollywood. Actually I think I enjoyed the yelling more than the singing. But somehow I don’t think this guy can pull off ABBA week. He left the room with a smile and with class instead of some of the folks to come.
Very pretty twenty-four year old Haley Scarnato realizes that there are folks out there are better than her but seems pretty secure in her own ability, which is not too bad by the way. She’s hot and can sing and Simon’s eye brows rose as soon as she entered the room. Not a big surprise that she’s on her way to Hollywood although she needs to kick up the unique factor according to Simon. And you know what? Once again I agree with the man in the black T-shirt.
Jasmine Holland was shy and unfortunately because she was poured into her bright red gauchos, Simon and Randy started the laughing pretty quickly. Then the laughing continues through the horrible audition. I agree that the laughing off the bat was ridiculous but this one left with no class accusing Randy and Simon of being nothing. Well, I guess these two nothings are two of the richest nothings around.
Baylie Brown, the real country girl, has an amazing voice and doesn’t sound like a copy-cat of anyone. She’s blonde and pretty and has a gorgeous smile. She’s got an adorable personality and Simon accuses her of being Commercial with a capital “C” which she wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or not. I can’t wait to see what she does in Hollywood.
Cousins William Green and Akron Watson were really cute. Unemployed and hoping for their big chance William we first and had the judges laughing hysterically. You know what? Randy is the worst of the trio this year at laughing at people. What’s up with that? William wasn’t at all surprised that he didn’t get through and announced to the judges that he was going to put on a show for the cameras outside the audition room and he left yelling and screaming insults. Poor cousin Akron Watson wasn’t sure what to think. He walked in very tentatively like he wasn’t sure if he wanted to audition or smash one of their head in. But boy once he started singing…what a pleasant, pleasant surprise after William. But Simon was bored again so Akron kicked into another song that must have impressed him because after that he’s on to Hollywood. Well, at least one of the cousins will represent.
Bluesy, soulsy Sandie Chavez has been singing since she was six at talent shows and various other venues including singing for the major of Houston. I knew as soon as they showed this clip of her talking about everything she had done previously she had to be awful. And she was! Simon asked if she was serious and Sandie just burst into tears.
Ashlyn Carr was beaten in high school because she had a good voice. She had a concussion and she blacked out. Wow. She’s gorgeous with a beautiful smile and she’s full of personality when she sings. Her voice reminds me a little of a young Lauren Hill. How could these people turn her down? She did have strange expressions on her face during her song but she could sing. I cannot believe they wouldn’t give her another chance. Are all three of them drunk?
But…they decide they made a mistake with this one and have her come back in. This is a first. Is it? I didn’t watch this portion of American Idol for the first several seasons. But I’m so glad they asked her back in. I’m also so glad that they gave her a chance in Hollywood. I’m sure that there are several performers currently on the charts that also have bad habits. It’s all a matter of opinion. Look at Taylor’s dancing! So glad, so glad, she’s going on to Hollywood. I love her voice!!!
I know its cliché, but…Last but definitely not least, Jimmy McNeal sang his way into my heart. He was fun and full of personality and great smile and I think he’s got a good chance at making it through Hollywood!!
Tomorrow night sounds like it will be a show full of weirdos. Although Simon says at one point that someone has a great voice in the previews, I still think it will be full of losers. We’ll see.
Don’t forget to vote for our very own Online Idol. These are folks from your neck of the woods who are waiting anxiously to see if they get voted out or they are on to the semi-finals. Vote Here!

Well, I unfortunately missed the majority of the show last night - mostly due to the weather. So, I only saw the last few people and out of them - the last guy was my favorite. He seems like he’s got a fun personality and I can see him going pretty far. I’m glad that we’re going to Hollywood next week. The bad singers are starting to wear on me now. Bring on the talent!
