AMERICAN IDOL AND SAN ANTONIO TEXAS!

Wednesday night, will be the final “tryout” in finding the American Idol and I, as well as millions of people cannot wait fopr this portion to be over with. As for last night’s auditions?

Brian, who supposedly won a “mock” version of American Idol, sang a Billy Idol song….As he was screaming More, More, More…..I kept screaming Less, Less, Less…I crack myself up sometimes….lol

Haley did her rendition of “ I can’t make you love me” and I happen to love this song, as I also really liked the way Haley sang it. The judges felt she had good control, but her voice wasn’t unique…..She was definitely good enough for a 2nd chance, so she obtained the golden ticket.

Jasmine – For some reason the Judges were all in a silly mood,…yes, even Simon and not much would set them off on a laughing spree. Jasmine walked in and the laughter began, before she even hit a single note….It just escalated after that. Even though Jasmine couldn’t sing, I could understand her being upset at being laughed at as soon as she came through the door. Talk about the “ultra” intimidation factor!

Bailey Brown – Now here is a country girl to remember! She has an outstanding chance at going the distance. She has a lilt in her voice and is just an outstanding singer. Simon stated she was born to be a “pop star” and that she is commercial….with a Capital C! All gave 100% yes to her going to Hollywood.

Two cousins came to compete. First was William who attempted to sing “Amazing Grace”….Do you know the line where it states, I once was lost, but now I’m found? Well, in my opinion, this guy should be lost forever
Then it was Akron’s turn and he sang “A Long Time Coming”. He had a good voice and was handed the golden ticket.

Sandra sang a version of “Black Velvet”, although you would never have known it. Not only was it laughable, but you couldn’t understand a single word she said. She broke down in tears when she was rejected and suprisingly enough, the judges were kind in their criticisms due to this. Simon was a bit shocked after the fact, when he read she was actually a music teacher?

Ashley really cute with beautiful eyes…..and her voice was beautiful…in my opinion as well. The Judges explained they were rejecting her, because she seems to make these strange facial expressions when she sings and they didn’t like the inflections in her voice. She was really sad and left the building with her parents. They panned back into the Judge’s room, where Simon is stating that he thinks they made a mistake with this girl….. was asked to find Ashley and ask her to come back in. Once there, she sings another song, the Judges once again explain her “quirks” and let her know she is going to have to work hard to overcome them and gives her the chance to come to Hollywood. I think Simon did the right thing in going with his “gut” instincts.

Jacob, who had the self proclaimed name of: Jake the Snake sang…..hmmmm, I can’t even remember what he attempted to sing. It was that memorable…lol All I know, is that Simon stated he should be in a very dark room, when he sings this song…lol

The final performance was from Jimmy, who brought an immediate smile to my face, simply because of his smile. He is awesome and a Star from the “getgo”! He sang a version of “Cupid” that was incredible. Simon said he was a “little, fun Ruben” and he said this with a smile, because all the judges loved him! Simon commented further and said he was authentic, extremely likeable and was given the golden ticket.

Golden tickets were handed to 22 very happy hopefuls! One more night! Yahhhhhhhh lol
