Air Date: Thursday, January 27, 2011 [8-9pm]
Audition City: Nashville, TN
The hour starts off with Darius Thomas giving a terrible audition; some sort of long drawn-out screech.This audition stop in the country music capital of the world, Nashville, TN, was held at the historic Ryman Auditorium, former home of the Grand Ole Opry.
My Favorites/Best of the Night:
- Lauren Alaina - "Like We Never Loved At All" (15-years-old)
- Her cousin, Holly, had a brain tumor; she is in the room when Lauren sings.
- After receiving three yeses, the judges invite her family in. Lauren sings Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" with Steven joining in.
These auditioners won't last long in the competition:
- Jackie Wilson - Aretha Franklin song
- Chelsee Oaks & Rob Bolin
- This duo are exes. They first perform together, then individually. Neither one is particular that good. I'm not sure about Chelsee, but Rob won't be around much longer.
Not deserving of a Golden Ticket, but a judge caves yet again:
- Stormi Henley - "Father Can You Hear Me"
- She was Miss Teen Nashville or something like that. Her voice is not strong enough. After Steven Tyler votes yes, Jennifer Lopez does the right thing and votes no. It seemed at first that Randy Jackson didn't prefer her. But when he became the deciding vote, he caved in and sent her to Hollywood.
I didn't hear them say how many were sent to Hollywood; does anyone know?
About three or four times, Randy really stepped up his game and bluntly told the truth, Simon-style. Steven and Jennifer kind of got on his case about being him being too harsh.
Next Wednesday (I want to type Tuesday, because I'm still getting used to the show being on a Wed/Thu schedule now), American Idol makes a stop in Austin, TX (8-9pm). See ya then...
