Tonight was another AI auditions night, this time from Portland.
There were some good singers from these auditions but I wish we were shown more good singers. Here are some of the notables.
Brittany Zika has a very good voice and a cute look.
Self professed 6'8" mama's boy Jermaine Jones had a real nice baritone voice. Really nice guy too, a real gentle giant. I hope he goes far.
Britney Spears lookalike Britnee Kellogg had a good voice and since I'm a Britney Spears fan, I obviously thought she had a good look. ;)
We got a sad backstory on Romeo Diahn from Liberia. It's good for shows like AI to show what people of other countries go through in their quest for freedom and a normal life. Things that are taken too much for granted sometimes in our country. He had a very nice world music type voice. I don't think he'll go far in Hollywood but sometimes just that validation is all the motivation you need to continue to reach for your dreams.
Naomi Gilles did Aerosmith's "Cryin" which isn't an easy song to sing. She showed a real strong voice.
Jessica Phillips was shown to us last. She had a very sad story of her boyfriend having a stroke at a very young age. It was also a very touching love story of them staying together and trying their best to work through it and being there for each other. I wanted her to get through to Hollywood and she did but I wonder what the pressures of Hollywood will do to the relationship? Hopefully it'll only make them stronger. I found that she sounds like Mary J and picked a perfect song to audition with.
