Last night we saw AI auditions from Wisconsin and the talent there was very good, especially the younger talent. I was very impressed by not only the singers but by their stories of desire and adversity.
We started off the auditions by hearing Scotty McCreery. A 16 year old aspiring country singer who had a nice baritone country voice. I just wonder how he would be able to adapt to other styles like AI requires.
Next we saw Emma Henry and her story of travelling all the way from Colorado for the audition and how she's wanted this all her young life. Real nice girl with a cool look. I loved her raspy-ish voice and all the character it had in it. She had to fight to be given a chance but I was happy to see her get her golden ticket to Hollywood. I hope she surprises the judges and prove them wrong that Hollywood would be too much for her.
We saw Naima Adedapo's story of how much she wants to be a singer and how she dreams of it while working at a local arena. I can totally relate to her as that's how I think most singers (myself included) feel when we go to concerts, etc. I really loved her look and felt her desire. LOVED her voice! Definitely a favorite and another I can see in the Top 12 this season.
Jerome Bell sang and he has a good voice but I felt he was a little too all over the place with his vocal performance.
This Megia had a real nice look and sweet personality and had an outstanding voice. I wonder if she was just mimicking Adele with the Adle song she chose though or if she can do that with other songs too? We'll find out in Hollywood.
Harvard grad / White House Intern Molly DeWolf Swenson had a funny story of Randy accidently popping her in the mouth as he ran in giving everyone high fives. He totally missed her hand and pooped her in the mouth and didn't even know he did it! Lol. Somehow I knew this multi-talented girl could sing and sing she could, I really liked the smokiness to her voice. Nice!
Day 2 brought us:
Haley Reinhart who had auditioned and not made it last year. Well, she put in the work and gave a strong audition to get herself to Hollywood. Pretty girl.
Tiwan Strong had a real nice style to his voice and a real cool vibe. The real show though was when he ran outside to celebrate with his family/friends and one of them stole his moment because she got a charly horse! LOL!!!! My family and I were dying at how his moment was stolen by Ms. Charley Horse and how he kept trying to celebrate only to keep being interrupted by her screaming about her charly horse! We rewinded it on our DVR, we saw that his family were rolling their eyes at her as if she does this all the time! Too funny!! My daughter went on Twitter and saw that charley horse was trending. I guess everyone else found it funny too! :D
The singing accountant Steven Beghun got through to Hollywood but I didn't really get his voice.
Unassuming Scott Dangerfield had a real nice that was unexpected.
Steven Tyler fan Alyson Jados gave a good audition with her cool rocker vibe.
The last story and singer of the night was totally heartbreaking. We saw and heard Chris Medina's story (complete with video of the day he proposed) of how his fiancee was in a car accident 2 months before the wedding and suffered a life-changing brain injury. She's now in a wheelchair and to his credit, he is standing by her and helping her mom take care of her. He still is hoping for the wedding he planned with her. Totally heartbreaking. :(
He has a real nice voice and made it to Hollywood. Helluva guy I must say. The judges asked him to bring his fiance into the room so they could tell her he made it. Very touching.
