TheresForrest Gumpparodies starringLuke Bryan, songs about sardines, and gas leaks.
All in a days work for theAmerican Idolaudition rounds.
Were back to criss-crossing the country in the hopes of finding the Americas next superstar.
What can I say?
The heart wants what it wants.
What my heart also wants is to find some other great contestants to send along to the next round.
I dont know, its been 18 seasons, you think people would get it by now.
Lets see who else will be joining us in the next round.
She has great control and shows off some true vocal dynamics.
Lionel tells her she reminds him of seeing a young Whitney Houston sing.
Luke is blown away by how natural it all sounded.
Cyniah is easily making it to the next round.
The power of prayer, people!
She knows her worth!
When she sings, she performs well, but her vocals leave a lot to be desired.
Shes extremely pitchy throughout the entire audition.
If the crowd is with her, shell give her a yes.
Kyle Tanguay, 21, Rochester, N.H.Mercy by Shawn MendesI-D-O-L Idol!
and hes brought the whole squad along with him for moral sport.
It is both fun and overwhelming.
More interesting, Kyle has never sung in front of a crowd before.
He…is good?
Hell have a lot to work on before heading to Hollywood, but lets hear it for potential!
P-O-T-E-N- okay, you get it.
Jovin Webb should probably win this competition, I think?
Hes auditioning for him.
I saw your whole life in that performance, he gushes.
Margie Mays made it into last seasons Top 40, before being cut in Hawaii.
Margie is back this season with a more serious outlook on things.
More importantly, she has been working on her vocals.
There was a lack of connection.
The boys, however, want to give Margie Mays another shot.
Shes back, guys!
Johnny West, 23, Murietta, Calif.Original Song by Johnny WestWell, isnt this cute?
Johnny West here is actually Margies boyfriend, and he first comes in to play piano for her audition.
Then, Margie leaves and Johnny gets to show the judges what hes all about.
You guys, hes excellent.
Its cool, smooth, and effortless.
I love a singer with a strong low end to their range.
Its wild and amazing.
Her singing is pretty great, too.
Katy wants her to come back and wow them with more dynamics in her performance.
Her voice is soulful and has some rasp to it, and the entire thing is just flat-out gorgeous.
Again, you could see the judges getting excited as the performance goes on.
This is what they signed up for.
Shes a year sober now.
Curt saved Hannahs life and here they are trying to make their dreams come true together.
And then Hannah sings and you immediately get it.
All of her pain is there in her voice and it is gutting.
And then Curt says, of course if Hannah gets through and he doesnt hell support her.
Hell always support her.
And now were all bawling.
like dont ruin this,American Idol.
Who are you already looking forward to seeing again during Hollywood Week?
