This must be an act, no?
is not rewarded for having zero knowledge about music or the world around him.
To hell with stability Dannys going to Hollywood!
Now shes back, and shes been preparing for this moment for what seems like her entire life.
As happy as she is to be here, the judges are even happier to see her.
She can belt, she can do some smooth runs, and she has range.
Plus shes a cute teenager.
What more could you ask for?
That math doesnt add up, but maybe Makayla can beat the odds?
Is this story true?
Who knows, but it sounds nice!
And I love a dude who walks around being like Im so nervous!
and Singing makes me self-conscious!
and then absolutely crushes his audition.
Devon has a cool, soulful vibe and Mr. Luke Bryan is very into it.
Lionel thinks Devon is definitely up for the challenge of Hollywood Week.
Devon has zero reason to be self-conscious about his voice anymore.
Hes trying to make a better life for him and his young daughter.
The judges are moved by him.
I mean, Luke Bryan is still crying once Mosean leaves the audition room.Moved.
Katy tells him they want to invest in him, and Lionel says they are all standing behind him.
),American Idolhas a montage for you!
Its because they spot some possible potential and they want to take a chance.
Sometimes it works out, sometimes it is a dumpster fire.
Faith has some soul and grit in her voice, but Luke wants her to take herself more seriously.
Katy wants a more emotional song.
Lionel wants her to stop rushing.
Its a split decision, with Lionel passing and Katy and Luke pushing her forward.
Lets see how she does the next time she pops up onIdol.
Theyre so good and so into each other that it brings Katy Perry to tears.
I believe in love again, she yells after theirA Star Is Bornperformance.
And also that Alejandro might drop the Space Cowboy stage name.
Sophia Wackerman, 20, Long Beach, Calif.Water by Bishop BriggsBless this show.
They play a Belinda Carlisle song after Sophia earns her golden ticket.
They love to twist the Knife of Sadness, dont they?
More than just a sad story, Sophia is an almost-full package.
There are a lot of issues here, but the judges are intrigued.
Katy tells him he has a lot of work to do, but theres also a lot of potential.
Jimmy makes it to the next round.
They are all pulling for Olivia.
But theres no reason to be nervous.
And, like, in the good way.
She has a ton of personality and Katy calls it pure and simple: Olivia is a delight.
That hasnt stopped her though.
She lives a full life but now wants to pursue her musical dreams.
And he promises that hes never going to let Hollywood change him.
Itll be interesting to see him up against much more polished performers in Hollywood.
This is her revenge tour.
And now her life has come full circle.
Ren has a voice I would listen to all day.
Theres a cool rasp and she has some great control.
Plus, there is just emotion radiating from her.
The judges are also into this.
Anyway, everyone is crying.
Next Sunday is our final night of auditions before we head to the re-vamped Hollywood Week on Monday.
Anyone else counting down to that bloodbath?
