I would like to begin by congratulating you and your many empty Kleenex boxes for surviving more than 10 hours. American idol hearings. It has not always been easy, but at least we can console ourselves knowing that most of the people we know and love will soon be eliminated, making the entire introduction process useless. (Wait what?)
In addition to finishing the 17th year of auditions, the episode on Monday also recalled some of last season's big hitters, including winner Maddie Poppe, who surprised the judges (and I, I I confess!) pretending to be a super emo nominee from Nebraska named Lady Mapo. (You have it? Mapo, as in Maddie Poppe?) "Last year was boring," Lady Mapo told the judges. "It was too American." Honestly, I did not realize it was Poppe after removing the black wig. I needed to hear the judges give it a name for it to register, which is either a testimony of the hair and makeup department of the series … or a sign that I have to see my watch from last season. (Let's go with the old one.)
But enough about my long-term memory problems. It's time to separate the 11 most dynamic auditions – except Lady Lady, of course – from the Monday episode …
JADE FLORES, 22 | You can not judge a book by its cover, nor can you judge a singer according to the way he acts when he enters Idol hearing room. Take Jade, for example, who arrived at 11 am and began to tell with nervousness that she and Katy had a "rebel and spiritual bond". (Of course.) I was ready to roll my eyes … but then she started singing. Her interpretation of Deana Carter's "Strawberry Wine" was perfection – beautiful, polite and mature. Lionel pointed out, as he sometimes does, that Jade is more than a singer, she is a artist.
JAKOB O'BRIEN, 18 YEARS | In fact, I repeat what I said about not judging a singer based on his behavior when he enters the room. Of second We met Jakob, dressed in an American flag jersey and saying that he was "just proud to be here". I knew exactly what kind of performance we expected, even though I did not have an original song literally called "Merica". I feel bad for laughing? Sure. But is it stop me to laugh? Absolutely not. I appreciated the frankness of the judges who dropped it easily.
CHRISTIAAN PADAVAN, 19 YEARS | Real conversation: I was do not Expecting this Hampton Bays teenager to succeed on the basis of his superb performance of "Vienna." Billy Joel. If he was a friend of mine and sang it at karaoke, I would say, "Oh, wow, I did not know you could sing." But I certainly would not say, "You're amazing! Go audition for American idolFrankly, I thought we were getting ready for a new "surprise" audition when Christiaan mentioned that he had brought his "shy" girlfriend, who also sings with him. But unlike the other baits and switches we've seen in the past, the somewhat stifling performance of his girlfriend in Britney Spears' "Toxic" was just for fun.
RYAN HAMMOND, 25 | I've always felt that American idol – especially once it's been relaunched by ABC – has relied too heavily on backstories, and this is a perfect example. Have we need know Ryan's weight loss (170 pounds) (by surgery) to appreciate his impressive and unique view of Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down"? Of course not. As Katy said, her voice would remain a "miracle", even though ABC did not guide us through Ryan's story, which was mostly unrelated. That said, it was obvious, and I can not wait to see Ryan again.
CHLOE CHANNELL, 16 YEARS | Perhaps the fact that she was accompanied on the guitar by Grammy Award-winning country artist Billy Dean may have helped her, but this Florida native still impressed. His interpretation of Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy" began slowly, then increased logically as his emotions began to stir. We had a good idea of her range and her attitude as an performer, and I am expecting great things from her this season.
EMMA KLEINBERG, 21 years old | Another Idol veterinarian, Emma remembers having auditioned with her brother Alex when they were "much younger", although much has changed since then. After his studies, Alex was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and an attempted suicide resulted in anoxic brain injury. What does this heartbreaking story have to do with hearing from Emma, ask yourself? As always, not much. Still, Alan Stone's "American Privilege" performance really blew me away – without a doubt one of the best auditions we've seen all season. Even Katy asked, "Was this the whole song?" I could have listened to it forever.
ZEBULON "ZEB" SPENCER, 27 YEARS | Although his name is worthy of a character from Zenon: 21st Century Girlthis North Carolinian who dances hoofs (state champion footer '07 / '08 at home!) has a soul of pure country. His performance in Muscadine Bloodline's "Porch Swing Angel" was all he needed to not feel forced, and he clearly raised his little daughter as he should. (When Ryan Seacrest asked if she would kiss her father if he was successful, she replied, "Even if he does not!") Fortunately, he did.
JORGIE, 23 years old | OK, this one was a lot. Jorgie not only used his audition to talk to his family on national television, but he also proudly posted an impression of Katy who was … well, it was not Katy, that's all I know. I was not expecting much from Jorgie, who brought his band – Jorgie and the Jorgies, I do not care about anything – for the performance, but everything changed when he opened his mouth. In singing an original song called "Heaven", which talks about his unrequited love for another guy who was not gay, Jorgie gave us something beautiful, sincere and real. He has a beautiful falsetto and an original sound. I'm not sure he's in the Top 10, but I'm curious to see how he will behave in the next round.
NICK MERICO, 22 | Former actor of Nickelodeon Every way of witch, Nick worried that his passage in the series made him less serious as a musician, which inspired him to audition for Idol. "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse, from Florida, was "as close to singing as [Lionel had] never seen "and Katy was so in love with Nick that she could barely look him in the eyes. Luke, meanwhile, was just jealous.
JARED SANDERS, 20 | This audition has proven that the music industry is not limited to those you know. The Georgia firefighter is also Caleb Lee Hutchinson's best friend of last season's finalist, who has joined him for his moral support. Unfortunately, based on his performance, the judges felt it was just not the right time for Jared, encouraging him to come back in a year or two.
JACKSON GILLIES, 19 years old | The last audition of the season featured an inspiring guy who was suffering from diabetes and a hidradenitis suppurativa, a condition of the skin that was not cured. He learned the guitar for two months, during which he became too painful to walk, which helped him to get to the other side. His rendition of Ed Sheeran's "Make It Rain" was so powerful and powerful that I had to double check to make sure it was Ed Sheeran's song!
