American Idol Season 8: Salt Lake City Auditions

The judges continued their search for the next American Idol in Salt Lake City, Utah, home of last year's runner up David Archuleta and a swimmingful of Osmonds.

David Osmond is one of those Osmonds. His dad Alan has MS and he has MS and has been in a wheelchair. The famous last name Osmond won't score points with the judges. He sang a song made famous by the group Take 6. It was a bad song choice. He should sing songs made by a solo artist but he gets another chance in Hollywood

Tara Matthews-goth girl and has ESP but hasn't got a prayer of winning this competition after her bad audition

Aleesha Turner-NOPE
Katie Sullivan-Hell NO!!!
Rich Kagel-No record deal for him!!!

Chris Kirkham brought along his friend in a pink bunny suit for good luck. The bunny didn't help him at his audition. Simon got a hug from the pink rabbit dude. A grown man wearing a bunny suit! He needs to get a life

Frankie Jordan has a good voice and looks lovely. Possible finalist. She is a mom.

Megan Kokare is a divorced mom of a 2 year old boy. She has a good voice. Different from everyone else. She needs to sing a current pop tune or a tune everybody is familiar with. Simon likes her and she is his favorite. Potential top 12 finalist.

Andrew Gibson lacked soul in his audition. No chance of being a pop superstar.

Austin Sisneros is president of his senior class in high school. He wants to inspire people with his voice. His audition was OK. He chose the wrong song. He sang a song by Raffi?! Come on, dude. Raffi's music is for 5 year olds. He needs to sing a song people his age listen to. Won't last a week in Hollywood.

Jarrett Burns-Watch out for him--he could rock the competition

Taylor Vaifonua-16 year old island girl looks like a clean and sober Amy Winehouse. Best audition and she has a good shot of making the top 12

Rose Flack's story brought tears to my ears. Rose's father died when she was 13 and her mother died when she was 15. She lives with her best friend's family. I like her free spirit and her soulful voice. Simon will remember her. She's off to Hollywood

13 contestants from Salt Lake City are off to Hollywood

Hollywood Week starts next Tuesday
