The second week of Season 8 auditions lands us in San Francisco--The City by the Bay. If you remember, the judges found season 5 runner up Katherine McPhee and the funniest auditioners of all time--season 3's William Hung who has gone on to a successful recording career. Oh good grief!?
The judges hoped to find some San Franciscan talent and possibly a winner.
Tatiana-She hails from Puerto Rico--she should have auditioned in her home country cause Idol held auditions in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Has a contagious laugh. She sang an Aretha Franklin song. She has a very good voice but she needs to work on her personality. 3 of the judges liked her. Hollywood here she comes!! Simon said NO!!!
Nick Reed-Beat boxed--NO--Idol has already had a beatboxer--Blake Lewis, Season 6 runner up
Jiayi Yu-Blah!!...No chance of a singing career
D. Anthony Bradford must have missed three decades of fashion with that plaid 1974 jacket and sideburns. Simon hated the coat. Not right for "Idol"
Jesus Valensueza is a father of two kids. His kids coaxed him to tryout. Shame on you, kids. Their father hasn't got a prayer of winning the show but the kids came into the audition room and changed the judges' minds so he is through to Hollywood. He is capable of better.
Dalton Powell--Can master a Rubik's Cube which is to me a very difficult puzzle to master. He has no chance of netting a record deal
James Smith--HELL NO!!
Aquilla-Biology student has diagrams of a larynx and a trachea. She sang an original song she wrote. Failed miserably at her audition. Simon called her belligerent. I agree with Simon. You should become a doctor instead of a singer.
John Twiford-Yes
Allison Iraheta-Yes
Raquel Horton-Yes
Annie Murdock-plays piano and violin and can scat like Ella Fitzgerald. She was weak at her audition. She oversang the song. So it's no Hollywood and Idol dream for her
Adam Lambert-was in musical theater despite Simon calling his audition theatrical. He is the most diverse singer. Luckily he lives in Hollywood so he gets to compete at home.
Finally, another emotional story, Kai Calumba plays music at night while taking care of his mom during the day. His mom taught him to sing. He sang "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and he has a good chance of making it past the Hollywood round if he steps his game.
It wasn't much of a success--12 people in San Francisco auditions are heading to Hollywood.
What's up, San Francisco--isn't there any talented people in the Bay City
Next time, the auditions head to Louisville, Kentucky
