The Season 9 American Idol auditions are in Orlando, Florida--the home of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios.
Guest Judge: Broadway star and TV actress Kristen Chenowith--she was awesome on "Glee"
She quickly bonded with Kara--FOX should put on a show starring those two--more fun than Paris and Nicole
Day 1
Theo Glinton-what in the world was he wearing?; sang Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker"; screamed the song; he has dreams of opening a hair salon; his dream is coming true because the judges aren't giving him a pass to the next round; ditch the godawful outfits--that's not how an American Idol should look
