American Idol, Ep. 14.5

Minneapollis, MN Auditions #5 - Going to Hollywood

Shannon Berthiaume, 17
Whoa Nelly! She belted that song out like she was trying to scream over a stadium full of people. Her voice was pretty good, but it was a little over the top.

Morgan Ovens, 24
Good voice, but pretty boring.

Gabrielle Noe'l, 23
Not impressed. I didn't care for her style and I didn't think her voice was that great.

Courtney Guns, 23
She's kind of intense as she made her all way up to the judges' table. Her voice is pretty good, but she sounds like a lot of other female country singers.

Vanessa Andrea, 25
So much going on with this girl! Her husband is in the Air Force, she has a 3 year old, a 2 year old and a 3 month old. Yikes! She has a lot of personality, with her scarf as a guitar strap, and all. She has a really great voice, and she kind of makes you just want to root for her. But how in the world is she going to do this with 3 young kids. Oh, and her obsession and crush on Keith is just a tad disturbing.

Zach Johnson, 20
So much energy when he entered the room! Then he sings a slow, soft country ballad...didn't expect that. He had a nice voice, but it was pretty boring, and he sounds just like any other male country singer. I loved that Harry called him out for singing "country" but not speaking "country". His speaking voice was not the same as the affected country sound that he was singing...just another reason why all male country singers sound exactly the same. I can't believe Keith not only said he would bring him up on stage at his concert 2 weeks later...but he actually did it!

Aaron Bissell, 17
He does not look like he should have that voice! I wish Keith would have let him sing more because I was really liking what I was hearing.

Cindy Jo Scholer, 26
She looks and sounds much younger than 26, but she has a really strong voice. I'm a little surprised they were so on the fence. She wasn't great, but they usually really dig girls like her.

Jacob Tolliver, 20
That was some wild piano playing, oh my goodness! Is this a piano audition or a singing competition? He was all over the place like a nut! I think I like his voice but it was hard to tell because he played more than he sang and it wasn't my style at all. I'm so glad Keith asked him to do something else that was more "him". I liked that a lot better.

Hannah Mrozak, 16
Her voice was a lot deeper than I thought it would be. She did have a range though and hit some pretty high notes. She had a very strong voice, and she was a very easy yes for them.

Mark Andrew, 29
Very interesting guy. He obviously has a great voice. Keith asked for another song, and he drops the guitar and does "Be Like You" from The Jungle Book! Whoa! I really liked that one better than the first one. People need to really go with their second picks because those seem to always be better than their original pick. The first song was a copy, but his version of the Jungle Book song was really cool, and showed his really cool style.
