American Idol, Ep. 14.7

San Francisco Auditions #7 - Going to Hollywood

Katherine Skinner, 15
Weird, weird girl who thinks her cat is a psychic. She made up some weird story about Bowie giving her her coat back in the 70s. Yikes...they need to keep their distance from her. She looks way older than 15. Of course she would sing something I hate...Florence and the Machines. Strangely, it actually wasn't terrible. I love that J. Lo told her she was "cray". Oh man...don't know what to think about this loony toon. But what do we know, her cat was apparently right telling her to audition.

Erika David, 25
Good voice, but nothing special.

Chandler Leighton, 20
Didn't really care for her...pretty boring.

Ryan Pinkston, 27
Very smooth voice, great tone. He sounded a lot like Stevie Wonder.

Andrew Bloom, 17
Again, another great performance of Alex Clare's "Too Close". He made that look and sound so easy. Loved him! Really, really good! And he's so likable.

Kellyeann Rodgers, 24
Very pretty voice, but not a standout.

Reno Anoa'i, 16
Rod Stewart, sung by a Samoan on an ukele = better than the original. I really liked him! I didn't think I would. He's very talented for only 16. And that family...so many people! I love that Harry hid under the table when they stormed in like an army.

Rayvon Owen, 23
He loses some points for me by having the piano accompany him. But his version of Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" was really interesting. He has a pretty voice and a great vibrato. It was a little bit overdone in some places and maybe a little bit on the boring side. I loved the unexpected jump to falsetto. The end of the song definitely got more interesting than the beginning.

Maddie Hudson, 16
She looks like she's trying to be like Lorde with her hair and dark lipstick. Her voice was pretty good, but she needs to work a little on her actual performance...it was a little bit strange/awkward. Parts of it just seemed really forced and shouty.
