American Idol 12: San Antonio and Long Beach Auditions

Vincent Powell
Great voice very soulful and bluesy. but a little too old fashioned for my liking.
6.5

Savannah Votion
She wants to be a good mom, well girl cover up! haha she really surprised me with her soulful voice it was actually very impressive. Though she sounded like she was losing her voice.
8

Cristabel Clack
Her voice is refreshing and soft, she didn't try to over do it (but how much can you really change up an Alicia keys song). I really liked it but I'm not completely sold just yet.
7

Ann Difani
To be honest i found her story and her husband to be more exciting than her actual audition. Voice wasn't strong enough and kinda bored me.
5.5

Victoria Acosta
I would have sent this girl packing! Her first song choice was a train rec. When she did her mariachi thing it was better but nothing id care for.
5

Papa Peaches
Is Nicki Minaj serious? this guy cant sing at all, i sing better than this guy! sounds like he cant even hear himself sing. And since when does Randy Jackson change his vote?
0

Sanni M'mairura
Black Justin Beiber? am i allowed to say that? haha. Honestly i loved his audition it sounded fresh and new. Also he has great charisma and very confident.
6.5

Adam Sanders
Why does he remind me of Adam Lambert, probably because he sounds like him, just not as good though. It was a bit loud but i think it was one of the best all day. Really wasn't expecting that.
7

Shubha Vedula
Randy Jackson making fun of her name was just, retarded. But anyways i think her voice sounded pretty good, kinda sounds like Christina Aguilera. Very nice runs.
7

Matt Farmer
Now this guy sounded pretty good not great though. But anyways i heard he dropped out of the competition because he lied about his whole story, so what a shame.
6

Jesaiah Baer
Finally something different! seems like every person sings exactly the Samar this season, either country or a big soul voice. But this girl sounds so unique and the scatting was great, loved her.
7.5

Micah Johnson
it really does suck that the dentist caused him to have a speech impediment, but this kid can sang. and I'm really glad he picked an interesting song choice and not your typical, A change is gonna come or something like that.
8

Rachel Hale
Super sweet girl, and i absolutely love her song choice of "people get ready" love that song and she did it justice. her control and her confidence when she sings. one of my favorites.
8

Briana Oakley
Let me get this straight, she got bullied for singing on TV who the hell does that?? either its made up or the kids in that school are complete jack asses. She has a decent nice voice lots of power. But to me she just didn't stand out, she could surprise me though who knows.
6.5

Matheus Fernandes
I'm not buying his whole "feel bad for me because I'm short" sob story. Besides that i think his song choice was a little boring but he did sing it relatively good.  it did sound like he was a bit desperate though which i don't like.

American Idol 12: Baton Rouge Auditions

Megan Miller
she actually surprised me since she was a pageant girl i.would have expected her to come out singing some cheesy ballad. But instead she killed it and actually sounded alot like Christina Aguilera. And the humor of her using the crutch as a microphone was pretty good ha.
7.5

Charlie Askew
The audition that alot of people were talking about. Charlie seems like a sweet kid, very lovable i mean theres no way i can hate this kid. but his first song choice sounded awful, pitch was all over the place. His Second song "nature boy" was PERFECT. everyone will love him but hes going to have horrible performances, Sanjaya, heejun, chicken little.
6.5

Maddie Assel
I love this girl because she likes Haley Reinhart so I'm sold! haha but really she has a very nice voice but i think she did a little too much with it, i couldn't even understand the words.
7

Paul Jolly
This guy sounds alot like Clay Aiken singing country music. ehh i just don't think hell stand out enough to make it really far.
6

Calvin Peters
This dudes a doctor, why do you need American idol?! haha and he picked a song that requires him to sing in falsetto for very long , and he just wasn't that great.
6.5

Dustin Watts
Everyone loves good Ol firemen right?  Hes very lovable but his country voice was pretty generic and not interesting at all.
5

Burnell Taylor
Didn't remind me at all of Joshua ledet, like some people say. But i really loved his audition, i like how in his interview he seemed to have not much personality but when he performs hes like a whole different person. Front runner?
7.5

American Idol 12: Charlotte Auditions

Brian Rittenberry
I think every year theres a husky family guy who sings with a big soulful voice, and that's exactly what he is. But hes very forgettable and I'm sure he wont be sticking around for very long. Glad this isn't xfactor haha!
6

Jimmy Smith
Looks like someone that belongs in season 1 of American idol haha idk its just his look. but either than that he was one of the best of the night, he has a really nice voice and very controlled, with a touch of country. If he plays the guitar he can be a real contender
7.5

Isabelle Gonzalez
Okay raise your hand if you think she was surprised by randy Jackson? yeah me neither haha. Cute girl and i like the fact that she plays the piano, but i was a little underwhelmed by her audition. Her voice isn't bad but it doesn't sound mature enough. maybe shell surprise me who knows.
6

Taisha Bethera
I like the fact that she isn't your usual "black girl sings r&b" i like that she sing rock. Her voice is ok but again i felt underwhelmed, she didn't give her song the twist she said she would. Although i think she has potential.
6.5

Summer Cunningham
The girl that caused the so called big blow up between Nicki and Mariah. I like Nicki but i kinda agree with Mariah, this girl obviously has a decent country voice and it wouldn't be smart for her to try to "find herself" i mean this is American idol and if you haven't noticed, people do well when they already know who they are hence.Scotty, Phillip.
6

Brandy Hamilton
With all the good female contestants this season i think brandy to me just doesn't stand out, decent voice but i would've said no. that's all
5.5

Ashley Smith
At first i was ready to hate this girl she seemed like a joke no? and then she sang and it was freakin good! Might have been the best blonde country singer of the day haha!!
7

Janelle Arthur
If theres going to be only one blonde female country singer in the top 12 it should be this girl. i never heard the song she sang but i think she did a great job and her charisma was on point. Could be another Carrie Underwood?? or I'm i putting my expectations too high haha.
8

Rodney Barber
The voice of Charlotte? nice guy but number one he sang a very overdone song and number two i just didn't think he was that great.
5

Candice Glover
Now i knew ever since last season when she got cut, that she would be returning. but i didn't know she would come back this strong. I mean girl could sang! very interesting song choice and just the best vocal so far all season. She needs to have a realllly bad performance to not make it through to the top 10.
9

Ja'Bria Barber
Frog legs? gross! but her voice was so soulful and mature. and she kind of reminds me of Melinda Doolittle no?
7.5

Seretha Guinn
With all these black female singers this year i think she stands out for the song choice alone. i mean fresh prince!? pretty awesome. i wont even say anything about her second song, just..no..
7

American Idol 12: Chicago Auditions

Welcome to the second episode of auditions, this time with Haley Reinhart! ha. The talent of this episode was certainly a bit better than last time and I'm very happy to see alot more girl contestants than guys. as for the judges i think they work well with each other, Nicki is hilarious and just so outgoing but i think she gets jealous of all the praise mariah Carey gets haha.

Shall we?

Mackenzie Wasner
She has a good country voice but the thing is, she sounds like every other country singer out there, very cute girl though.
6.5

Kiara Lanier
She has nothing on Jessica Sanchez, but her rendition of "the prayer" was very good. i loved her tone and her  control was impeccable. she could use a little more time but i like her.
7.5

Stephanie Shimel
I love her tone very soft,  i wanted to hear more!
7.5

Gabe Brown
Holy crap this guy can...yell haha! some might find it very unpleasant but i think he can do well in this show, we need a good rocker guy and he seems pretty legit.
7

Isabelle Parell
One of my personal favorites, i loved her tone it remind me of Zoey Deschanels singing. Perfect song choice but I'm scared she might be out sung in this competition.
7.5

Griffin peterson
His vocals were mediocre but that doesn't mean anything, hot guy, looks shy, not that great of an audition, Kris Allen anyone??
6

Curtis Finch Jr
I Knew i remembered him from somewhere,last season, i think he has a very good soulful voice, every year we need one. Jacob Lusk, Joshua Ledet, and now this guy.
7.5

Mariah Pulice
Sad story about bulimia, and i think her voice is ok but i wasn't blown away.
6.5

Brandy Neeley
I really liked her audition i like her voice and i think shes adorable. but she might get lost within all the Blondie country singers this season.
7

Josh Holiday
This dude has a crazy good voice but something about him doesn't seem...authentic. idk
7

Clifton Duffin
I think his voice was just ok, he definitely has some soul but perhaps he needs more training. potential Fodder?
6.5

Johnny Keyser
Ok here's my problem with johnny, his last years audition was much better. I wonder if hes going to be a who cares contestant or is he going to make a colton dixon comeback.
6.5

Kez Ban
Surprisingly my favorite audition from Chicago. shes corky and speaks her mind, and her original song was sooo good. i really do hope she makes it far, obviously she wont win but she is interesting.
8

Lazaro Arbos
let me just say that he has a good voice but it wasn't that great. with that being said i think its amazing that he can sing the way he can even though he has a stuttering problem. Very inspirational.

American Idol 12: New York Auditions

Welcome back to another season of American Idol!! For the 12th straight year we set out on a journey to find the next superstar who will win over the hearts of America. With the success of last years winner and season 11 being the most talented season of idol, i hope this season can be just as good or even better. I cant explain how excited i am and hopefully you guys will follow me throughout the season.

Lets get started with the new judges, Randy Jackson is well..Randy Jackson haha love him or hate him am glad there is a veteran on the judges panel.Keith Urban i really like this guy hes really nice, funny, and gives great feedback to the contestants. Mariah Carey has been doing ok but for some reason it seems like she isn't fully focused on the show, idk. Still like her though. And last but not least the most exciting judge to ever be on the panel, Nicki Minaj! yes i cant lie she does get a little annoying sometimes especially when she argues with mariah, but she is so much fun and she actually shows interest in the contestants.


Now on to the auditions!

Tenna Torres
Good voice and has really good vocal control, but her upper register kinda sounds too screechy.
7

Christina "Isabella"
Why is her name in quotations? is it her nickname? idk haha but this girl has a really big voice and honestly i was prepared not to like it but she sounded great but I'm not completely sold.
7.5

Shira Gavrielov
I think she has a unique sound but for me it was a little to all over the place and too loud.
5

Frankie Ford
love this kids attitude, hardworking, and determined. he sounded pretty good especially with the unexpected song choice.
7

Sarah restuccio
Her riding on an ATV seems a little too familiar..hmmm..haha but really i didn't like her first song at all i didn't think her voice was that great. When she rapped super bass it was kinda cool i don't think she would have made it if it wasn't for her rapping.
5

Angela Miller
Beautiful voice, Pretty face, one of the best so far.
8

Gunpreet Singh Sarin
Very unusual look but his voice to me was just ok, nothing special.
6

Ashlee Feliciano 
Get ready for the first sob story! haha i loved her voice and i love that she sang a Corrine bailey Rae song. I didn't like how she messed with the melody though.
