The second hour kicks off with a very excited 24-year old named Cheryl K. Katy says it was beautiful to witness a healing in front of them and the judges give her a golden ticket on the eve of the songstress’ birthday.ĩ:05 p.m. It was an emotional tribute and Lionel loved the performance. Ash begins strumming her guitar and lays out a song depicting her fathers addictions and life story, quickly bringing everyone to tears. He has no idea she wrote a song for him and is a bit surprised. Next is Ash Ruder, a 21-year old singer/songwriter who has penned a song for her father on his birthday. The judges reject him and give him false hope that he could become a choreographer before sending home emptyhanded.ĩ:00 p.m. ![]() Katy loves his personality (and he’s definitely fun) but the guy has no chops. He’s singing “Dynamite” and confirms my worst fears as he misses every note while dancing in his golden shoes. The next artist in front of the judges is 27-year old Anthony Key, a boyband-inspired singer who is already giving me anxiety for how bad I think he’s about to embarrass himself. She gives him a “yes,” Luke gives him a “no” and Lionel decides to put him through to Hollywood.Ĩ:50 p.m. She tells the singer to play to his strong suits and think about the stage he’s on. ![]() Katy feels the men on either side of her ready to pull the plug on Beane, so she interjects and calls him a ball of sunshine who has something very special. Rogers, but says he’s not sure it works for “American Idol.” Luke calls him infectious, but agrees with Lionel. It’s a little awkward, but the judges are smiling and the guy can sing. He’s singing “Wait for the Moment” and he has a really good voice, but he’s acting through it as if he’s in a Broadway show. Next up is Beane, a 23-year old wedding singer from Boston who was inspired by his grandma, who led the church music program when he was growing up. Lionel has some sense and gives her a “no,” but Katy and Luke roll the dice and give her a golden ticket.Ĩ:40 p.m. ![]() She tries again with “You Ain’t Woman Enough” and Katy lets her know she has potential, but the judges had to pull it out of her. Lionel called it uncomfortable and Luke says it’s not natural. The tempo is too slow and she has zero emotional connection. It’s actually a little painful to listen to. To put it nicely, she sounds like a pageant singer. To bring her out of her shell, Cameron’s grandma enlisted her in pageants, which is where she began singing at a young age. Cameron McGhar is a 16-year old from Alabama and she’s auditioning next with a rendition of “Girl Crush.” Cameron’s mother became addicted to drugs shortly after the aspiring pop star was born so she’s been living with her grandma since she was just a toddler. Lionel loves the vulnerability in Michael’s voice and Katy calls him an “exceptional singer” with swag. He’s got a bid of an Ed Sheeran vibe and Katy can’t help but smile as he performs. Their rant wasn’t funny and lasted too long, but Michael is finally singing. Next up is 16-year old Michael Gerow, a pianist who is singing an original song after an obnoxious dog and pony show from the judges (who went on and on about Alabama vs. Regardless, the judges salute Re’H and hand the soldier her golden ticket!Ĩ:20 p.m. I loved this transformation, but her voice is just okay if we’re comparing her to a vocalist of Summer’s caliber. She returns in a short, sexy disco skirt and her persona completely flips as she belts out “Bad Girls” by Donna Summer. She seems sweet and buttoned up, but as soon as it’s time for her to sing she sneaks off to do an outfit change. Next up is 27-year old Re’H, a soldier in the US Army National Guard who is a lead vocalist in their vocal group. Lionel gives her songwriting props and Katy she has exactly what it takes to go far in this competition. I sort of like her lyrics of rage as she fantasizes about her ex driving off a bridge. Laila Mach is 15 years old and is accompanying herself on piano as she sings an original song she describes as an “angrier” version of Barrett’s “I Hope.” The song is one of a scorned lover who hopes the worst for her boyfriend, but interestingly, Laila doesn’t sound country at all. ![]() Tonight’s first audition is from a New Yorker who was inspired by Season 16 finalist Gabby Barrett.
