Finally, 147 contestants who already got a golden ticket to Hollywood do the next step of being American Idol, and ready to perform at Kodak Theater. They can sing whatever they want to sing, and there’s also a Boot Camp with the vocal coach and make-up artist. The thing that every contestant must really really think about it is picking the right song to sing, because it could be the end of their journey.
On the first line, there’s Lil Round, mother of three children who has fantastic voice on the audition week, she sang I Will Always Love You by Withney Houdson and she made it, she goes to the next round, but not to Dennis Bingham, he must stopped his journey and go off with deep dissapointment to the judges.
The Next Line, there’s Nathaniel Marshall, and Anoop Desai, who previously comes to the audition room with short and flip-flop, but actually, his voice really really blown away, the other is Rose Flack and sweet Jasmine Murray who sang The Trouble With Love Is by Kelly Clarkson, and also the cute Michael Castro, brother of Jason Castro, the fourth contestant of American Idol 7. They all made it and go to the next round. Yippieee….he’s already become my Idol.
A hard criticism comes from Simon Cowell to Von Smith, Simon said : “horrible song, horrible performance, and very annoying” but the judges give him opportunity to go to the next round together with Stephen Fowler, and Jorge Nunez from Puertorico, Jorge perform much better than the audition.
Song Pick is the serious issue for every contestant, they must pick a right song to perform, because there will be no chance anymore. But….

Do you remember Nick Mitchell or Norman Gentle from New York audition, how about him ? On this performance he sang a song by Jennifer Houdson, from the Original Soundtrack of Dreamgirls, And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going with his very funny style, he shout to Seacrest and the audience (the other contestants) loves it also the three Judges, Paula, Kara and Randy, and I think he’s really entertaining, and surprisingly, he goes to the next round….Yeah GO Norman ! or Nick or whatever….

The Blind man Scott MacIntyre also go through to the next round also Jackie Tohn from New York audition, but if I’m not wrong Cassie Carlson didn’t made it, she’s in the same line with Jackie.

Outstanding performance comes from two best friend, Jamar Rogers and Danny Gokay, who lost her wife few weeks before audition. Jamar sang California Dreamin’ the same song with the audition, and Danny sang Kiss From a Rose by Seal, this two men go to the next round.

How about the Bikini Girl Katrina Darrell ? is she goin’ to the next round ? Yeah, she made it and go to the next round, so does Emily Wayne-Hughes, she changes her song on the last minute, and she pick the wrong song, Simon said that he’s expect more from Emily, but the fortune is on her side, she goes to the next round.

Well, 104 contestants left, and next round is groups performance.

I think this season is interesting, we got Bikini Girl Katrina Darrell, Norman Gentle aka Nick Mitchell, blind man Scott MacIntyre, best friend Jamar and Danny, Anoop Desai and absolutely the cute Michael Castro.

Here’s some memorable performance on Hollywood week from last season, performance by Michael John who sang Bohemian Rhapsody, was very very stunning.
