American Idol - Best of The Rest Auditions - Update

I'm ready, are you?

Chikezie Eze, Top 24 sighting...only a tease!

Amy Davis, 25, Lowell, TN, Top 24, sang "Blue Bayou"!



Cardin Lee McKinney Top 50, teaser! OK now she's up! 20, Nashville, TN, sang "One Night Only" from Dreamgirls, Simon says No, Randy and Paula say YES!



Joanne Borgella, teaser, Top 24! 25, Hoboken, NJ, sang "I Love You" by Celine Dion, Simon says NO, Paula and Randy say YES!



Alesha Stelzl, 18, Ontario, CA, sang a Celine Dion song screaming, they send her to learn a Dolly Parton song because Randy and Paula tell her she has a nice tone in her softer voice, she comes back, sings "Islands in the Stream" and makes it to Hollywood. Simon admits after she leaves they were right, and it's killing him...haha.



Chikezie Eze, 22, Inglewood, CA, Top 24, sang "All the Woman I Need", by Luther Vandross":



Danny Noriega next and sounds like last! 17, Top 24, Azuna, CA, sang "Proud Mary". He made it to Hollywood last year, but his nerves got the best of him. On a side note, for very different reasons, it seems both Rickey.org and VFTW are supoporting Danny. In fact, VFTW is reporting that Danny and Sanjaya were bff's last year in Hollywood (which explains everything):



So, as we head to Hollywood, I am struck by the fact that we have see ALL Top 12 girls audition, but only 6 of the Top 12 guys...what is that all about? I'd really like to pick some favorites, but at this point it's really not possible. Hopefully in Hollywood...

See ya next week!
