American Idol swung into week 3 with a few potenial winners. They didn't show enough bad performers, of which I take delight in these audition shows. There is always the set-up, which they try to pass off as spontaneous but really isn't. And, of course, there's always at least one emotional story that tugs at the heartstrings.
The potential winner i really liked was a nurse who can sing, who movd to Nashville from the Ohio area. She is pretty and can sing! She brought along her boyfriend, also a singer/songwriter from Nashville. At this stage, names come and go, but I'm sure I'll catch her in Hollywood.
If they devote a segment to your story, or even spend the time showing your audition among the hundreds, you have a pretty good shot. Remember, they already have whittled their contestants down to 24, so they can pick and choose the ones you'll see in the months to come.
The set-up was Ryan Seacrest (with camera) meeting a young girl sitting outside the audition place in Savannah, Georgia. Somehow she messed up the arrival time and was past due. Still, she waited, hoping to get lucky. Seacrest took her inside and got her a special audition. She made it to Hollywood, and that was the feel-good story of the week.
The emotional story was a girl who tried out several years ago, didn't make it, but returned. Her sister supported her then. Since the first audition the sister died in a car crash. This time the contestant sang an emotional rendition of Michael Bolton's "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You?" Her rendition was just okay. She made it to Hollywood.
More auditions next Sunday. Hopefully they end in two weeks. Time to move on to Hollywood week.
