Road to Hollywood
February 3,2010
One last audition to cover before we start to see the Hollywood eliminations. (And none too soon!) Only a few standouts shown, mostly we saw the rejects and the fake rejects.
Jessica Furney, 20, sang "Footprints in the Sand" co-written by Simon Cowell. (She tried out last year as well.)
Didi Benami, 22, got the backstory treatment. She's trying out in memory of her friend Rebecka. She sang “Hey Jude”. She couldn't keep it together after singing but in a good way. but I liked her and so did the judges.
Aaron Kelly, 16. Backstory, his family was unable to take care of the Aaron and his brother and to keep the boys together they were adopted by his aunt and uncle. He's very young but has a good voice. We'll see how he does in Hollywood.
Last but not least, Hope Johnson, 19 years old. She got the backstory treatement and it was inspiring. She told how she brought food home from her school lunch for her brother because he would cry. She has a beautiful smile, good voice. I hope she makes it through to participate in the show.
