Auditions
TexasLady:
I found most of the audition shows lacking because I'm not sure we are seeing the best of the singers. I don't know why that is unless it's the shortened time, one hour instead of two. Maybe we griped too much about the bad auditions. :lol: They did seem to put a lot through though this year didn't they.
bee1233:
I agree. It seems they have over a hundred to Hollywood by now. My opinion several should not have made it through but maybe they wonder if most will choke with Hollywood pressure.

Right on! There are always those who just can't take the pressure and crumble, some you wouldn't think would let it happen.

Denver Auditions
February 2, 2010
Guest Judge: Victoria Beckham (Posh)
Day 2 was pretty much horrible but a few standouts.
Casey James, 27, a Texas musician. He got the backstory treatment. He was in a motorcycle accident at 22 and was told he'd never play the guitar again. Simon didn't like his performance but Kara and Victoria wanted him to take his shirt off, put his hair down. Randy said yes but get some star appeal. :lol: (Casey's audition begins at the 52 second mark.)
From Florence Italy, Nicci Nix, 22. She flew from Italy to Germany to Denver to audition. Her song was "Something Kinda Ooh" by Girls Aloud. Simon asked if she had drunk helium but I don't think Nicci heard him. :lol: Her speaking voice was high but she sang much lower. Really cute and different.
Tori Kelly, 16, brought a little friend named Hope into the audition room. She drew pictures for the judges and they made a big deal over them. Tori sang “Gravity” by John Mayer. Simon made the comment that she was a human orange. (She wore a long orange dress.) However she sang well and the other judges liked her.
HMMM there was an 11 year old Tori Kelly on America's Most Talented Kid, is she the same Tori?
Last but best for me, Haeley Vaughn, 16 years old. She got the backstory treatment. She wants to be the first black pop country main stream singer. Really cute. I think she will go far.
I'll spare you the Bikini Boy. The judges fled and rightly so. There's only one Bikini Idol and that's reserved for our infamous Bikini Girl!

Good pick up on Tori! Looks to be for sure the same to me...
