“Grease” actress guest stars on the 6th season of American Idol
Olivia Newton John, lead actress of the movie “Grease,” was a special judge on today’s panel.
Hollywood Audition
January 31, 2007. Audition day #6
The first contestant set high goals for himself as he planned o be an athlete, singer, dancer, composer, author, actor, model, songwriter and rapper (and probably more I just didn’t have time to type.) Apparently he was capable of doing anything, which he proved by showing his embarrassing imitation of a panther. To top it off, he gave himself the nickname of ECCENTRIC, claiming that he had the fire of three men. He seemed quite proud of himself on the whole, even saying that he was the most exciting entertainer on earth. I found him quite humorous.
As Ryan Seacrest said, Hollywood was turning “Hollywierd,” complete with a girl riding a blown up horse, and a guy dressed up as a banana. There was also a girl who got down on her knees and cried to the judges to let her through. She was terrible, and made weird faces while she was singing. I thought it was over, but then it got worse when she came back into the room with her mom to beg some more. I felt like I should feel sorry for her, but she was just annoying.
I got excited when Brandon Rogers came on the TV. I was sure he would be good because he had been a backup singer for the last 4 years and even sang back up for Christina Aguilera. I don’t think he picked the best song possible, but he did an extremely good job. He was honest, and very likable, and every one of the judges loved him.
A 64 year old man came to audition with a petition holding 330 signatures of people who were against the age limit of American Idol. He began the petition with his wife, and continued it for his wife after she passed away. He said it would light her up to see him come home with more signatures, and that he did it all for her. It was a very emotional story. She had passed away from cancer just two days before the audition. Even though he wasn’t the best singer, it didn’t matter, because he sang the song “You Belong To Me” for his wife, and it was the most touching moment on American Idol this season. He was a very kind and warm spirited person
One contestant got all of the judges laughing with his high-pitched interpretation of Hilary Duff. The situation became funnier when Simon discovered he had trained with Paula and Randy’s “Learn to Sing like the Stars” video. Simon thought this was hilarious and chased after to find him.
The judges made it sound like there were many hopefuls coming from L.A, with Simon saying that the winner could quite possibly come from Hollywood.
