Not just to audition.
But for your DREAMS.
And when you cant do that, you pray theIdolaudition bus comes to you.
And thats what were following this week: the bus (of dreams).
Baltimore
Miranda Poh Scottis the first auditioner of the night.
If youre wondering whether theres any connection between her name and the Teletubby, youd be correct.
She literally got the nickname from her favorite Teletubby (Im a Dipsy man myself, but whatever).
Fortunately, the better part of the performance was unique and interesting, and the judges agree.
Poh is going to Hollywood, like her sister did one year ago.
Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, and Laa-Laa are undoubtedly dancing in the sun (baby) somewhere in celebration.
We get another montage of singers who areclearlyauditioning to keep the show entertaining.
He yells, This show put me where Im at today!
Thats when I Google whether Clay Aiken still holds office in North Carolina.
Amelia Eisenhauer, 15,didnt bring a wrap dress, but she does showcase her katana before auditioning.
She leaves it behind for the audition, though, and brings along her fiddle.
Shes from Nashville and sings Annie Lennoxs version of Many Rivers to Cross.
Like, I dont even care that she brought a katana.
She reminds me of a undeveloped Bonnie Raitt, and admittedly, Im really down with the fiddle.
She gets three yeses, and she takes her gangly self out the door and on to Hollywood.
Is she going to win?
The odds arent particularly in her favor.
But I do think she has potential to have an incredible career.
They have some sick ponytails, and Imhere.
it.They decide to sing Automatonic Electronic Harmonics together, which Keith compares to a Gregorian acid trip.
It was interesting, but I wouldnt say its remarkable.
Her audition song this year is Careless by RaeLynn.
She has a classic country lady voice, and I truly believe she could have a career.
Its refreshing, and she earned her ticket to Hollywood.
And with that, we have only one more audition episode left before heading to Hollywood.
No more William Hungs or new Carrie Underwoods, singing amazing renditions of I Cant Make You Love Me.
Its a hallmark of January television, but alas, all good things must come to an end.
Maybe theyll come to a particularly outstanding end tomorrow.
Thats our last shot.
