Elliot’s audition never aired, so it wasn’t “forgotten.”
But, if you were going to pick a Justin audition, it had to be the “Get Here” audition that left Paula a sniveling pile of mucus and tears.
Katharine McPhee, Jennifer Hudson
All jokes aside, I find it difficult to ignore Clay Aiken’s audition. Here was a kid who seemed to be another misguided fool, and instead dumbfounded the judges, even without Paula’s help.
MARIO VASQUEZ
My two favorites are, by far, Jon Peter Lewis’ Crazy Love and David Cook’s Living on a Prayer.
Most memorable for me:
Clay Aiken, and the start of the big “that voice came out of that person” Idol mania
David Cook, for the hair, the killer voice, and Simon calling him “worthy” and not remembering what he meant by that
Kelly Clarkson, of course
Blake Lewis with his odd little green shirt and spiky hair and beat boxing
Daughtry doing The Letter
Nikko Smith
Definitely Bo Bice should be up here!! And David Cook. 2 incredible auditions right there.
And Bailey Brown!
I know I’m a little late but, one of the best I’ve ever seen is Samantha Sidley! In a world of Amys and Duffeys this girl could have had a career. Her IDon’t know was fantastic and layed back! So cool. I would’ve loved to see her bring some of that to the theme weeks
