American Idol

ABC: Sunday 8p/7C
Host: Ryan Seacrest with Luke Bryan, Katy Perry & Lionel Richie

It's the last stop on the audition before Hollywood next week, but did American Idol save its best for last?

First up, we head to DENVER...
- ... with Katy throwing shade on another talent show that airs on this same time slot on another network.
- Jade Flores (22; Waxahachie, TX) is a country singer who struggled with weight and confidence issues throughout her life, but got both under control as of late when she met her husband. She sings "Strawberry Wine" by Deana Carter. Katy's a fan of her personality, while Luke wants her to start believing in herself. The judges believe in her, so she goes through to Hollywood.
- Jakob O'Brien (18; Oklahoma) is a real American who sings an original about the USA. His voice is bad, his songwriting skills are bad, his jangoism is bad... but at least he got a signed guitar out of the deal, so... that's got to count for something.

Going to NEW YORK CITY...
- Christiaan Padavan (19; Hampton Bays, NY) wants to bring the crooner back with Billy Joel's lost hit "Vienna". It's a simple song sung simply. The judges give him three yeses.

Bouncing to LOS ANGELES...
- Ryan Hammond (25; Modesto, CA) is the son of a church choir director who has lost 170 pounds thanks to weight loss surgery... and almost lost it all when doctors discovered a hole in his stomach. Now with a new lease on life, he goes with Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down". Ryan's got the tone but does he have the control? Lionel likes his uniqueness. Luke thought he was being sold on his voice. Katy wants to take him out of the church with his song choices. Still, it's not enough to stop him from going to hollywood.

Let's jump back to COEUR D'ALENE...
- Chloe Channell (16; Pace, FL) was actually discovered by Kenny Rogers when she was 12. Now she'll try her second chance at stardom with "Stupid Boy" by Keith Urban. She definitely sounds like a professional. Katy thinks she's brilliant. Luke wants her to open up and have fun. Both... and Lionel... send her through.
- Emma Kleinberg (21; Bel Air, MD) puts a lot of backstory into her performance of Allen Stone's "American Privilege" - her brother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and last year he attempted suicide. He survived, but the attempt left him with brain damage due to lack of oxygen. Katy thinks she's the best they've heard all day (C-Note: We'll just have to take her at her word). Lionel tells her "You can't teach confidence." She's through...
- Zebulon Spencer (27; Dudley Shoals, NC) is... a professional clogger. He'll try and keep his feet still while singing "Porch Swing Angel" by Muscadine Bloodline. Luke thinks he's "an inch away from being incredible". Katy sees him as a project, one they're willing to send to Hollywood.

Back to LA...
- Jorgie (23; Los Angeles) was 18 when he moved to LA from Israel and has lived an out and proud life ever since... something his family doesn't know yet. He sings "Heaven", an original song written for a guy named Jeffrey. His falsetto is a little grating, but Lionel and Katy liked the performance, and Luke was impressed as well. He's through.
- Nick Merico (22; Miami) is used to the spotlight, having been on the Nickelodeon show "Every Witch Way". He's trying his hand at singing today with Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" on the piano. Of course he's going to be a little dramatic with the vocal, but he has the looks and the talent to win an audience. He's through.
- Goth chick Lady Mapo (?) thought last year was boring because it was "too American". Well... this just took a turn for the extremely meta, because guess who this chick is? It's last season's winner MADDIE POPPE! Joining her in a montage of drop-ins are Catie Turner, Noah Davis, and Caleb Lee Hutchinson...
- ... and his friend Jared Sanders (20), a firefighter who wants to follow in his friend's footsteps. He delivers George Strait's "The Fireman"... but he's not near as close to Caleb as he thinks he is. Lionel isn't blown away by his voice. Katy wants him to dig a little deeper. Lionel sees potential and says yes. Katy doesn't, and says no. It's up to Luke... and it's a no.
- And we're down to the last one.... Jackson Gillies (19; Santa Barbara, CA), who has hidradenitis suppuravita, which cuases deep, painful skin abscesses. And he's also diabetic. But he continues to live his life, and he pours that positivity into his "Make It Rain". Lionel calls him inspiring. Katy says to dig in, because he's off to Hollywood!

At the end of the day, over 150 golden tickets to Hollywood were handed out during auditions. But by the end of hell week, 110 of them will be taken back.
