When was idol in aspen

Jairon Jackson also had plenty of personality and that likeability factor. I was really impressed when he chose to sing an original song that he wrote a year-or-so ago. That judges were equally impressed, with Jennifer Lopez commenting, "He's a lover! My favorite audition hands down was Shelby Tweten , a year-old from Minnesota.

Tweten shared the story of her battle with depression and bipolar disorder, and how her love of singing has helped her cope with her illness.

Her voice was captivating and I couldn't help but think her version of former "Idol" winner Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home" was better than the original. Not this season: There weren't that many bad auditions showcased, but one that did stand out was Tealana Hedgespeth.

The year-old twin, auditioned solo, but her sister was there for moral support. I really hoped she would be good, but she butchered a Melissa Etheridge song so badly, it was unrecognizable to me. Obviously, she didn't get a ticket to Hollywood. The worst part of the audition came after she sang for the judges, when she sang a "duet" with her twin, who is going to a school for the performing arts.

It's a mess. Predictably so. Randy literally gets up and leaves for the bathroom, but not before asking him to take his sunglasses off.

Jennifer also gets up and leaves and Steven follows suit. He's never given an actual answer, but it's pretty clear that it's a big no. I hope to see a write-up of this on this hipster's Tumblr or some improv site.

There's no other way to put it. She wants to open for Lady GaGa and then be best friends with her. She also describes herself as a "vintage glitter queen" and I've heard enough before she even starts to sing.

She also gives me a minor case of tinnitus. Randy is turned off by show tunes, but Jennifer loves musicals and thinks that not many auditionees could put on such a varied show. She asks Angie to sing another song, which she does - admittedly, she has a voice, but she still seems slightly mentally unstable.

Randy's mind is changed by the second song and she's sent straight through to Hollywood. So hopefully year-old Jayson Jackson can change things up with his original piece called 'So Hard'.
