American Idol heads to San Francisco for more auditions which airs on this historic day when Barack Obama was worn into office as the 44th United States president.

 

Will AI’s judges find the next American Idol in SF?

 

Tatiana Del Toro is a hottie with a huge resume, psychic friend and silly laugh. Tatiana Del Toro also has a modeling portfolio with a “naughty” lingerie photo, according to the judges. Tatiana Del Toro cuts off Simon and ends up going to Hollywood.

 

 

 

 

Dean-Anthony Bradford can’t sing despite his special jacket. The judges agree with my assessment and Randy calls Dean-Anthony Bradford‘s singing torture. The officers at Gitmo are awaiting word to see in their new CINC will allow Bradford‘s music to be used during interrogations.

Jesus Valenzuela says his kids told him to audition. Simon cuts him off saying Jesus can’t win. The judges call for the kids with their “love” signs. He’s going to go to Hollywood — how can he not get a golden ticket with the kids there? Simon sticks with no. Kara and Paula say yes. Randy makes the final decision with a yes vote sending Jesus Valenzuela to the next round.

 

Dalton Powell can solve the Rubik’s Cube, but will he impress the judges. Dalton Powell says he has stage fright. Dalton Powell gets a compliment from Simon despite four no votes.

 

Another male singer sings — I missed his name — and Randy says Paula wants his baby. What was that? Before we can figure it out, the producers have cut quickly to more contestants, including one studying anatomy.

 

Simon and Kara feud. He says no and she says yes. Randy says in a clip it’s man vs. woman.

Akilah Askew-Golstein was the woman studying anatomy. Akilah can’t sing and Simon can’t pronounce Akilah’s name. Kara says “singing is going to happen today.” Kara hugs Akilah and says it’s time to go.

 

Three golden tickets are awarded to singers whose names are displayed for split seconds — definitely shorter than other singers who rate longer segments on the show. Does this mean they are ones who could go far or could be cut and therefore don’t rate lots of time in the initial American Idol episodes? Keep an eye on them because surprises are always something designed to keep viewers coming back. Their names are John Twiford, Allison Iraheta and Raquel Houghton.

 

One singer who doesn’t earn a golden ticket is Annie Murdoch. Annie Murdoch sings and makes Kara wince. Simon says its was Annie Murdoch was singing while drunk.

 

Adam Lambert is on the cast of Wicked. Paula likes Adam Lambert‘s singing. Simon says Adam Lambert is theatrical, but Simon says yes along with the rest of the judges. Paula says Adam Lambert is awesome.

 

A son who is taking care of his sick mom is featured as the last contestant. Kai Kalama sings Some Gets In Your Eyes by the Platters. The judges are digging it, except Simon says Kai Kalama needs more stage presence because he sounds like a ship’s singer. Kai Kalama gets four yeses and some advice from Simon to watch Simon as an exemplar of confidence.

 

Twelve make it through to the next level of American Idol as we all await anxiously to see the auditions from Churchill Downs, complete with a frightening audition that features some sort of threat, according to the promos.
