Tonight's episode of American Idol held auditions in Aspen. Though cold in Aspen, there were a few contestants auditions sure to warm you right up. There were a couple of shockers, a tearjerker and what the hell were you thinking. Out of all the Aspen contestants, the following four were the ones that stood out for me. There was some really great talent this evening.
Haley Smith - Country girl working three jobs. Haley's got a very natural feel and some soul. She's not afraid to show her own style in the music. She comes off very comfortable when singing and she's just for real.
Richie Law - When I heard the voice that came out of that boy, I was initially dumbfounded. If you just hear him sing, you would be expecting someone along the lines of Trace Adkins to be standing in front of you. I am interested how far he can take that voice beyond country music and in other genres. A voice like that is a gift, not just a talent.
Shelby Tweten - The tearjerker tonight was Shelby's story and voice. She has been diagnosed with bipoloar disorder and has suffered from depression. Her focus on singing and the journey to Idol have helped to keep her on track and taking her meds. Her story alone could bring tears to your eyes. Then she began to sing, and you couldn't help but feel the emotion of every note. Shelby has a beautiful voice and cute look to take her all the way to the finals.
Angie Ziederman - This audition was the 2nd shocker audition for me tonight. (Richie's being the other shocker) I wasn't quite sure what to expect when Angie came out with her quirky style. She started to sing Blue Moon and my first thought was, "2012 American Idol winner of the William Hung Award". Somehow she got to sing a second song. I couldn't believe it was the same girl. I was in awe as I believe many others were also. Angie really does have an amazing voice and fun personality that could take her far in this contest.
What did you think of tonight's episode and who were your Aspen picks? Could be a great season with the talent I have been seeing. As Ryan Seacrest says, "See you next time on American Idol!"
