- DirectorKen WarwickStarsRyan SeacrestMariah CareyRandy Jackson"American Idol" - Auditions #1 - Jan. 16, 2013 And we're back! Tonight we meet new judges Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, and Nicki Minaj and say hello to old dawg Randy Jackson. We kick off with a performance from last year's winner Phillip Phillips and his hit song "Home" with a montage of his video, the U.S. gymnastics team, and this year's wannabes. We then go to a montage of successful previous winners and contestants from Carrie to Kelly to Fantasia to Jennifer Hudson. Then a montage introducing us to the new judges and reacquainting us with Randy, and their various accomplishments. We then get a teaser montage of people excited to have gotten their golden tickets to Hollywood. And others angrily yelling at the camera. And the judges disagreeing. Our first audition city is New York. Mariah references Nicki's hat and the first of the spats. It's interrupted by a Michael Buonopane singing his own version of Queen's "We Will Rock You" with lyrics about the judges. He talks a lot about his plan coming in and starts singing a bunch of different kinds of music and dancing. Then they ask him to actually sing but he doesn't get a chance and they turn him down. They are being primped during the break and Mariah and Nicki fight about the movie "Mean Girls." At one point Nicki pretends like she's going to choke Mariah. They both use fake British accents. Nicki keeps making "funny" angry faces. The next contestant is Tenna Torres who actually went to "Camp Mariah" when she was a little girl and got to sing for Carey when seh was 13. She tells Mariah and shows her pictures. Mariah is thrilled and wants copies. She sings "You've Got a Friend" by Carole King. She overdoes the melisma a bit, just like her idol, but she can clearly sing. And she is lovely. She gets four yes's and her golden ticket to Hollywood. We get a montage of three other good singers and their yes's. Next up is a young man named James Bae who is a Justin Bieber superfan. He attempts to sing a Bieber song except he cannot sing and is turned down. Nicki gives him a pep talk. Mariah tells him to be a deejay. Next up is Christina "Isabelle" who apparently has struggled with her weight and has lost 50 pounds. Randy calls back "Mean Girls." She sings "Summertime" from "Porgy and Bess." She can sing, but also overdoes it, as they so often do in the auditions to show off all of their skills. She's very strong. She gets four yes's and is going to Hollywood. Next up is Evan Ruggiero who has primarily been a dancer and wanted to hit Broadway. He was diagnosed with cancer at 19. After multiple surgeries and lengthy chemo, he had to have his leg amputated, obviously devastating for anyone, but especially a dancer. He sings "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. He's got sparkle and precision but he's clearly nervous and is having pitch problems. Then he plays "Wanted: Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi, which sounds much stronger and better. A little nasal but more assured pitch-wise. Keith sings along. They don't feel his star power but think he's talented. They tell him not to give up and to find his niche. Ryan tells us about the "I Nominate" campaign about people who have been nominated by people in their lives since they have been reticent. Randy goes to see one of them Jessica Kartalis on Staten Island. He gives her a number to audition. She sings an original song with her guitar. She plays in the wrong key at first. She sings well enough. She asks to sing a second sing. Nicki tells her to come back next year and the others agree. Up next is Shira Gavrielov who is from Israel and had a hit there. Now she wants the American dream. She's okay singing "Valerie" by the Zutons. She's got power but not a lot of sense of dynamics. She starts at 10 and keeps going there. She gets four yes's and a golden ticket. The last contestant on the first day is Frankie Ford who is from Brooklyn and sings on the train to make money. He sings "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics. He starts a little high and then stops himself and says he's nervous. He starts again a little slower and more contained. He's got power and pitch and they love him. Four yes's and a golden ticket and a hug and a handshake from Keith and everyone. Day two in NYC begins and the table line-up has changed, Randy, Nicki, Keith, and Mariah from left to right, which is the opposite of the previous day. But then when it's showtime it's switched back? First up is BenjaminGaisey. He is dressed in MJ-esque red leather and a horrible wig and you just know he's going to be terrible. And, he is. He sings "I'll Make Love to You" and "Every Time I Close My Eyes" to Mariah and Nicki respectively. He is awful and they laugh at him and Nicki makes him sing more. They laugh at him some more.Keith actually hides under the table saying "It's not safe." They all say no as nicely as possible. Except Randy who says he's terrible. Next up is Rozanna Shindelman who is very supported by her parents. She sings "To Know Him is to Love Him." She is loud but not very good. That's a no. Nicki says it's harder than she thought to say no.And then we get a montage of no's, some of whom angrily yell at the camera. Keith calls Randy Obi-Wan Kenobi for being able to say no so easily. Next up is Sarah Restuccio who talks about being from the rural part of New Jersey where she works on a blueberry farm. She sings "Mama's Song" by Carrie Underwood. She is flat for a lot of the audition but for some reason they love her. She is sweet and confident. Mariah sees a complete package. Randy wants to hear another song. She does "Super Bass," nearly flawlessly. Nicki, of course, loves it. And the others love it too. Keith says he doesn't know who she is. Nicki says she's amazing that she does it all. Nicki kind of yells at Keith saying she has to choose one. It's four yes's and a golden ticket. Mariah gives the contestants a pep talk and tells them to be themselves. Up next is Albert Chang who is a receptionist. He should stick to answering phones. He sings "Phantom of the Opera" and he is terrible including a duck-like high end. They mock him and then Nicki goofs on Mariah's famous range. We get a montage of Nicki's British accent,which she says comes out when she's nervous. Then Mariah starts doing it as well. It is all insufferable. Next up is Angela Miller who has hearing loss in both ears. She sings "Mama Knows Best" by Jessie J. She can definitely sing, and it is very loud. They really like her. Four yes's and a golden ticket. Next up is Brett Holt who is a huge "Idol" fan. Ryan quizzes him. He's auditioned seven times. They show him struggling to stay awake. He sings "When I Fall in Love." We see, apparently, a fantasy where all the judges say yes but in reality, it's a no. Next up is Gurpreet Singh Sarin who coordinates his turban with his outfit. He has 40-50 and calls himself "The Turbanator." He sings "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5. He is a nice energy but only a serviceable voice. Nicki likes his look. Keith thinks his voice is too light. Mariah and Randy say yes. Keith says no. He begs Nicki, the deciding vote, and she is swayed by this. Three yes's and he's going to Hollywood. The final audition arrives. Ashlee Feliciano has a large family including many foster siblings, many of them "medically complex," and all of them are there to support her. She sings "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae. She is very cute and does a good job. The judges love her and ask her family to come in and hear the verdict. Four yes's and a golden ticket.

That's four yeses and a golden ticket. Next up is Stephanie Schimel who sings "Dream a Little Dream of Me." She has a girlish, jazzy style that Blake Shelton would love. Keith loves her light. Nicki wasn't wowed even though she thinks her voice is pretty. Three yeses and a golden ticket. Nicki said no. Stephanie says she doesn't like her any less. Than everyone starts talking at once. Randy tells her to run away to Hollywood. Nicki and Mariah start bickering over Keith who looks exasperated and there is a contestant waiting to sing. Keith starts banging his head on the table and says he feels like a scratching post. Next up is Melissa Bush a quiet, massage therapist who shows up in a sparkly pink suit. She brings Randy a t-shirt says "Get Down Dawg." She sings "Downtown" by Petula Clark. She is mediocre but sweet. They all sort of just say okay. Keith asks for the check. They all say no. Mariah calls the other judges awful and vulgar. Haley Reinhart has shown up to give the contestants a pep talk. We also get a look at the "small town Idol bus tour." In Iowa City they found Gabe Brown and invited him to audition. He arrives with cookies that he baked himself. He sings "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones. He launches in at the highest end of his range. He's screaming it like a metal song. He certainly has passion. Keith asks if he has something with volume. Mariah asks him to do something mellower. He then he does "We All Die Young," at a lower intensity, and sounds much better but still not really great and then he starts screaming again. That's four yeses and a golden ticket. Next up is Kevin Nabity who says he loves Vanilla Ice and the Ninja Turtles and martial arts and dancing. He is clearly one of those guys they've picked just to be terrible. He sings "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. And then "Come Sail Away" by Styx. And he is. That's a no. We then get a montage of no's and people begging for another chance and Nicki hugging people and telling them they're special. Next up is Isabelle Parell. She sings "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and she hands Keith notes so he can sing the guy's part. She's very sweet and husky and jazzy and cute. And Keith is totally game and great. Mariah mouths along. That's three yeses and a golden ticket. Randy said no. Next up we see Keith skedaddling to make a show. Randy is in the middle of the women now. We get a montage of Nicki leering at male contestants. Next up is Griffin Peterson who doesn't have a girlfriend and Nicki is happy about that. He sings "Washed by the Water" by NeedtoBreathe. The song doesn't have much range but he sounds okay. Nicki thinks he's a star. Randy didn't get it. Nicki argues with him. It's two yeses--Nicki and Mariah-- and a no from Randy and a golden ticket. Next up is Curtis Finch, Jr. who is a tutor at charter school. He's very excited. His friend wants to meet Mariah. He sings "God is Able" by Smokie Norful. Curtis is a gospel singer and he sounds mostly great, clearly raised up in the church. He's got sweet sprit. They love him, three yeses and a golden ticket. He brings his friend in to meet Mariah. Nicki talks about how monumental it was the first time she met Mariah. Mariah thanks her, but not before she says Nicki didn't like her when they met.

But she's getting better and says music saved her life. Then she sings "Let it Be" by the Beatles. She is heartfelt and in tune. It's three yeses and a golden ticket.

Ryan sneaks his parents into the audition room to hear from the first time. He sings "Superstar" by Luther Vandross, one of his mom's favorite. Fortunately, he can indeed sing. It's sweet watching his parents watch him. That's four yeses and a golden ticket. We get a montage of contestants talking about how much they love Mariah. Next up is Ieshia Cotton who is a professional dancer which is good since she isn't much of a singer, which she proves by performing "Thank U" by Ashanti. Mariah tells her to stick with dancing. Randy says she's tone deaf. That's a no. Next up is returning contestant Johnny Keyser the hot guy who sang Sam Cooke last year.

She sings "Pinocchio" and she's got a husky, groovy alto and a snappy style. She performs an original with her guitar and it's got a nice melody and swing. She's pretty great actually. They let her sing the whole thing. She's not typical "Idol' but she's got her own style. That's four yeses and a golden ticket. She hops out jauntily. She is in total shock she says. She thought it might be possible but thought she might be too bizarre. Now it's a montage of the truly awful and the angry people swearing and batting at the camera edited together and called "The Miserables." Next up is musical theatre major Ashley Curry. She sings "Mama Knows Best" by Jessie J. She way overdoes it and sounds strident and rough. She tries again. Oof. Mariah actually walks away laughing. They all erupt into giggles. That's a no. Randy says somebody should have told her before. Nicki and Mariah start improv-ing and Mariah makes Nicki the "evil sister." Ashley is confused and starts singing again. It's a train wreck. Security escorts her out. She is confused by this reaction. The final contestant of the night Lazaro Arbos who is Cuban and moved to Florida when he was 10. He has a very severe stutter which started at age 6 and has made his life difficult. No therapy has seemed to help. He's very sweet as he tells a hard story. But oh, when he sings "Bridge Over Troubled Water," he's pretty great. The judges are not only moved by his story but can legitimately put him through on his voice. Four yeses and a golden ticket. We get a montage of some of the other 46 yeses from Chicago.
