San Francisco Best American Idol Auditions
Watch good American Idol auditions from San Francisco, Season 8 featuring winners who won a Hollywood ticket. These include:
Kai Kalama: Sings Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by The Platters as his Idol audition song. Musician who takes care of his mum during the day – she suffers from a seizure disorder. At 26, he looks incredibly exhausted with a tinge of greying setting it. The tiredness in his voice is apparent during his Audition – he definitely has a great voice that would sound super on ballads and emotional kind of songs. Simon’s suggestion on confidence was perfect, though misunderstood by other judges. I think what he was trying to say was – even when you’re not feeling the best, make it appear like you’re feeling on top, like Cowell does. Often.
Jesus Valenzula – Sings Nice and Slow by Usher as his Idol audition song. I couldn’t understand the fuss and the need to get his kids involved in his quest for Hollwyood. He sounded decent enough to get at least to the next round.
Adam Lambert: Sings Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen during his American Idol Audition. Good voice, theatre background seems to have flooded his vocals. Am not sure something (theatre) that he’s been trained on since he was a kid can be shrugged off in the matter of weeks.
