There were some really good ones from this ep, but the ones who got my eyes on them were Scott McCreery who impressed me with his deep voice (slightly jealous), accountant/auditor Steve Beghun and student teacher Scott Dangerfield (who had the voice and looks to match, very cute). Scott Dangerfield is definitely a front-runner from the whole thing so far, along with Steve.
One thing about the Milwaukee auditions that I found quite interesting was the many impressively odd jobs some of the auditioning participants had. There was a Summerfest janitor (Naima Adedapo, golden ticket), a Civil-War re-enactor (Nathaniel Jones, no golden ticket), and even a White House intern (Molly DeWolf Swensen, golden ticket).
So far through the auditions, since the reduction of the lower age limit from 16 to 15 years old (again, I blame you, Justin Bieber), the 15-year-olds have brought the game to a next level. Thia Megia was no exception, and delivered a beautiful audition. Emmy Henry was another 15-year-old who auditioned. Her rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" was a tad but shaky (probably because of her nervousness and got caught up in the whole thing), but she did go through, although I think she will not make it that far during Hollywood Week. Plus it was fun for the producers to poke fun at the age limit reduction, by having 5-year-old Valerie "audition". How precious!
You know you've made it when your name becomes a trending topic on Twitter and YouTube. That case was true for the final audition in the episode, Chris Medina. He had a very tragic sob story: his fiance got into an accident and has left her with severe brain damage, and they never got married. Nevertheless, he had a smooth audition, and he went through to Hollywood. Plus her fiance got to meet the judges as well. Definitely a teary-eyed moment for the home viewers.
Tonight, we take a look at the Nashville auditions.
