Brent Keith - 29 year old white male, worked in a lumber store - Hicktown - song choice - I think he blew it, a rocking country song. Simon said it was a forgettable song. I would tend to agree, 1-866- 436-5704



Stevie Wright - 1-866- 436-5705 - You belong to me by Taylor Swift - White Brunette teen lady - Started out very quiet, lost the beat a couple of times, Sounded like she wasn't sure of the words - Ouch!



Anoop Desai - 1-866- 436-5706 - Song Choice: Angel of mine - 22 year old Dark Haired Male - Sung very softly, had some nice runs vocally, Strange Ending - The Judges thought he was off, Simon Thought it was too serious for someone so young.



Casy Carelson - 1-866- 436-5707 - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by the Police - 20 year old brunette female - She sang softly to begin with also, off key at times, Didn't project at all, sad comparison to the original song. Yikes! Kinda like a train wreck.

Stephen Fowler - 1-866- 436-5710 - Rock With You by Michael Jackson - 26 year old male, black Musician that forgot the words During Hollywood week - Again, started out so softly. Lost the beat a few times, He's trying, but He isn't Michael Jackson. Strange song in my book.



Tatiana Del Toro - 1-866- 436-5711 - Another Brunette white, Female (they all look the same, so far) 24 year old Potra Rican - I'm sending all my love to you by Whitney Houston - Again, starts out very soft, very reserved. Off key a few times, She's trying to project her voice, just not quite there, though. It was alright.



Danny Gokey - 1-866- 436-5712 - The last one, Finally. 28 year old white male who's wife had passed away a month before trying out. Hero By Mariah Whitney. He also is signing reserved. Getting stronger as the song goes along. Good Job. The women judges liked it. Randy Liked it. Simon called him a good singer.
