American Idol Atlanta Auditions Bring Out The Talent

The American Idol judges made their third trip to Atlanta as part of the American Idol 7 auditions. Atlanta was the audition city for previous American Idol standouts Clay Aiken, Fantasia Barrino, and Jennifer Hudson. Once again Atlanta proved to be a city with talent, revealing some of the best and most original auditions so far for American Idol 7.

First up was twenty-six year old Josh Jones, whose background segment focused on his love of working with glass. Josh sang “Don’t Stop Me Now,” but his weird eye movements freaked out Simon Cowell. Josh seemed unable to control his eyes, so the judges had him turn around and sing with his back to them. Even though Simon Cowell said it was karaoke, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul put Josh through to Hollywood.

JP Tjelemand, who was audition buddies with Carrie Underwood three years ago, dreamed of following in Carrie’s footsteps. However, Simon Cowell said his pen had more charisma than JP. Needless to say, JP didn’t get a ticket to Hollywood.
