Colton Dixon to American Idol Judges: What About Now?!?

Colton Dixon really hopes the second time is a charm. This Murfreeboro, Tennessee native came oh-so-close to the top 24 on season 10 of American Idol , and didn’t even plan on trying out for season 11. But he showed up a couple weeks ago to support his sister, got roped into a song… and there he was last night, on stage in Hollywood. Sitting at the piano and sort of making love to the camera, Dixon impressed the panel with his take on “What About Now,” an apt selection, given his return to the competition. Think he has what it takes to advance this time around? Colton Dixon American Idol Audition – “What About Now” Great work here by Dixon, and also by Joshua Ledet on the same episode. Both advanced to the next round.

Jen Hirsch in Hollywood: Georgia, Redemption on Her Mind

Jen Hirsch has something in common with Colton Dixon : both are back on American Idol , hoping for a better fortune. Each tried out for the show on seasons past (Dixon on 10, Hirsch on nine) and each has now advanced to Hollywood the second time around. How far can Hirsch go? All the way, if last night’s rendition of “Georgia on My Mind” is any indication. Received as well as any audition on the two-hour episode, Jen showed quite the range and enjoyed quite the reaction from Steven, Jennifer and Randy. They gave this Agoura, California native a standing ovation. See for yourself: Jen Hirsch American Idol Audition – “Georgia on My Mind”
