Shannon Magrane Hits an American Idol Home Run

With her performance in Hollywood last night, let’s hope Shannon Magrane finally gets recognized for her potential to actually win American Idol . So far, the 16-year old has been the subject of inappropriate remarks from Steven Tyler , as well as lame puns from Fox producers (we were told last night that the contestant “hopes to a home run.” Get it? Because he father pitched in the World Series!). But let’s not lose track of an important fact, folks: Shannon can sing! She proves as much below, belting out a version of “What a Wonderful World.” Shannon Magrane – “What a Wonderful World” (American Idol Audition) We have high hopes for Magrane, who has been featured each week on season 11. The same can be said for Reed Grimm . Is the show trying to tell us something?

Johnny Keyser on American Idol: FTW!

Based on the last few years’ worth of voting results, Johnny Keyser has the look of an American Idol champion. He’s young, white and male. But does he have the sound? Yes, based on this 22-year old’s audition in St. Louis last night, the last stop for the Fox juggernaut before it finally showcases contestants to Hollywood. With his family watching, and following Johnny’s tale of growing up without a mother, Keyser received nothing but praise from the judges and unanimous Golden Ticket approval. Does this waterskiing waiter from Pompano, Florida really have a chance of going far? We think so. Listen for yourself: Johnny Keyser American Idol Audition

Reis Kloeckener Makes Steven Tyler Cry

Reis Kloeckener is like a character on Glee come to life. Equipped with a Justin Bieber haircut, the American Idol hopeful tried out in St. Louis last night and explained how he attended a 152-student Lutheran middle school… before entering a much larger high school and getting bullied non-stop. He considered dropping out, until a teacher overheard Reis singing in the hall one day and asked him to join choir. From there, he made friends and found a niche for himself. The story, combined with Kloeckener’s take on “Lean on Me,” was too much for Steven Tyler. The singer/judge welled up and quickly gave this aspiring artist a Golden Ticket to Hollywood. See if you have the same reaction now: Reis Kloeckener American Idol Audition Among Kloeckener’s strongest competitors in St. Louis? Johnny Keyser .

Baylie Brown American Idol Auditions: Then and Now

Baylie Brown enjoyed a triumphant return to American Idol last night. Five years after her initial appearance on the show – during which she advanced to Hollywood, was paired with uncooperative teammates ere and then forgot the lyrics on stage – this 21-year old Texan showed off a new hair color and a great voice yesterday as one of the 54 Golden Ticket recipients (along with Kristine Osorio and Ramiro Garcia ) to make it out of The Lone Star State. Watch her first try out below, lament how much we miss Simon Cowell by watching him once again in action, and then compare it to her version of “Bed of Roses” from this week’s audition.

Jennifer Diley Calls BS on Steven Tyler, American Idol

Jennifer Diley auditioned for American Idol in San Diego Sunday – on an episode that will be replayed at 8 p.m. tonight on Fox – and did not make the Hollywood cut. Case closed, right? Not so much. The aspiring singer, who donned a tube top and very short shorts, has gone public with complaints over producers forcing her to choose from a list of “flirty” songs. (She ended up covering “With You” by Jessica Simpson and “Hero” by Mariah Carey, neither of which she had rehearsed.). Jennifer Diley American Idol Audition Diley is also apparently mad at Steven Tyler because he supposedly told her off-air that he loved her outfit… and then remained silent while she was mocked for it during the audition. The nerve! Informed off this random complaint, Tyler’s manager told TMZ: “You are telling me some provocatively dressed woman is claiming Steven Tyler flirted with her? I am shocked.” As for auditions of people who can actually sing, we recommend fans keep an eye on Ashley Robles . She has serious potential.

Hazel Jones, Woman With Two Vaginas, Turns Down $1 Million Porn Offer

A UK woman with two vaginas has captured the attention of the news world. Hazel Jones insists she has no interest in cashing in on this irregularity, however. Jones revealed she was diagnosed with uterus didelphys, an uncommon condition which means she has two wombs and two cervixes, earlier this week. The 27-year-old has since been approached by – who else – Vivid Entertainment about starring in an adult film for $1 million. NO chance, she says. According to the Daily Mail (UK) , she said: “I would never even consider such an offer, let alone actually do it in million years … I just want to be left alone.” Vivid Founder/CEO Steven Hirsch, who’s made similar pitches to everyone from Octomom (often) to Casey Anthony (later withdrawn), wrote Jones: “You are obviously an extraordinary woman and I would like to make you an offer to star in an upcoming Vivid production. We would pay you up to $1 million.” “We would fly you out to L.A. as soon as you are available and provide you with first class accommodations in addition to the payment for your services.” He did not release any plot details for this potential erotic masterpiece. Vivid has become the leader in “legit” celebrity sex tapes , with raw footage of Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and others netting the company millions. Don’t look for Hazel Jones to join their illustrious client list now or down the road, though. Likely for the best. Watch an interview with her after the jump. Hazel Jones Interview
