Jeremy Rosado on American Idol: Big Heart, Small Voice

Jeremy Rosado is a really nice guy. That’s what the American Idol judges were telling us over and over last night, with Randy Jackson pointing to the way Rosado comforted many hopefuls during opening auditions. That’s great and all – but it’s never a good sign, show wise, when the panel is talking more about your heart than your voice. Indeed, Jeremy didn’t really impress with his vocals on a cover of “Gravity.” It’s certainly hard to see him advancing over such solid performers as Phillip Phillips and even the theatrical Colton Dixon . But at least Rosado can return to his medical supply job in Florida with his head held high. Jeremy Rosado – “Gravity”

Joshua Ledet Opens a "Jar of Hearts" on American Idol

It’s a good thing Joshua Ledet got on that plane to Hollywood, isn’t it? Who knows how far he’ll go now. This 19-year old from Louisiana – who started singing at the age of three in church, and who is a rumored member of the top 24 – told the American Idol judges last night that he nearly couldn’t board his flight due to anxiety. But he got up the courage, sang an emotional cover of “Jar of Hearts” and received a well-deserved standing ovation, as well as a pass on to the next round. Watch the sterling audition now and most definitely keep an eye on Ledet going forward: Joshua Ledet American Idol Audition – “Jar of Hearts”

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.
