we found a 20-year-old waitress with a dream.
The winner is kelly clarkson.
Overnight, she became a global superstar.
After six seasons,we're back.

Or is kelly the lone star?
This is dallas.

American Idol Season 7 Episode 2
Welcome to dallas.
We're back in dallas,texas.
Our mission,to find out if there's any new talent in the lone star state since we've been gone.
Everything's bigger in texas!
We knew it would draw a texas-size crowd.
and we'd experience te temperatures.
It's hot in texas.
So hot.
It's texas hot out here.
You know what?I'm creatin' myself a slip 'n slide in this dress.
That's how hot it is.
But what we didn't expect was to have our first idol baby.
As antonia gillem went into labor waiting for her audition.
I just thought that it was more than appropriate to name him "idol.
"But will dallas also be thebirthplace of our next american idol?
Over 13,000 people would probably argue yes.
Yay.
And every single one of them is ready to party.
Well,almost everyone.
Where's paula?
The holding room filled up,
the judges finally took their seats,and we were ready to begin all over again.
Also making a fresh start was jessica brown.
I'm from longview,texas,and I'm a stay-at-home mom of two little girls.
Is that good?
You want some more?
My life is pretty stable now,but it wasn't always perfect.
I really didn't experiment with drugs in high school.
But when I went to college,that's when things really got out of control.
You know,I remember being a party,
and that is when I tried meth the first time.
There was a time in my life i was using meth every day.
It's so hard to think about that because it was a completely different jessica.
I got into trouble.I got arrested.
And that was my world.
I mean,everything was wrapped up in that drug.
It's amazing that I've come this far from where I was years ago.
The first song that I sang when I'd,like,
gone to the recovery group and started singing again was jesus take the wheel,by carrie underwood.
Which is really--it really hit home for me.
Jesus take the wheel take it from my hands
I couldn't open my eyes because I would cry if I did.
It was such an emotional song.
And I really felt like that songs meant for me.
So give me one more chance
She's come back to the person she was.
'Cause she--she--this is her.
This is her.
And she got away for a while,but that's okay.
God brought her back.
Jesus take the wheel
I think that if I could stop one person from using,
or inspire them not to go down that road,
that this whole journey is worth it.
Aww,you're so sweet.
Hi,jessica.
Hi,how are you all?
Good.
How you feeling?
Good.
Anxious.
Welcome to idol season seven,dallas,texas.
Yeah,jessica brown,24 years old,from longview,texas. -Yes.
Well,you're here now,and it's time for us to hear you sing.What are you gonna sing?
I'm gonna sing I'll stand by you,by the pretenders.
Great song.
Okay.
Thank you very much,jessica.
Nice.
Simon.
Thank you.
Well,you made the song interesting.
It was,you know,a good audition.
Are they through?
What's going on in there?
I hope they give our daughter a ticket.
They stopped her.We don't know.
A couple of pitchy things going on,but actually not bad.
Thank you.
Okay,we're gonna vote.
I can't hear.
What do you say,peyton?
Jesse!
Thank you,god!
Oh my gosh.This means so much.
Everybody's so emotional right now because they didn't think that I would ever,ever be here.
And so it's really exciting.
She's come a long way,baby.
So jessica's moving on to hollywood.
But the really impressive moves were going on in the holding room.
My name is paul stafford,I'm 25,from crosby,texas.
And I am a park attendant.
A typical day is just getting the place cleaned,weeded,mowed.
And then there's dusting off the bases and making the fields look pretty.
As you're sitting there in that park,you're walking behind that
about becoming the next american idol.
You're thinking about breaking away from the park.
You're thinking about being in
Yes.You got that right.
Good.You have any moves?
That's decent.
What's up?
How do?
What's goin' on?
How are ya?
Just thrilled to be here.
What's up,man?
-What's your name,please? -My name is paul stafford.
Okay,paul,tell me something interesting about you.
Well,I'm a member of the american roller coaster enthusiasts.
You love scary rides.
Oh,the scarier the better,that's the way I like it!
You think american idol's a scary ride?
it's been scary.
But just a lot of fun.
Just like a real roller coaster,dude.
Have there been ups and downs so far?
Uh,ups,downs,loops.
Loops?
All right.
What are you gonna sing?
I am going to sing elliott yamin's wait for you.
Okay,lovely.
I like the
Thank you.
That was A.very joyful audition.
Thank you,paula.
Have you ever sung that in public?
Uh not in public.No,sir.
In front of anyon
Um,my family.
They wanted to see how I would do before I would come here.
What did they say?
They said,paul,as far as I'm concerned,"" Two thumbs up.
" "You're a very nice guy,paul.
Thank you,simon.
I just wh--
It's hard to believe,right?
It's wild.
All right,randy,yes or no?
Paul,it's not right for this,man,but we enjoyed you,man.
It was definitely fun.
One of the most joyful auditions.
Really,honestly.
You're a nice kid,man.We like you,man.
Thank you,randy. -Nice guy.
Hang on a second.Just to be clear,one of the most joyful auditions you've ever heard.
Yeah,a lot you're a great guy,but i don't think it's right for this competition.
But I do enjoy your performance.
It was one of the most joyful ones you've ever heard.
Simon,was it the most joyful one you've--
I wouldn't use the word joyful,"" no,paul.
" No,I would say enthusiastic.
Yes,sir.
But I'm afraid this time it's three nos.
Yes,sir.
It's a no,paul,but we,dawg.
Nice meeting y'all.
Nice to meet you,baby.was so good to be here.
Rock on out there,man. -Two thumbs up.
Thank you,sir.
What a nice guy.
Nice guy,man.
Good dude,man.
Simon didn't come down on me like I thought he would.
So that's always good,'cause he goes down on just about everybody.
Dahlin' I will wait for you
No hard feelings,paul.
When we return,we're deep in the heart of texas.
I've never kissed a girl before.
What?
As dallas unveils its biggest.
I don't want to hear any more of this stupidity.
And brightest stars.
It's a privilege to sing to the whole world.
We're back in dallas,texas,for the first time since season one.
I got music on my mind.
So why did we return after all these years?
Because everything's bigger in texas!
Well,yes.
But since we had such great luck the last time we stopped by,
we're also hoping the next singing sensation is somewhere here in dallas.
Could there be another kelly clarkson amidst the crowd?
Beth maddox hopes so.
I love kelly clarkson.
She is my american idol.
All my friends are,like,"what are you gonna sing?
I'm,like,take a guess.And they're,kelly?
I try to compare myself,and i always get disappointed because she's so good.
I'm not her,but I'd love to be like her.
How are you?
What's your name?
I'm beth.
What do you do for a living,sweetheart?
I was a singing waitress at a fondue restaurant.
Okay.
What are you gonna sing?
Beautiful disaster,by kelly clarkson.
Do people compare you to kelly?
Definitely,a lot.
Do they? -Yes,sir.
Okay.
Awful.
I have no idea what that was.
Okay.
I couldn't understand a word.
It was called beautiful disaster.
Well,okay,well we'll stay with the last word on that.
What,you were actually singing at a restaurant?
Yes.
As you were doing what?
Serving.
What were your tips like?
About $30 to $90 a table.
A month.
Stop it.
Simon,stop it.
Okay,paula?
No,beth,I'm gonna have to say-- I'm gonna have to pass.
Okay.
The vocals are not hot,baby.
It wasn't that hot.
Okay.
Thank you.
They all said no.
And they said I can't sing worth anything,so.
Which one?
All of them.
They actually said my song was a disaster.
Not a beautiful disaster.So--
But disaster was a kind word to describe the next hour of auditions.
It was atrocious.
Okay,it's a no.
This isn't going too well,is it?
Next.
So we still hadn't found the next kelly.
But was elena whittaker the new carrie?
So they say you've been compared to carrie underwood.Is that true?
I have gotten that-- like how I look.
The,"you look like carrie underwood.
"But,um-- You think you're cuter,though.
I actually like to think that carrie underwood looks like me.
Well,I look at it like that.
Exactly.
The question is do you sing like her?
I sing country,but I can do so many different styles.
All right,so what you gonna sing?
I'm going to sing stronger,by faith hill.
All right,go for it.
Okay.
cowell,what do you think of elena?
I think it was a good audition.
I don't think you're as good as you think you arethough.
Oh,really? -No.
Shoot.
I can do other styles.
I can do celine dion.
No,you're a good singer.
Thank you.
I just didn't like the latter half of the song that much.
I'm sorry,the what?
The last part of the song.
Oh,okay.
That's okay.
I know what you're saying.There's a heaviness in her voice that,
when you power-- I mean,you've got a very good instrument.
You've got a good voice.
Thank you.
Work on the breathiness of your voice too.
Okay.
Yeah,let's wrap this one up.
Randy? -Yes.
Paula? -Yes.
Three yeses,you're through.
Welcome to hollywood,girl!
Thank you so much.
Congratulations.We'll see you in hollywood.
Thank you. -Okay,come here.
You're growing up quickly.
Stay with us.
Idol rolls on in dallas.
after the break.
Coming up,romance reaches new heights.
I've never had a intimate relationship with a woman before.
And dallas hits an all-time low.
Douglas.
Douglas--
get out.
And later,who gets this comment from simon?
Of all the people we've seen so far this year,you're the best.
Welcome back to the cattle call auditions in dallas.
Where outside there's still a steady stampede.
But inside I heard things are a bit out of sorts.
Clearly,simon has no appreciation for the romance of italian opera.
Maybe he's more in the mood for the good old-fashioned kind.
This is bruce.
This is his father.
And this is the story of a very interesting promise.
I'm different from a lot of other guys.
I've never kissed a girl.
And I've never had a intimate relationship with a woman before.
I think I was about 13.
My dad gave me this key here,
and he pretty much brought me up and taught me that there's one woman out there for me.
Here's the key,and it symbolizes my promise to my future wife.
He has the heart,so he's holding the heart for my future wife right now.
And when we get married,he'll give the heart to her.
And then I'll have the key to her heart.
He hasn't kissed a girl,and he's 19 years old.
Even first base?
Even first base. -Even kissing?
You run a tight ship.
Although,if he meets the girl out in hollywood,you're gonna be in big trouble.
You don't even want to start me there.
You'll be guiding him,right?
Oh,you don't want that.
Okay.
I've kissed a girl today.
What do I need to know about you,bruce,
aside from loving music and wanting to be a singer?
Um,I've never kissed a girl before.
What?
Yes.
- Really? - I've never kissed a girl.
On purpose?
On purpose ,mm-hmm.
Why?
Because I want to save everything for that one special woman.
On my wedding day,that would be my first kiss.
Oh,he's waiting for his wedding day.
So what you singin',bruce?
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
Go ahead.
Randy?
for me,almost.
You've got a good voic it's just--
I think it's one of those voices,bruce,that can sound good--okay in the room.
And then you hear it on the radio and through tv,and it doesn't sound great.
A bit shouty. -That's the problem.
I don't see where it says r&b bluesy singer in that one.
I'm just not sure who you are as an artist.
Looking for the best.
Randy,yes or no?
No,I gotta say no,dawg.
I don't think you're quite ready yet.
OkayKeep working at it..
I'm gonna have to pass,bruce.No.
Do you guys have any advice?
Kiss some girls.
Avoid ryan on the way out.
It's a no.
It's all right,buddy.
Close?
It was close.Was close.
He said come back next year and,uh--
and so that's what I'll do.
Keep working hard,right?
Maybe if bruce does come back next year,
he'll return less boy and more man.
Hug it out,bruce.Hug it out.
Back inside,it's 1:30 in the afternoon
and the judges are still looking for more texas talent.
Next.
Hi,pia.
Tell us about yourself.
Um,I am a model and a musician and I also sing background.
All right,sweetheart,what are you gonna sing for us?
I'm gonna sing I've got to use my imagination by gladys knight.
Whenever you're ready.
Thank you,pia.
Simon.
I thought that was a very good audition.
Thank you. -I like you.
Thank you. -You're interesting.
Thank you.
And yet you haven't got the demeanor of a backing singer.
Most backing singers who come in here come in like whipped donkeys.
Just really kind of like-- With welts on their backs.
You know,and you're confident.
And you're stylish.
Thank you. -I like you.A lot.
Thank you. -A lot.
I like you too.
Yay.
Yeah,I do.I like you.
I'd love to see and hear where more of your range is.
Yes,definitely.
I love you three.
I think that's a yes,a yes.
You got three yeses.
Thank you!
Go pia!
When we come back,a bag of tricks.
I have this collection.
I don't even know how to react.
Part of me's sick,part of me's scared.
Some treats for the judges.
Waste of time.
And an audition you'll have to see to believe as the birdman cometh.
Don't tell us anymore.
That's enough.
Welcome back.It's afternoon and the dallas auditions are moving along smoothly.
So far there's been no surprises.
Nothing strange or unusual.
But little did we know what our next contestant had hidden in his bag of tricks.
I'm ryan. -I'm brandon.
Brandon,good to see you,bro. -You too.
So tell me about yourself,brann,where you from?
I'm 21 years old and I'm from lucedale,mississippi.
Which is way south mississippi.
Uh,about 30 minutes from the gulf coast.
Cool.
You have any hobbies?
Well,uh,actually I have this collection that I have.
Ever since about 7th or 8th grade,
I'd get bored and I'd start peeling my fingernails instead of biting them--
That's exactly what I thought you were gonna say.
So I figured,well,there's a little pile of them
so I guess I'd just break a new record for the most peeled fingernails--
Well I thought it was hashbrowns or fingernails.
Yeah,it's pretty gross,but,you know--
Pretty gross?Disgusting!
I can't stop,you know?
And what,do they get darker with age?
I guess.
That's not great.
Where do keep them?
Oh,they're hidden.
Well I guess not hidden now,but you know?
I don't even know how to react.
I'm--I'm-- part of me's sick,part of me's scared.
All right,well it's nice to meet you.
Good luck.
Yeah,I'm gonna keep mine.
I--I throw mine out.
You want one?
Absolutely not.
Hello.
I'm brandon green.
Brandon green,how are you?
I'm doing good.How y'all doing?
Good. -Okay.
Okay,why are you here?
I'm here to be the next american idol.
I just want to be a positive influence on the people
if i become american idol,unlike some of these other celebrities that have been,you know--
Oh,give me some examples. -You want to name some names?
Who do you not want to be like?
Well,I mean,it's not-- I mean,she's not a guy,you know?
But,like,britney spears or you know,paris hilton.
All these kind of people.
Right,so you won't be falling out of cars sharing your lack of underwear.
Do what now?
It doesn't matter.
And it says here you peel nails.
That's kind of weird.
Yeah,it's pretty gross.
I shouldn't have even told it.
But you know,uh.
You peel fingernails?
Yeah,you know how some people bite 'em or clip 'em or whatever?
I just kind of-- Peel them off.
And you save them in a bag for the past seven years?
It's been a while since I've done it lately,but yeah.
What are you gonna sing?
Rich girl by hall & oates.
Oh,good.
Funny.
Okay,okay,okay.
Simon,what do you think?
Forgettable.
Paula?
I kind of like you.
I like the audition. -You would.
Come on,dawg.
I liked it."Come on,dawg!
"I liked the audition.
I liked the tone in your voice.You know what I mean?
I know simon was saying it's a bit karaoke,.
but you actually got a good voice in there
Just gotta try and--
sometimes it goes into the nasal thing a little bit in your upper range,but I think you got a good voice though,dawg.
Brandon,you gotta make eye contact.
Okay.
Don't be afraid of us.
Simon of course,but me and paula,we're nice people.
I think simon's the man because he's straight up with everything.
Oh,well please,let us not stand in your way.
Simon,give him your straight up opinion please.
I was gonna say no.
You like him saying no to you?
It's fine that he's honest. -Well he's not overjoyed,no.
Do you believe he's telling the honest truth?
I believe he's always telling the honest truth.
There you go so then,uh,there it is.
Are you playing with somebody's career because of your ego?
No!You say no!
He wants to hear the truth from the truth teller.
Right,paula?
I'm abstaining.
Paula,what say you?Simon said no.
The guy that tells the truth said no.
Um,I like your audition.
I thought you did a good job.
I think you are deserved of going to hollywood.
Okay.
It's up to you,man.
I also tell the truth and guess what?
I disagree with the guy that you think tells the truth no.
And I say yes and so guess what that means?
Yes,going to hollywood.
You get to hollywood!
Thanks,dude.
What a-- Wait,so just so now he's not telling the truth
,I'm not telling the truth,but he is telling the truth.
He said no,we said yes.
Who's telling the truth up here?
Who's truth are you believing?
Uh,well yeah,welcome to hollywood.
Lucky for brandon he nailed his audition.
His trip to hollywood is in the bag.
Oh,man.
Yeah,hollywood here I come,baby!
Hollywood's waiting for me.
Brandon can't wait to get to hollywood,
but no one was more excited to be here than kayla hatfield.
My kayla hatfield and I'm from campbell,texas.
I'm 24.
I live on a farm with eight horses.
Oh,dixie girl.
I've got two children.
They're three and four.
When I was 18 years old I had just gotten a new car.
I was going straight through an intersection and another driver just t-boned me
and it trapped me in the car.I was totally knocked out.
I remember waking up and hearing the chopper,the whp whoop whoop.
" "As her family,how scared,how frighten were you when she had that accident?
Well I thought she was dead.
You did,really?
Yeah,when I walked in the hospital,she was missing her face.
About a week later I woke up in icu
and I remember looking at my face for the first time.
When I look back at it,I didn't really look at,wow,
that's just terrible and I'm gonna be,"
you know,having this for the rest of my life.
I looked at the other part and I said,wow
,I still can see.I've got one good eye.
I don't have patches over both eyes.
"It looks like a pretty full recovery.
Yes,yes.
I'm ready to go.
Good!
No matter what happens,you know,I'm living life.
Come on in.
How y'all doing?
What a colorful outfit.
I wanted to stand out.
That's-- this is making a statement.
I love it and I want to make people happy.
And I've been making people laugh all day with it on,so.
What's your name?
Kayla dawn.
Kayla dawn hatfield.
Good for you.
So you're here because you're the next american idol.
Um,yes,I feel I'm already american idol and there's many out there because,um.
everytng,just being a survivor and-
and getting on with it and being positive
and that's what being american is about.
Exactly.
That's good.
All right,so what are you gonna sing?
I got some janice.
Okay.
All right,all right.
You look like you're out of breath there.
I've been nervous.
Love kayla.
It's the stomach.
Ooh,it's just-- thank you.
Kayla,I want to be you for one hour a day.
I actually do.
Or maybe two.
You're so happy,aren't you?
Oh,well I'm just grateful for this opportunity.This is awesome.
Yeah,but you're happy.I like you.
Well look,kayla,under the assumption that most rock and roll singers should be slightly mad
in a good way,I'm gonna say yes.
Paula abdul?
Kayla,I love your personality.
And I actually think that you,you have-
you're able to sing but you're worried about getting that grovel
when you're singing those songs in your voice
that you kind of run out of gas when you're singing.
Kayla,I think you're a sweetheart
but I don't think you're ready for this.
You're gonna say no?
Sorry. -No,you can'T.
Oh,you've got to give this girl a chance.
You've got to give this girl a chance.
You know what?
Pitch problems.
Some things going on there.
I actually like the--
I just like you.
Yes or no? -I like her too.
Welcome to hollywood,yes!

Welcome to hollywood!
She's through!
I love her.

We'll take a break and come back right here in dallas,texas.
Hopefully there's more golden tickets.
Stay with us on idol,right?
High five!I'm going to hollywood.
After the break,texas brings the heat as some warm up.
But it's simon that needs cooling off.
What the bloody hell was that?
It's 4:00 pm in dallas and back at the ranch,
the holding room is thinning out.
Unfortunately,
so is the talent.
You sound like you're seven.
at was all so atrocious,unfortunately.
Creepy.
It were not okay at the corral.
And the judges are getting the impression maybe the talent in texas has been tapped.
It's all right.It's okay.
So there's a lot on the line for the last audition of the day.
How are you? -xxxxxxxx
You look nice. -Excited.
So your name is katie malloy. -Yes.
You're 18 from houston,texas. -Yes.

So yes or no,simon.
100% yes. -Paula. -Absolutely.
Million percent yes.Welcome to hollywood,baby yeah!
She said welcome to-- oh,my god!
So it's the end of day one here in dallas.
Katie may have been the last one through to hollywood.
I'm going to hollywood!
But she wasn't the only one.
Welcome to hollywood,dawg!
11 other people got that golden ticket,
taking them one step closer to their dream.
Stop,you big dork!
Welcome to hollywood.You got some-
- I am a star.
I'll show you.That's all right.
I'm coming to hollywood.You'll see.
So as the sun sets over the clear texas sky and our judges retire.
We can only wonder who will be joining them in hollywood.
Day two of auditions after the break.
When we come back,day two in dallas takes flight.
What--what show is this?
Kyle runs for office.
One day,I would like to become the governor of oklahoma.
It's daughtry 2.0
Rock on.
And kelly clarkson comes home.
crap,I screwed it up.
Okay,I now officially hate that song.
It's day two in dallas,texas.
The sun is still shining.
The crowd is still screaming.
Gonna make it happen today,baby.
And the judges are still excited.
The south,the big ol' state of texas,come on.
You know,on american idol,we've been all over the great state of texas.
We've been to austin,san antonio,we've been to houston.
Now we're back in dallas.

Oh I've been trying to restart my singing,you know,um,hobby.
since I was 16.
I've read this article with christina aguilera.
This interview,like,she said you cannot--
if you don't know what you're doing,
you could permanently damage your voice and lose it forever.
Well,my family does not know I'm here today.
My dad caught me singing one time,like eight years ago,
and he's like,who do you think you are?
" But then I would,like,sing so well a lot of times,
he would say,like,I hate you.
Like--not like,man,I hate you,you're so good.
Like I really hate you.
"Are you nervous,douglas?
Um,can I do,like,warm up type thing,or something?
Yeah,please.
I'm help--okay.
Douglas,how long is this gonna take?
Oh,my god.
- I just do that as a warm up.Like-- - Got it.
So that wasn't the audition.
- Um,can--I guess I'll start my audition now,like- - Okay.
Okay.What are you gonna sing?
I'm gonna do,um,living on a prayer by bon jovi.
Of course.
What the bloody hell was that?
This is the weirdest audition,man.
Okay,I know I was--I was rough on that note.
- It wasn't as good as befor The- -the one note?
- That one note. - Yeah.
About the 20,30 notes on that one were rough,yeah.
Gotta take a drink of water.
Take a deep breath. Relax.
Why are you bothering with this?
- Oh Is he serious?Is this serious? - What's he doing?
OK.douglas,because you know why?
yo we're gonna have to speed it up
just a little bit
Douglas.
- What song is that? - What song is that?
- Douglas. - I'm building it.
Douglas.
Douglas! Douglas!
- wait,wait. - Douglas,I don't want to hear any more of this stupidity.
Look,I was worried about if I was gonna screw up like this.
Well,you did. And you're sweating,and you're nervous.
- And you're walking around in circles. - Can I just try one song one more time?
No.no And you're whispering and panting. You sang,like,four songs.
And doing all this strange stuff.
Douglas,you--
He's not listening.
Just let him keep singing.
Wow,you really projected on that one.
- I was trying to do better. - Yeah.
- Was it--you're saying it was better? - No.
You projected on that one.
Uh,yes or no,simon?
All right,no one in a million years is ever gonna pay to hear you sing.
But did you see,like,I did better, like,just a few seconds like that?
- I can do a lot better. - No.
The tightness that you were feeling opened up a little bit.
- Oh,come off it,paula. - It's true.
'Cause,like,when your voice is tight, you cannot resonate.
- It can make you sound like- - It doesn't matter,douglas.
- You can't--dude,singing is not your thing,baby. - None of it matters.
- Maybe You're gonna do it again,aren't you? - Of course.
Get out.
Douglas,they're gonna take you somewhere safe.
Gonna make sure you get off the stage,brother.
Thank you.
- They're gonna take you to a safe place. - Thank you,douglas.
And in the safety of the stairwell, douglas tries to at least leave on a good note.
Aah It's a very weird city today,this dallas. This is weird.
And I thought that was-- I think that was pretty decent.
Hello,angela.
How are you?

Paula,what do you think?
Oh,sweetie pie.Reality check.
No.
Nowhere near.
But we like you,though.
- You're a sweetheart. You're beautiful. - Nice girl.
And you got a beautiful marriage.
We love chad. Chad's a model like simon and I.
Although simon and I do mostly speedo work.

- Yeah,he really loves her. - He really loves her.
Who needs a golden ticket,anyways,
when you have your soul mate by your side?
But how long will the love fest last in dallas?
Coming up,we meet a cowboy eager to get off the farm.
To get somewhere,you gotta give up some stuff sometimes.
So I'm willing to do it.
A politician desperate to win your votes.
My glasses aren't glaring,are they?
And a rocker ready to rip.
Welcome back to american idol.
Texas is a state rich in political history.
Heck,even our own president hails from here.
And this being an election year,
it's only appropriate we find a candidate of our own.
Hello,my name's kyle lindsley.
And elect me to be your next american idol.
I think I should be the next american idol because not only can I sing,
but I also make good decisions.
I think I make smart choices.
I have really good character.
If I was the next american idol,
I would try my best to use music to inspire people,
and,uh,just to have fun and to entertain people.
I'm a junior at oklahoma state university.
I am double majoring in international business and political science.
I've always been interested in politics.
And one day I would like to become the governor of oklahoma.
If I am the next american idol,
I will try my best to be a good role model for people.
I think in the entertainment industry,
it's really important to have good character and to make smart choices.
And I think that's what I would bring,uh,to this business.
If I was the next--can I start over?
,What I do?
- My glasses aren't glaring,are they? - No,no,they look good.
Okay,so randy,paula,and simon.
Okay,are they gonna actually see this?
Randy,paula,and simon,I am going to be the next american idol.
This is not a real political ad.
In case it isn't obvi this is a joke,ha ha.Ha ha ha.
So optimistic.So opti..
- I am so optimistic.Hi,sweetheart. - Hey.
- How are you? - I'm great,how are you?
Kyle,you are a happy guy,aren't you?
Yeah,I'm really excited to be here.
Okay,kyle,what are you gonna sing?
I'm gonna sing somebody to love by queen.
Okay,off you go,kyle.
- I'm so optimistic right now. - Yeah,me too.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
- Well,well,well. - Y're not as bad as i thought you were gonna be.
Well,thank you.
So what does that mean for you?
- Yes or no,simon? - Yes.
Randy.
Um,I don't know if I was as enthused as simon.
But I--you know.
-I felt like I was at,like,a glee club or some fraternity house. - I'm in a fraternity.
Bunch of guys--you see,exactly.
Bunch of guys are sitting around in their suits and ties,
and they're taking off their jackets after the debate.
I thought it was very academic.
Well,thanks.I guess.
- That's not particularly....A good thing. - Helpful.
I'm gonna say no.
So I just wanna draw your attention,paula,
that you may be saying yeor no to the future president of this country.
Future president of the.
- Yeah. - Future president.
- You know,if we had a president that smiled like you. - Well,thanks.
Do you happen to want this as much as you want to be in politics?
Uh,actually,if I had to,like,choose right now,I would choose this.
Like,I have always loved to sing.
Like,I would do anything just to go to hollywood.
Like,I want this so bad.
- Like,I really want... - You wouldn't do what clay aiken did and.
It's so funny that you say that,'cause--
Do weird things with your hair or wear red leather jackets?
- No,I promise I won'T. - Or sing grease is the word?
- Exactly. - I won't do that.
- You wouldn't dohat. - I watched that...
- Okay,paula,yes or no? - Oh,kyle,kyle,kyle.
What the heck,I say yes.
All right,both--you won over.
- Oh,gosh,thank you. - You're through to hollywood.
Thank y'all so much! Thank you,this means so much to me.
- Good for you. - Way to go,dear.
See you later,governor.
Will he be the next president of the U.S,
Or will he be the next american idol?
I'm going to hollywood!
- Oh,my god! - So excited,oh!
- I liked him. - Okay,there's something that came over me.
I don't know why it's called niceness.
As kyle heads back to his headquarters to prepare for his campaign in hollywood.
back outside,there are stillthousands of excited auditioners ready to get in the room.
And then,there was tami kazinsky.
The type of singer I am.
would be.
r&b/pop.
I compare myself to celine dion.
She's my idol.
I listen to her every day.
She gives me warmth and strength.
When I sing,it'S.
I have practice and felt that i sing the best to my ability.
Um,they might have different perspective.
And I'll just go in there and give it my best.
Texas has a history of being a little bit rough for us since kelly clarkson.
- It's been a little rough over the years. - Yeah.
- But you're gonna prove us wrong,right? - I think so.
All right,what you singing?
Uh,the power of love by
- Big song. - Big song.
- Okay,go for it. - Okay.
- can I start over? - Yes,please.
Please.Yeah.
What is the song?
- Power of love. - Power of love.
It is?No,it's if you asked me to.
- That was if you asked me to. - Not the one I know.
- Okay. - Yeah,it's if you asked me to.
Did you wanna sing the power of love or if you asked me to?
If you asked me to.
Oh,yeah,go for it.There you go.
Okay,okay.
How do you think it went?
I think I gave it my best shot.
Well,what do you think we're gonna think?
a no.
A what?
She said no.
Correct.
- Yeah,you're a nice girl,but it was awful. - You're sweet.
It was awful,though.
- All right,thank you. - Thank you,sweetheart.
Take care.
The dream--is the dream alive? The dream is not alive.
I can tell by the lack of gold.
I just.
You seem like you're in shock.
So was it the judges?They just.
sort of made you nervous?
Yh,I guess that's so.And,um,
-I'm just not ready for something like this yet.
No?Do you think you'll ever do it again?
You think you'll continue to sing?
yeah.
- Okay.Well,good luck. - Thanks.
Okay.Relax,it's over.
As tami heads home to unwind from the intensity of her audition,
the judges can only hope that big texas talent is about to step through the door.
What's your name?
- Colton swann. - Colton.
Says you're a musician. What do you play,dude?
Uh,guitar--I try to play guitar,drums,and bass.
That's kinda--mainly guitar,though.
- And you're in a band? - Yes.
I'm in a band with my brother.
Zach swann.
Is he happy you're here?
- He's behind me,you know. - No.
- It depends on how far I make it.
What's the song?
Uh,boondocks by little big town.
- Cool. - So. Go for it.
Okay.
Paula,what do you think of colton?
I like--well,I like that song. I like it.
Yeah,colton,I think you did a good job. I do.
I think you've gotta be-
- my opinion only is just to present- -
open your eyes more and perform to us.
'Cause you get a little bit lost in your own performance.
But you did a good job.
Simon cowell?
I thought it was okay,colton.
You know,I think there's a lot of guys like you
singing in bars all across america doing that.
- It was okay. - Thank you.
I liked you too,man.I thought there was something good about you.
I mean,you don't have to push it as hard,
but there's something I like about you.
So yes or no,simon?
I'm either way on this one,randy.
Yes or no then?
- Yes. - And yes.
- And I say yes. Welcome to hollywood! - Thank you,guys!Thank you!
All right,colton,man. Show improve,man,to hollywood,dawg.
- Come back with more personality. -
Hey,can I mess with my parents?Can I,like,put this in my pocket?
Wait,do I--I don't think you did very well,colton.
- I think you need to work on it. - All right,I'm gonna hide this.
Next year,come back next year.
You were terrible!
- Awful,colton! - Don't come back here again.
You're going to hollywood.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Terrible.Colton,terrible.
Okay,randy.
- Oh,my god! - You faked me out,dude.
That's what I wanted to do.
You just faked me out. I thought I made a mistake.
Congratulations.
Oh,my god! Oh,you scared me.
There it is.
Hopefully,you guys see a lot of me.
As colton heads to hollywood,
will more talent be joining him?
Find out,after the break.
Put your boots on,saddle up.
'Cause when we come back,the men get down to business.
Give it a try,
'cause pants can be restricting,if you know what I mean.
Welcome back to texas,home of the wild,wild west,
the land of the cowboy,and where men are men.
What have you got in your trousers?
Here's the picture of me as a guy.
And here's me as a girl.
So I just want to show you guys that I'm versatile.
Guys,give it a try,'
cause pants can be restricting,if you know what I mean.
And there's breezes here that I've never felt before.
Here's to hoping our next contestant ends that streak.
Welcome to saltillo,mississippi.
I'm drew poppelreiter. This is my family.
This is my dad and my mom,my brother simon,
my sister anna,and my sister sarah.
My job is.
it's farmin'.
This is it.This is where I work.
We have a family-operated farm.
I mean,we really rely on each other to do what we're supposed to.
My family,they're a hard bunch of workin' rascals.
From the time he was six to eighteen,
all he wanted to d was farm.
And then he fell in love with singin',
and that's pretty much all he's ever known.
I do a lot of singin' in the tractor.
It gets lonesome.A man's gotta keep his sanity somehow.
The time goes a lot quicker when you're out there singin',
and he says it gives him a boost.
If I get too to hollywood,
it's gonna be the first time that I've ever got on a plane.
Uh,kinda nervous about that.
As the city goes,I.
I usually like my hayfields.
But we can make do out there too.
- Amen. - Bless the cook.
Farmin',uh,just,it's in my blood.
But I've gotta say,to get somewhere,
you've gotta give up some stuff sometimes.
So.I'm willing to do it.
- You work on a farm? - Yes,sir.
- But you don't like working on a farm. - Well,I like it.
It's,uh--actually,I love it.
It's,uh,it's kind of a hate-love relationship.
- Now.... - It's got a lot of good qualities,
but it can be tiresome and troublesome.
- It's a lot of hard work,man. - Oh,yes,sir.
Okay,drew,and what are you gonna sing?
George strait.
Yeah?What george strait song?
I can do check yes or no.
Uh,try the check yes or no.
I think I heard that once or twice.
- ok - Simon,yes or no?
No.
And why?
- Not my thing. - Okay.
Randy,yes or no?
You know what,drew? I actually like you,man.
I like the whole randy travis,george strait,simple guy.
Farmer.Dallas,texas,south thing.
I actually like it.
I mean,I grew up with it,so i actually-- I like this guy.
I'm gonna say yes. I like this.
I like drew,man.
- Okay,drew,here's the thing. - Yes,ma'am.
- I think that you are who you are. - Yes,ma'am.
You've got a good tone to your voice.
My thing is I didn't feel any kind of wow factor with your performance.
- And that's something that- - Hold on.
If I could say something.
Are you not going to agree.
- With- - - She doesn't every time.
Paula's her own person,dude.
- You know what,drew? - Yes,ma'am?
That's a habit.I'm sorry.
I love that--the politeness. A true southern gentleman,paula.
I'm gonna say yes.
Welcome to hollywood!
A true southern gentleman!
A true farmin' man,works hard for his money. I like this guy.
- Go out there and--and scream your loudest. - All right.
- How are you? - Fine.I'm great.
- Drew is off to hollywood,california. - Yes.
He's leaving row crop.
And the livestock,and he's going to hollywood.
Dude,I--I did it.
I--I freakin' made it.
I'm goin' to hollywood!
What about that?
So we got ourselves a little country headed to hollywood.
But what about a little rock and roll?
My name is kyle reinick,
and I am going to be the next rock sensation on american idol.
I'm a pretty hardcore rocker.
I like.rockin'.
The look kind of speaks for itself,you know?
The shirt says,"do you idol kyle?
"And I got all my fans here signing it.
The eyeliner.Or guyliner,"" as I should say."
It kind of adds to the rocking out.
When I get into my performances,I'm pretty edgy.
I haven't seen myself rock out,
but I've heard that I'm pretty intense.
Rock on!
I thought you'd never arrive.
Oh,I'm--I'm here.
I'm ready to rock.
Dude,what is all of this?
This is--these are my kids.
I'm a counselor for them.
Kyle reinick,and you're 20. And where are you from,dude?
From edwardsville,illinois.
It's about 20 minutes outside of st.
Louis.Uh,uh,did they make your shirt too?
Oh,no,I made this.
But all of the signatures are-- all of the kids and my friends.
So you're here auditioning for your kids with your kids?
Yeah,they're rocking out for me,see?
Like he's belting out.
- Got the rock sign on. - How old are these kids?
Uh,kindergarten through second grade.
- so you're a nice guy. - I am.
A lot of patience.
with the kids,sometimes.You know.
All right,so tell me about yourself,man.
What are you gonna sing,man?
Uh,kelly clarkson,never again.
All right,cool.
Thank you,kyle.
Do you sing that song to those children?
I have sang in front of them before.
Were they scared?
No,they loved it.
- They actually came and tackled me. - Oh,okay.
- Well,in this--not after i sang it,but
You mean they flew at you like a pack?
"Look,a demon.Tackle the demon.
"Kyle,it was a very disturbing,slightly demonic,i thought,audition.
Your face does a very,very weird thing when you sing.
And your eyes,I thought,looked very menacing.
Well,I've heard I'm really,like,intense with it.
But that's my performance.
No,it's more than intense.It's verging on scary,yeah.
- Yeah,it's a little scary,the eyes. - The eyes.
Yeah,the eyes.
You have the eyeliner.
- It's like that goth- - It's guyliner.
- No,I'm not goth at all. - Guyliner,I like that!
No,but you know what? It's a trend now.
- A lot of guys- - You know what,tell about that.
- It's not eyeliner,ryan.It's guyliner. - I know.
Paula,how did you think the voice was?
- a little scary. - Really?
- What does your
Do you idol kyle?"
Oh,do you idol kyle?
"I think--I think it was the whole audition,and the--
and the eyebrows and the staring
and the--and--it just was like--
- What about better than ezra,like -
because I don't think you can ever do anything about those eyes.
And,dude,the vocals really weren't on point. Asn't great.
The vocals were-- It was not great.
You switch keys inside of the song,you know.
So,simon,yes or no?
Simon,yes or no?
Kyle. kyle.
Simon,yes or no?
Kyle,you are reinforcing my opinion right now.
It's a definite no.
- All right. - Paula,yes or no?
- no. - No?
- No. - It's a no,kyle.
- All right. - Thank you,though.
- Thank you. - And I appreciate the kids.
They're funny.
They said I was too,like,intense.
Or,like,my eyes were.
too,like,into my performance.But I don't kn
As kyle rocks on,we roll to break.
we roll to break.Up next.
Kelly gets a homecoming fit for a queen.
Score!
And we may have just found the next king of pop.
Welcome back to dallas,
where there may only be one star on the texas flag,
but today thousands are vying for a shot at superstardom.
We found our first idol,kelly clarkson,in this town.
I made it!
And it seems her fan base here is the size of the state itself.
crap,I screwed it up.
I am so sorry. Nerves--dang!
Okay,I now officially hate that song.
So while kelly's song might not be the ticket to hollywood,
maybe it would help if you were from the same hometown of burleson,texas.
Nina shaw. Come on in,love.
- Nina shaw,wow! - Beautiful.
So now you're 24.
- You're from burleson,texas. - Burleson.
Good old burleson.
Hometown of kelly clarkson that paula and I chose .
- when we first saw her here in dallas some years ago - First season.
- We knew she win. - Yep.
- Really?You have that on tape,do you? - We could rewind the tapes,
and the tapes would say paula and I picked kelly first.
There's also on tape you going after hollywood auditions, "I don't get this girl.
- "Yes,yes,so anyway,no pressure about that. - Okay.
Okay,you might be apologizing when you see the tapes back.
- Well,I don't think so.Randy and I know the truth. - We know the truth.
- Watch the tapes back. - And she's here to represent.
Hey,nina,welcome to the dysfunctional family.
- Hi,okay. - Whatcha gonna sing today?
I'm gonna sing whitney houston,run to you.
Let's hear you. Let's see what you got.
Thank you.
Simon,what do you think of nina shaw,dawg?
Very,very,very old-fashioned,nina.
It's all over-thought,overdone,and very cabaret.
For me it's very pageant-like.
Well,I have another song.
Two seconds.
Thank you.
You know what,I like you.
I think the jazzier side is cool.
I like that in the wake of what's going on now with amy winehouse
and all these people with the throwback stuff.
What was old from the '50s,'60s is now new again in the jazz way.
I like you. You look great.
I thought you sang the jazz thing really good.
- Thank you. - I disagree,randy.
- I think there is a difference. - Of course!
Between being retro and old-fashioned.
Okay,well,I'm gonna say no.
Randy said yes.
And I think paula's gonna say.
Hang on,hang on.
I think that you have-- you show promise.
I'm gonna say yes.
Congratulations.
Welcome to hollywood!
Two yeses,one no! Welcome to hollywood,nina!
- I wasn't sure where that was going. - Thank you!
- Bye,dear. - Bye,thank you,so much.
Congratulations.
Something's in the water in burleson,huh?
Yes,definitely.Oh,my goodness,oh!
When we come back,prepare for an audition seven seasons in the making.
You won't believe your eyes.
It's nearly sunset over the great state of texas.
And after 12 hours of intense auditions.
Ahh judges are ready to call dallas a day.
But back in the holding room,
one man still waits.
Ready to take flight.
I want to audition because
this is a privilege to sing to the whole world.
That's it.
If I were an american idol,
then I would give hope to those who are in despairs.
And to be tough,to be strength.
Do people welcome you with open arms?
- Yeah,and one is doing this. - They bow?
- Yeah. - People bow.
- Why do they bow? - I don't know!
I must not have any admirers.
I haven't--no one's--I've never been bowed to.
- No,I don't believe you. - No,believe me.
- No one's ever- - You have many admirers.
