| January 29, 2014 at 7:55 PM ESTThe time has come for the American Idol auditions 2014 to take over Salt Lake City, as the American Idol judges 2014 try to find the next big superstar and winner of American Idol Season 13. Will the winner be found tonight??? We have a long way to go before knowing that much, but the previews are showcasing some pretty good singers on American Idol 2014! I guess we will find out shortly during our American Idol 2014 Recap and see videos of the auditions tonight below!
Last week on American Idol Season 13, we saw the auditions head to Atlanta and Detroit and even more tickets were handed out to Hollywood. After all was said and done, we had a total of 163 Golden Tickets handed out! I am liking the fact that Ryan Seacrest gives us a total at the end of every show and shows the map of where they all came from. Does it mean anything? No, but it is kind of cool to see where the dots are falling and it is nice to know how many hopefuls we will find at Hollywood Week!

Here we are again and we start the night with Austin Wolfe, who is 16 years old and a cute little girl. Keith seems to be in love with her voice and is moaning the whole performance! I like the tone of her voice. Jennifer said she has the whole package going on. Keith said her pitch is great and they give her her Golden Ticket!

Next up: a lumberjill? Kylee Adamson swings an axe for a living, but she has a voice inside her too! Jennifer was hoping she sang well because she liked her already. Keith said as soon as she started singing, she had her immediately. Three yes votes and Salt Lake City is off to a good start! Some quick looks at some auditions, but they are all yes votes and going to Hollywood!

They aren’t all good in Salt Lake City, as we take a look at some singers that need some help still. We might have a winner here, as we see Alex Preston and his geeky self. He is a songwriter and sang his original song, which is very cool and the judges seem impressed. They loved him and his ability to do harmonies. Jennifer said she loves him and everything about him, so they send him to Hollywood!

Samantha Calmes comes in with a fanny pack on and the American Idol judges 2014 want to know what is in it! She tries an original song also, which has this weird tone to it and I love it. She has her own style and I am liking. Harry asks her to sing another song to get her vocals on a known song and she sings The Jeffersons theme song! Harry likes her, but not so much her voice. Jennifer loved her voice and Keith applauds her originality. Three yes votes and Samantha is headed to Hollywood!

We take a look at some of the contestants with some weird or bad names and one of them came from the American Idol Bus Tour. The small towns in America brought some great voices and they are here in Salt Lake City to show they can make it on the show! Lebryant Crew kicks it off and he is a minister and hoping to be the first preacher to win American Idol. Laurel Wright sings her own song because she thinks she only has one chance to win them over. The Bus Tour was successful, as they are both headed to Hollywood!

D.J. Bradley comes in and has an Ed Sheeran/One Direction crazy hair look to him. He clearly has his own style, but it comes with a decent voice. Jennifer said he has a quirky thing going on, but she likes it. She is thinking there is a musician in there and he needs to come out of that shell. Keith said it went from mysterious to disinterested side of things and Keith felt disinterested. He is a cute guy and Jennifer thinks he can blossom. The other judges agree and send him to Hollywood.

People drove far distances to get to these American Idol auditions 2014 and are hoping to make it on the show. Kenzie Hall comes in and is super nervous and putting on a brave face for her family. This girl has a good voice, but then seems to go deep and loud and I am over it. No need to scream to sound good. The soft sides were just as good. Jennifer said she has everything going on and is 16! Three yeses for Kenzie!

Paisley Van Patten lived in Nashville for eight years. She had her first recording deal when she was 15 years old and was riding high for one year. She then lost it all and developed a drinking problem. She is now back and sober and wants a second chance. She has a very strong country voice and you can feel the emotion in it. Jennifer said she has nice control. Keith loves that she sang that song and her voice. Three yes votes and she is going to Hollywood!

Another set of quick auditions that were both yes and nos, but now time for C.J. Harris. His father passed away a year ago from a massive heart attack. It has made him a better man, but can he sing? He has a good tone to his voice, but then he has this slur to some of his words. Harry said others can sing better and play guitar better, but he has this quality about him. The judges agree and send him to Hollywood!

Time for Day 2 in Salt Lake City on American Idol Season 13. The day starts with Tiquila Wilson, who has a ton of energy! What a way to start the day, huh? She has a good voice, but also does that screaming concept and overpowers the notes and it sounds rough. If she just toned it down, it would be good. Keith said it is a beautiful voice and he likes her spirit. It is three yes votes and I like her!

Chase Thornton is a male model and busser, but who knows why. He is not that good-looking and so over-the-top with his personality. Maybe producers thought he was pretty and wanted some camera time for him? Keith stops him and said he didn’t know what key he was in and if he wanted to sing, then he should take singing lessons.

After some no auditions, we take a look at the journeys the judges have gone through with their careers. Keith sang on a competition show at 16 years old. Jennifer as a Fly Girl and Keith said he could never audition because he does not do well with auditions and gives praise to these singers. Next up is Emily Rottler and has that indie-style voice and it is alright, but I’ve heard stronger. Jennifer thinks she is the real deal. Harry was listening to her and thinking this is going to be a really good year on American Ido 2014. She is headed to Hollywood.

Dexter Roberts is next and has that country thing going for him. He rocks it out during his audition and the judges love him. Keith said he was doing his thing and grooving. They send him to Hollywood!

Briston Maroney comes from a musical family and they have all been singers. He is 15 years old and using the guitar his great-grandfather used to play in Nashville as a recording artist! He said he feels the music through the guitar. He stats singing and I am shocked! I was not expecting that to come out of him and he has weird sound to his voice. Jennifer said he has such a unique voice and this is good. Keith said he wants to see other colors come from it, but keep his uniqueness. Harry hopes he doesn’t lose his voice. He gets the ticket to Hollywood!

Harry wants to know where these people are coming from. How can they be so young and sing so well? We some good singers, but the judges are mixed. Two make it through and one is going home, but he’ll be back!

Johnny Newcomb comes in front of the judges and sings a song, but Harry thinks he is emulating the original artist too much. They make him sing another song and Jennifer thinks it is too hard to let someone that good go home. Harry doesn’t think he is ready, but Keith sends him to Hollywood.

Next up is Carmen Delgina, whose Dad is Wonder Mike from The Sugarhill Gang. She has gained the love of music from her Dad, who Jennifer is so excited to hear about. Harry thinks she is a talented young woman, but doesn’t think her vocals can get her to the end. Jennifer said her voice was inconsistent. Keith said something was disconnecting her voice from her being, but it is a yes for her and the judges agree!

Kassandra Castaneda comes in and gives Jennifer her uncle’s phone number, who asked her to text or call him! Despite that, she has a good voice and it is a popular Adele night. Harry thought it was alright, but doesn’t think she is ready. Jennifer disagrees and thinks she has a lot of control and her voice is ready to go to Hollywood. Keith agrees with both, but thinks her voice will blossom at Hollywood Week and she is going!

The final audition of the night on American Idol 2014 comes from Casey Thrasher, who is between jobs and staying with his aunt with his two kids. He is trying to do whatever he can to make a life for them. He wants this and needs this. He met Keith at the CMA’s last year and got a chance to talk with him and told him to keep trying. Did he have a great voice? No, but it was good. He sang with the emotion and that is what wins people over. Jennifer thought she was watching a performance and felt it. Harry said he has a lot of drive and he likes that. That means three yes votes and he is going to Hollywood!
