American Idol 7 - Miami Auditions

The Good

Robbie Carrico 25, Melbourne, FL

Ghaleb Emachan 27, Miami, FL

He sings “You Sang to Me” by Marc Anthony. I usually don't mind an accent, but Ghaleb's is very strong. He probably sounds much better when he sings in Spanish. Still, he's not bad, and he's got a cute smile.

Corliss Smith 20, Jacksonville, FL

She comes in with her friend Brittany, and they audition one after the other. You expect Corliss to suck she's so over the top... But she doesn't. She can sing! She auditions with “Take 5.

Brittany Wescott 20, Jacksonville, FL

And this one can sing, too! She sounds even better than her friend. She sings “My Guy”.

Suzanne Toon 21, Clearwater FL

She sings “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt. She seems really nervous, and tho her phrasing is a bit off, she has a good soung going on.

Ramiele Malubay 19, Miramar, FL

She sings “Natural Woman” by Aretha Franklin. A bit shouty here and there, but good over all.

Syesha Mercado 20, Miami, FL

She sings “Think” by Aretha Franklin. I was expecting her to be better than what she offered... But I think she's got great potential.

Nastashia Blach 29, Fort Collins, CO

She sings “At Last” by Etta James.

Ilsy Lorena Pinot 28, Miami, FL

She sings “Unfaithful” by Rhianna

The Bad

Shannon McGough 18, Okeechobee, FL

She sings “Cry Baby” by Janis Joplin, and when the judges tell her she sucks, she is completely floored.

Julie Dubela 16, Stratham, NH

She sings “Me and Bobby McGhee” by Janis Joplin. She was on a singing show when she ws 12. She is very much rehearsed in every move she makes, in every note she sings. She could be good, if she let loose a little. She didn't go through.

The Ugly

Ben Hausebach 26, Melbourne, FL - “Crocodile Rock” by Elton John
