Andrew Garcia - American Idol Season 9 Episode 9 Hollywood Round 1

tinyurl.com American Idol Season 9 - Episode 9 Hollywood Round 1 Finally, we are in Hollywood and Ellen is on board. 181 folks are competing for the top 24 slots. We see folks arriving by bus, car, foot, etc. to the Kodak Theatre. Day One Ryan introduces Ellen and the kids cheer. She talks to them about knowing what it's like to stand onstage and feel like you have to please a room full of people. The judges take their places and Ellen says to Simon, "so this it, I come on, you leave." He laughs. The first round: sudden death when people can sing a cappella or with an instrument. In the first group is Katie who had the Alzheimer's stricken grandma. She sings "For Once in My Life" a cappella really nicely and they compliment her. And then we remeet "Skiibowski" who sings "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Ellen says he was frightening in his intensity. Everyone laughs. We don't hear the others. They do the line separation. Katie's in, Skiibowski's out. He wants to know why. Simon says he's just not a very good singer.
