Audition 4 - Las Vegas - aka Viva Las Vegas!!! Winners: 24
Showcased: 7 winners, 8+ losers
quick pics: 7 winners
Episode: Only 9,000 showed up, and only 24 got thru. The guest judge was Kenny Loggins. If you are saying, "who the heck is that?" right now, just consider yourself lucky and move along. Ok, I'll give ya a clue: "Everybody cut Footloose"! kay? He was a Paula-type judge.
1. Mikalah Gordon - 16 (sorry, I missed this one. Any info, anyone?)
2. Amanda Avila - 23 from LasVegas, Showgirl, pretty, wore a necklace that said "pick" and a hot pink tank that said "ME", sang "10,000 lifetimes"?, they thought she was beautiful and great.
3. Richard Molfetta - 27 from NY, sang "I who have nothing". Apparently Kenny Loggins must've been hot for him and his old-boy-band-style (last week Gene said no!), Simon still says no, and Randy said to lose the act, but passed him thru.
*AI4 Too-cocky-to-survive-LA-round nominee*
4. Emily Neves - 22 from TX - A Cyndi Lauper clone, sang "Girls Just wanna have fun" (but I bet she didn't score as perfect as me on my first try of that song on my PS2 karaoke game!). I rule that song, but anyway. Randy said funny and fun.
*AI4 Pink-Hair quota"
5. Sharon Gal - 28 from NV, mom, sang "saving all my love 4 u (whitney)". Randy- you owned it.
6. Jennifer Todd - 27 from CA, sang "if i ain't you" (alicia keys). Paula - I got goosebumps. Very plain looking, but willing to be made-over.
*AI4 Female Ruben nominee*
7. Mario Vasquez - 27 from NY, sang "whatever happens". Simon - one of the best.

Kenny loggins: "This is more like a deposition than an audition"
