Hear more from American Idol’s Nate Tao
If likeability counts for much on American Idol, this guy should go far. We were introduced to Nate Tao during American Idol’s Oklahoma City audition episode.

American Idol viewers aren’t likely to forget Halie Hilburn’s audition. That’s because the ventriloquist showed up in the Idol audition room in Oklahoma City with her puppet Oscar.
Sanni M’Mairura showed up on the American Idol stage in San Antonio flashing one of the brightest smiles we’ve seen and speaking a bit of Swahili at the judges’ request. That’s because his mom’s from Tanzania and his dad is from Kenya.
Nicki Minaj sounded doubtful when Adam Sanders announced that he prefers to sing R&B / soul music with a touch of pop. That was before the 19-year-old from San Antonio launched into a blistering version of Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind.”
Of the contestants we saw make it through to Hollywood from the San Antonio audition episode, Papa Peachez came the closest to not getting a golden ticket. Oh, Nicki Minaj called him “a superstar” after he sang his own song. She also called him “the most special person we’ve seen today.”
American Idol introduced us to lots of talented female singers in its San Antonio audition episode, and you can count Cristabel Clack among them. What makes her a bit different is her age and family situation.
Savannah Votion showed up on American Idol dressed to impress. But it was her voice that wound up doing the most impressing on a rousing rendition of “At Last.”
Vincent Powell was the very first contestant we met during American Idol’s San Antonio episode. But he’s not exactly a new face on the show.
We met Briana Oakley during American Idol’s San Antonio audition. Back in 2009, she was featured on America’s Most Talented Kids.
Victoria Acosta is the dark-haired beauty of a mariachi singer we met during American Idol’s San Antonio auditions. Now, she might sing mariachi along San Antonio’s river walk to introduce tourists, and she might have been singing mariachi since she was 6 when her parents put her in an all-girl group.
