Hear more from American Idol’s Kez Ban
Kez Ban is the street performer we met during American Idol’s Chicago auditions. She performs with fire and makes balloon animals, but apparently also writes music.

Kiara Lanier walked into the American Idol auditions in Chicago claiming that Mariah Carey helped inspire her to sing. By the time Kiara was done singing, Mariah Carey was praising her “huge potential.”
Stephanie Schimel was one of three very impressive female singers we met early on in American Idol’s Chicago audition episode. The 21-year-old from Milwaukee displayed a sexy sort of voice singing “Dream a Little Dream of Me.”
This 22-year-old from Wisconsin made Nicki Minaj growl during American Idol’s Chicago audition episode. In fact, she suggested a better first name for Griffin Peterson might be “grr.”
Among the contestants we were introduced to this week, Gabe Brown was the first of America’s small-town finds to advance to Hollywood. The 21-year-old is the rocker Nicki nicknamed “Curly” during his audition.
Isabelle Parell is the very poised 15-year-old we met in American Idol’s Chicago audition episode. How poised? She marched into the audition room and asked Keith Urban to duet with her on “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”
Curtis Finch Jr. was one of the most impressive male singers we met during American Idol’s Chicago audition episode. He’s also not a stranger to this Idol game.
Brandy Neelly was one of a couple of talented female country singers American Idol introduced us to in the Chicago audtion episode. The 17-year-old from Louisville, Ken., auditioned with the Hank Williams’ classic “Your Cheating Heart.”
OK, the verdict is in. And as fun as dueling divas are, they must not be must-watch TV. TV by the Numbers reports that American Idol dominated TV ratings on Wednesday night, drawing nearly 18 million viewers.
Last Week, Cassadee Pope announced she was “going country” in Cassadee’s Corner, a sort of advice blog she writes for Alter the Press. She wasn’t joking.
