What a talented group of girls Idol found in Orlando.Several are still around at this stage of the competition, and based on what I’ve seen and heard of their performances online, viewers should keep an eye out for Janell Wheeler (very impressive on night one of Hollywood), Michelle Delamor (very impressive in the group round) and Lacey Brown (very impressive in her audition).
One of the most interesting pieces I stumbled upon while researching these contestants was a story on Kelsey Laverack’s first Idol audition at age 16, as reported on TCPalms.com.
Make sure to check it out. It provides insight into how Idol gets those infamous reaction shots for its audition episodes.
