American Idol has again leaked auditions for two Hollywood-bound contestants, Zaréh and Fritz Hager.
Zaréh has the most interesting backstory. She’s the daughter of Nadia Turner, a Top 10 contestant on Idol Season 4.
In fact, Zaréh surprised her mother, telling her they were headed for a spa day.
Instead, they arrived at the Idol audition site, greeted by Ryan Seacrest, who popped the big news.
A 21-year-old stylist who is from Miami, but lives in L.A., Zaréh auditioned with “Bust Your Windows” by Jazmine Sullivan.
Based on her appealing tone and powerful vocals, everyone in the room knew where this audition was headed.
Luke Bryan complimented Zaréh for slaying the song, adding “in your zone, you are tremendous.”
Katy Perry praised Zaréh for a cool vibe and her cool voice.
Her golden ticket came via a unanimous vote.
Fritz Hager, 21, of Tyler, Texas, works as a security ofieer, monitoring cameras in a dark room for 12 hours a day.
But he wants to be on stage singing, and he’s always been a big fan of American Idol Season 11 champ Phillip Phillips.
In fact, he credits Phillip for being his inspiration to learn guitar.
Fritz auditioned with “Before You Go” by Lewis Capaldi. And while it was an earnest performance, it wasn’t an impressive vocally as Zaréh’s.
In fact, the judges were split on whether Fritz should advance. Katy gave him a yes, saying he shows lots of potential. Luke said he needed a little more experience.
But Lionel Richie cast the deciding vote in Fritz’ favor, saying he liked the singer’s attitude.
Idol airs its fourth audition episode Sunday at 8 p.m. There will also be a Monday audition episode, with the same start time. And, because of the Oscars, Idol will air the following Monday, March 28, at 8 p.m.
