New Orleans is the second audition city and we get lots of montages of stereotypical NOLA/southern stuff: Mardi Gras, the French Quarter, alligators, outtakes of Ryan from a previous season in NOLA being goofy.
Jordan Dorsey a charming piano teacher from Louisiana, impresses the judges with his jazzy rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and gets three yes's and gives JLo goosebumps.
We get a couple of awful singers and arrive at Sarah Sellers who impresses Tyler with her mouth and her version of Bob Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" and is through to Hollywood.
Going with the body parts theme Jovany Barreto is the next golden ticket winner based not only on his singing but his love for JLo, her husband Marc Anthony, and his "melodic sensibility" according to Tyler on the Luis MIguel song he sang. So excited to get his golden ticket Jovany takes off his shirt to show off his abs to JLo, and Randy and Tyler needlessly join him.
Hoping to have an in with Randy Jacquelyn Dupree brings along his old football coach, to the audition. Her singing on "I'll Stand By You" was fine so the combination gets her through.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a gutsy song to sing at an audition but Brett Loewenstern's version is enough to impress the judges, they also enjoy his well-conditioned hair and childhood tale of bullying.
A geeky sorta Mick Jagger/Steven Tyler lookalike Gabriel Franks has none of the talent of those two famous men and his not totally tuneless take on Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" gets him the congenial boot.
Montage of bad singers.
Next up is Jacee Badeaux a cherubic, unassuming 15-year-old with a lovely voice who bowls the gang over with his sweet rendition of Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay." The easiest golden ticket of the night.
As is the show's custom, it ends with an up and close and personal story, this one of Paris Tassin, a single mom of a special needs child from New Orleans. JLo gets choked up as she sings Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home." That's three yes's.
All told 37 folks got the greenlight to Hollywood.
