JOHNNY WHITE, 18 | This was another audition that got real weird real fast, though for very different reasons. For those who didn’t see Gordon’s audition, imagine a bizarro version of Adam Lambert (all of the screaming, none of the talent) and add in a generous helping of “ Crazy Frog.” And then, I don’t know, toss it all in a blender and take cover? TYLER “COUGAR” GORDON, 25 | This furniture salesman told America, “You guys aren’t going to forget about me.” And he was so right - yet so wrong. This conspiracy goes all the way to the top!) He also called her their “Secret Weapon, to which Luke added that she’s their “Patriot Missile.” (Wait… when did this show become about war? Come to think of it, Richie made multiple references to “the arsenal” this week. Richie was so puzzled by her sound that he literally inspected her body for audio tricks. (What can I say? I love me a good tattoo/sundress combo.) And the only thing more enjoyable than listening to Passero’s stunning vocals was watching Richie and Bryan struggle to make sense of the performance.

If I’m being honest, I was so hypnotized by this vertically blessed angel, I didn’t even care that he was barely touching his guitar when he performed, nor was I bothered by the respect he showed for his musical boundaries.ĮFFIE PASSERO, 26 | Easily the strongest female performer of the night, Passero had my full attention from the moment she walked into the room. JONNY BRENNS, 18 | This tall drink of water enticed the judges with an original ditty tentatively titled “Blue Jeans” - he plans to rename it something more original - but his lack of range nearly cost him a golden ticket.

Like when Harris showed the judges how to milk a cow, which led to Luke Bryan telling Perry, “If you had your udders milked on a regular basis, they’d get raw!” Like, I’m very happy for Harris - whose unique voice earned her a golden ticket to Hollywood - but her performance is not what I’m taking away from that. KRISTYN HARRIS, 23 | As much as I enjoyed this Texas gal’s yodel-heavy performance of… whatever that was… this audition was really more about the pre-song banter.
