Summary "American Idol" - Auditions #6 - Jan. 31, 2013

Our final audition city is Oklahoma City, OK.

We are reminded that Carrie Underwood is from Oklahoma.

First up is Karl Skinner who was found during the small town audition bus tour. He's a newlywed. He sings "I Feel Good" by James Brown. He's a little goofy but he can sing. He then plays his guitar and sings an original song. The song is not much but he sings it alright, overdoing it a bit to his detriment. Randy and Nicki like him and Randy thinks he could be an "Idol" mascot. It's four yeses and a golden ticket.

We get a montage of the terrible.

Next up is Nate Tao who is an American Sign Language instructor. Both of his parents are deaf. He sings "For Once In My Life" by Stevie Wonder. He has a weird breath thing but he sings well. (It's truly a shame his parents can't hear him.) He gets four yeses and a goldent ticket. His dad is very excited for him he teaches Ryan how to sign "Congratulations."

Next up is Halie Hilburn who is a puppeteer/ventriloquist who has a puppy dummy named Oscar. She/they sing "Cowboy Sweetheart" by Leann Rimes. (Oscar provides the yodeling at the end.) They sound pretty good but it feels silly. She then sings on her own and it's lovely. They tell her to leave Oscar behind. Keith, Mariah, and Nicki say yes. Randy says he was going to say no but it doesn't matter. She gives Oscar to Ryan.There is a goodbye montage set to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" and Oscar ends up in the dumpster.

Next up is an obvious train wreck, Zoannette Johnson who butchers the national anthem It's so scary Keith falls off his chair on "free." There are actually a couple of okay moments but she's just so loco she can't control herself.Nicki isn't kidding when she says her voice is out of control. Zoanette than starts babbling about getting an invitation to the White House.They, insanely, all say yes.

We get a montage of people crying/trying not to cry, either with nerves or being rejected or one tearful who actually gets put through.

Next up is Anastacia Freeman who is also tearful but gathers herself and then trips on her way in. She takes her shoes off before she sings. She sings "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton. She is terrible. They laugh at her. She asks if they're laughing at her. They say no. She continues to sing. They laugh more. Randy asks if someone told her to audition. She says God did. They do a bizarre, mean "re-enactment." That's a no. As she leaves she says she will no longer listen to Mariah and she never listened to Nicki because she heard she worshipped Satan. Okay.

The final contestant is 16-year-old Kayden Stevenson who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis and his life expectancy is 35 years old. He sings "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder. He's adorable and has a great spirit which they really like. That's four yeses and a golden ticket.

We get a montage of some of the 44 others who got a golden ticket.

Then they show us a "bonus" audition. It's Steven Tyler in drag. It's a pretty good get up. He's come to wish them well on the new season. He gets a golden ticket.
