Amelia doesnt make it.
Of course, that leads us to an actual Elvis impersonator,Drake Milligan.
And while hes been very good at that, what he really loves iscountry music.
So he ditches the family recycling business to audition forAmerican Idol.
He does a very good rendition of George Straits You Look So Good in Love.
Drake gets three yeses and moves forward.
For her official song, she takes on Toni Braxton.
It starts outsostrong, but then it literally falls apart everywhere.
Like, itsnot good.
But this is the newAmerican Idol.
Dreams are achievable here!
So they put her through anyway because why the hell not?
With three votes yes, he moves onto Hollywood.
But were from the same neck of the woods (whats up Johnson City!
), so I have to root for her.
Her dad thinks she needs to move home, but her mom is all about Carlys career.
Carly decides to sing an original song (yikes!)
and says, I let the lion out!
She gets her golden ticket and her momloses it.
(Next: Seriously, judges?)
Next up we haveAyana Rose Lawson,who has quite a backstory.
Her family has been homeless for a few years, and she had to grow up pretty fast.
And in areallystartling turn, she gets three no votes.
Way harsh, yall.Samuel Swansonfollows up Roses devastating departure in jewelry and a head wrap because Im in love.
He grew up in Alabama, but hes a New Yorker now, and hesreadyfor the next step.
Samuel tackles Lets Stay Together.
The judges sendhimto Hollywood, even though he clearly has a place to stay.
Im sorry, Im just like…not getting over this Rose situation.
Chill out, judging panel.
While I was typing this, a truly bad singer didnt get through.
Justice is trying to be restored, I guess.
ButJurneecant be bothered because she has an audition and a New All-American Story.
Jurnee has a wife named Ashley whos about to deploy with the Army.
She sings Rise Up by Andra Day.
Jurnee goes to Hollywood.
And then Luke Bryan decides to crash a local wedding because he heard theyre fans of him.
But heres the thing:Ada Voxis therealshow.
Well, screw the trolls because Adam is gone.
Ada Vox is here, and shes abeautifuldrag queen.
And when Katy is curious, Luke pulls up a picture of Adam from the season 12 auditions.
But again, this isnow, girl.
Im not saying that the makeup is perfect because BLEN.
Get ready, America.
Success is a drag, queen.
