There’s no way Salt Lake City audition music can top the New Orleans audition music. But it can try and I’ll enjoy the attempt…
Opening: “Beast” -Nico Vega
In the line: “Move Like You Gonna Die Soon” -Cobra Starship
Bryan Boyer (b-boy with the short red hair with black stripe): “Everyone Nose” -N.E.R.D.
Tristy Mirci (25 car accidents in 3 years) interview: “Stickshifts and Safety Belts” -Cake
Tristy Mirci audition: “Already Gone” -Kelly Clarkson
Hayley Cloud (orange shirt, herniated disk – my favorite so far): “I Just Don’t Love You Anymore” -Jann Arden
Megan Kinney (Caitlin, from last season’s, sister, they went to Vegas together): “Everybody Knows” -Elizabeth & the Catapult (I just knew it!)
Genise Ridiaz (pink shorts, curly hair): also “Everybody Knows,” (which could have been the Sharon Robinson version, but wasn’t )
Montage of the girls: “Tik Tok” -Ke$ha
Ariana Rowley (burlesque dancers with Voodoo Darlings) interview: “Lady Marmelade” -Bruce Johnson
Ariana Rowley strip routine: “Something Sweet Now” -Dave Tweedie & Oona Garthwaite (you know the deal – we’ll post a link when one’s available)
Iveta Lukoslute (Lithuanian blonde, “money growing on trees”): “Have You Ever Been in Love” -Celine Dion
Choreography: “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” -Pitbull
Vegas montage: “Say (Half Past Nine)” -Hot Chelle Rae (Here’s the song on YouTube till we can find a download)
2nd day, in line: “Hummingbird” -Born Ruffians
Pascal Nayigiziki (really delusional spasm dancer): “Weight of the World” -Dave Tweedie & Stephen Bradley
Couple montage: “Partners in Crime” -Poets & Pornstars (not “Wherever We Go” -Newsboys like I thought at first)
Ashleigh & Ryan Di Lello (married couple, former competitors) interview: “You Are the Best Thing” -Ray LaMontagne
Ashleigh & Ryan Di Lello audition: “Poker Face -Lady GaGa
Leigh Asay & Josh Murillo (she lost a toenail, auditioned before and he pulls faces): “Just Dance” -Lady GaGa
Vegas montage: “I’m Alive” -Tina Parol (not on iTunes, but try her song “Who’s Got the Money” in the meantime).
Alright, so there was a lot of really good music in this audition episode. But I missed some of it, especially the montages (girls, going to Vegas, 2nd day opener), so I need all the help I can get.
