Britnee Kellogg knows a thing or two about heartbreak. On tonight’s ‘American Idol,’ the blond bombshell and mother of two told the story of her lyin’, cheatin’, good for nothin’ ex-husband who held her back so he could pursue his own basketball career.

‘American Idol‘ hopeful Aubree Dieckmeyer showed up at the San Diego auditions, but she wasn’t quite sure what show she was trying out for. In her pre-performance interview package, she said something about being on ‘America’s Next Top Model.’ Hello! Pay attention people. Knowledge is power, especially when you’re trying to impress people to become a pop superstar. Know what show you are trying to

Based on his introductory montage, it appears that Jayrah Gibson may have trouble expressing himself. Gibson was an endearing dreamer stumbling over jumbled words, running off on tangents and providing some comic relief to San Diego’s ‘American Idol‘ auditions. One thing Gibson doesn’t have trouble with? Carrying a tune.

We met Ashley Robles at tonight’s (Jan. 22) ‘American Idol‘ auditions in San Diego. The pretty 26-year-old is a single mom, with an adorable and aspiring backup dancer for a daughter, who is all of 5 and full of personality.
