Season 11 Episode 1

Though it took Jason “Wolf” Hamlin busting out his guitar to convince the judges he deserved a ticket to Hollywood, the grizzly guy did get to kiss Ryan Seacrest, so everyone was a winner.

Jennifer Lopez’s old pal from her In Living Color days, Jim Carrey, has a daughter, Jane Carrey, who sings well enough to go through to Hollywood. Alrighty then! 

Here’s one guy who does not look anything like he sings. Kyle Crews wowed the judges despite his frat boy attire and earned a ticket to Hollywood.

Does she really want to be America’s next, uh, Idol? Aubree Dieckmeyer has the voice, even if she can’t remember what show she’s trying out for. The judges decided she should go on to Hollywood Week.

It’s a good thing Jayrah Gibson’s audition went so well… he has no Plan B after all.
