Idol: Orlando recap

Ryan looked super cute at the top of the show as he said “this is Orlando and this is American Idol”, standing in front of 10,000 contestants. Ryan did a cheesy Disney ‘dreams come true’ voiceover before saying that he, Simon and Randy were 235 miles away in Miami … and needing a little TLC after their quiet night in. Or something like that. While the boys were recovering, Kara and guest judge Kristin Chenoweth were becoming BFFs.
Theo Glinton
Glittery Theo had dressed up for the occasion with what looked like a cape and was covered in glitter and sequins. Ryan asked if he’d ever thought of being a super-hero … maybe not, but confident Theo knew he was beautiful and all that anyone could be. In the audition, Theo belted out his song but the judges rejected him for being too over-the-top. After struggling to negotiate the exit, a subdued Theo told his friends, who were waiting outside with Ryan, that he hadn’t made it. Ryan looked as though he’d dealt with a few sequins before as he helped Theo remove the glitz from his face, then cut to a break saying that he needed to go wash the glitter off his hands.
Still on the Disney theme, Ryan’s voiceover talked about the morning being far from a fairy tale as the contestants were beginning to grate on Simon and the girls continued to bond, which … to Ryan’s delight … annoyed the <beep> out of Simon.
