ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) – It wasn’t so long ago that FOX 35 held our own version of American Idol auditions, in what we called ” Orlando Idol, ” where two lucky people were given a pass to the front of the line for the American Idol auditions held week’s later at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort .
Through all of the contestants that auditioned for “Orlando Idol,” our judges narrowed down their decision to two lucky people, Katie Bernard and EJ Cardona.
Not a newcomer to the American Idol auditions, Katie Bernard performed for the judges a few years ago but was eliminated. The judges liked her then and she was greeted with a warm reception the second time around.

”American Idol”: Breaking all the rules
There are four standard scripts for American Idol‘s female auditions (non-joke variety), and they can be pretty much summed up like this:
1. Hot looks, hot voice: ”You’re going to Hollywood, baby!”
2. Borderline looks, hot voice: ”Congratulations, we’re putting you through to the next round.” (Be thankful.)
3. Hot looks, borderline voice: ”I dunno, I mean, that was kinda all over the place, but, hmmm…there’s something I like about you. You deserve a second chance. You’re going to Hollywood, baby!”
4. Borderline looks, borderline voice: Sorry, hon, not even Paula’s on your side.
If you don’t fall under one of those headings, it’s a pretty good bet the show’s producers are tossing you into the dignity dumpster reserved for the homely, the obese, the deranged, and the deluded — none of whom can sing, none of whom are traditional beauties, and all of whom can be ridiculed for a few minutes of highly rated entertainment (guilt apparently not included).
