No Bikini Audition For American Idol Hopeful Casey Carlson

Casey Carlson—–

The Kansas City round of American Idol auditions were sans bikinis, but not talent. So far, it’s (arguably) produced the two most talented contestants: Lil Rounds and Danny Gokey. Danny was the evening’s heartstring story. Four weeks prior to the audition, his wife passed away as a result of a heart condition. Aside from the fact that he was wearing some horrible elongated pointy-toed shoes, his performance was pretty impressive.

Michael Castro, brother of alum Jason from last season, impressed the judges with his over confidence, his charm and the fact that he claims to have only practiced for about 20 days prior to the try out. Hmmm. Nice pink hair.

The beauty pageant portion of American Idol was won (hands down) by Casey Carlson from Minnesota. Her fresh face made it easy for Simon to give her the thumbs up. Despite not showing up for the audition in a bikini, Casey is no stranger to swimsuits. As displayed proudly on her “OFFICIAL fan site“, Casey has had some face time with a camera…in a bikini. According to TMZ.com, her photo shoot in the Virgin Islands was for CampusGirlsUSA.com — 100% of the site’s proceeds benefit breast cancer research.

Good for you, Casey.
