I'll be the first to admit that we are HUGE American Idol fans, so what better way to celebrate the new season than with our own family tryouts. Each person would pick their own song and tryout for the other three judges. After long and careful deliberation, we picked our songs and began our tryouts. Allen rapped "Pants on the Ground" (an original composition from this season). I sang the smash hit from a few years ago called "I am Your Brother". Hannah was going to sing a Taylor Swift song but cracked under the pressure and couldn't finish (we still put her through to Hollywood though). But, the surprise audition of the evening came from Porter who blew us away with his version of "Pump up the Jam" complete with dancing. He took the audition very seriously and was well prepared. He, of course, got his golden ticket, along with three others from the Kaysville, UT auditions.
