When it comes to American Idol, I love watching the auditions! I love that we get a chance to “meet” the contestants, hear what’s inspired them to try out for the show and actually listen to them sing their favorite songs. I get so nervous for them and wish they could all get a golden ticket and a trip to Hollywood!
Tonight we were treated to so many talented musicians, it’s unbelievable! Did you have a chance to watch the episode? No worries if you missed it! Here are a few American Idol season 14 (episode 3) auditions that I think you’ll enjoy.

Little Willie Littlefield’s song “Kansas City” has always been one of my favorite songs! Since my name is Candace, my parents changed the words and would sing “Candace City” to me when I was little. To say I’m a little obsessed with Keith Urban singing MY song is an understatement!!!
