Wow! This kid can sing! Jacee Badeaux may not look like an American Idol but his voice is pretty amazing! And his naive innocence may capture many hearts.
Nerves were running high as the last round for Hollywood Week began. The all must sing, individually, their futures hanging in the balance. The results aren’t immediate this round, they must wait for everyone to perform. They do get to play their own instruments if the would like in this round.
Jacqueline Dunford, who became very ill, had to bow out of the competition and headed to the hospital instead. Too bad, because she had some great potential. It left Chelsee Oaks, her roommate and new found best friend, distraught before her performance.
Who shined…or at least did well enough to move on?
