Do you think "Bikini Girl" Katrina Darrell advanced in ''American Idol'' because of her outfit?
Did she outshine the other stars during the audition round?
answers (13)
I think she did advance because of her outfit. The guys (Simon and Randy) were definitely distracted from her mediocre-singing voice by her bikini. Admittedly, she did have a really nice body, but it's not fair to other people who were better singers than her who didn't make it through.
On a somewhat related topic, I don't understand why Randy and Simon's votes outweighed Paula and Kara's.

It's not just her outfit that advanced her, because if she did not have a great voice, her outfit alone would have not advanced her. I believe the judges know better and they look beyond what they are wearing, and more so focus on the singing talent and personality. In the past years, the judges have advanced people previously who are not the best dressed such as Elliot Yamin, he does not dress impressive in any way, yet he had great singing talent.
I think her attitude contributed to her advancement. She is obviously very confident and that is the personality they are looking for. Of course there were some other candidates that were very confident but had zero skills, she at least had something going for her.
She also stood up for herself and continued to sing to prove her worth based on talent and not with a sob story or by making the judges feel guilty. When it comes down to it I think this is what sealed the deal for her. She didn't rely on her looks, she pushed herself to perform well even when she was given a hard time.

I don't understand how you can say she didn't rely on her looks when she auditioned in a BIKINI. She obviously wasn't that confident about her abilities or she wouldn't have felt the need to do something so drastic to get herself noticed.
The fact that she was wearing a bikini does not prove that she relied on her looks to advance. It was the judges, not her, that suggested she do a little twirl so they could see her from all angles.
The bikini made her stand out for sure, but I'm sure the judges see hundreds of beautiful women auditioning. I think she advanced because she was better than her competition that day. The bikini wasn't to compensate for a lack of vocal qualities, she proved herself by singing scales even when told to stop. She didn't stand there and fling her hair just asking to advance, she proved that she really wants to. Since I don't think she will be wearing a bikini for the rest of the season (or however far she makes it) she obviously knows that this was a one time thing and that from now on only her voice will carry her (pun intended).

American Idol is less a talent competition and more a tv show, and she was chosen because she will bring in viewers. She will bring in viewers mainly because she has a nice body, however, she also has a nice voice, so the judges cannot be blamed for advancing her for her body. No one with a better voice than her was rejected, so the competition was fair, but the main reason she advanced was because of her body.
None of the 20 or so people they decided to show us had a better voice. Who knows what talent was potentially passed over for her?
I actually thought she had a decent voice and that she didn't need to go to those lengths to "get through" to Hollywood. I'm sure she wasn't the only one who showed up like that. She just happened to be the one they featured on tonight's show.
yes i think so
It is always a good rule of thumb that if a woman wants to attract the attention of men she should wear a bit less than the other women are wearing.

Her advancement was entirely for ratings. While she has (at best) a decent singing voice, Mariah Carey was a poor choice for her limited ability. She started strong, but didn't have the talent to go forward. She was advanced because she knows how to get attention and the network knows she will bring in ratings for the Hollywood part of the show.
She will NOT make the top 10, guaranteed. I can assure you as well that Simon will rip her apart when it comes to the point in the competition when talent actually starts to matter.

Agreed 100%. At the end of the day, the judges are there to boost the ratings, not to actually create a prosperous career for their winners. Look at the appallingly low success rate of the previous seasons winners...noticing a trend yet? It's TV first and a contest second.
It's not the outfit, per se, because you can always add girls in bikinis to a show if that's all it takes. It's the controversy about the outfit. Something to talk about. The show is old, and anything that gets a little buzz going the morning after helps.
Yes because Simon was stunned and liked her attitude. On the other hand she had a decent voice. She will be gone in hollywood

I think she advanced because of the new judging system. All they need is 2 votes, hello Simon and Randy!
I also think that once she gets to Hollywood we will be surprised to hear her actually sing a decent song.

A combination of looks, attitude, and voice. See a bunch of more information about Katrina here: www.katrinadarrellonline.com
