A born Idol
Antoria Gillon, 20, of Dallas, a few days short of a full nine months pregnant, waited for 16 hours (starting at 2:30 a.m.) outside Texas Stadium in Dallas to audition for next season's "American Idol."
She did get her chance -- and her golden ticket to Hollywood -- for auditioning while in labor.
"I felt something over my body while I was walking," she told USAToday from her hospital bed. "I knew right away what it was. I was singing and the judge stopped and asked if I was OK, and I said, 'I just want to finish my song.'"
The fact that Antoria says "the judge" rather than Simon, Randy or Paula, leads me to believe that this happened in front of a producer. But if this was filmed, I'm sure we'll be seeing it as next season opens.
The baby? He's adorable. And he's named Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan.
