Cavett "Sparkles" Carr
Contestant #75950
Cavett is dating Darold Gray. Pre-audition, Cavett pronounced to the camera:
[take 1] American Idol, me and Darold will be your next —
[take 2] America, me and Darold will be the first American Idol finalists –
[take 3] American Idol, you're looking at the next couple, me and Darold, that will be getting married. Finalists."
Cavett sang Mary J. Blige's I'm Going Down, including references to Simon throughout. Post-audition, Cavett started flirting with Simon, winking at him and licking her lips, until Simon told her that she was making him nervous. Simon told Cavett, "You are fabulous, but it was the singing that was slight off-putting."
