DeAnna Prevatte
Contestant #52588
DeAnna is from Kelly Pickler's hometown of Albemarle, North Carolina.
DeAnna is a waitress, and she told Simon that her least favorite crowd was the "all you can eat" Sunday crowd that keeps ordering plate after plate of food, making the waitresses run back and forth to deliver the food.
DeAnna sang Reba Mcentire's Fancy. Throughout the song, she sang very loudly and with an almost angry expression on her face.
Simon told her to stop and called her "Deana" (dee-nah) and DeAnna immediately corrected him: "De-Anna. That's why I spell my name with a capital A, just to eliminate the whole Deana. It's De-Anna."
Simon mentioned that the performance was a bit angry, and DeAnna said that the song was supposed to be angry. Simon suggested that perhaps it was the "annoying" restaurant-goers who annoyed her.
Before her audition, DeAnna said, "If I don't sound any better than Kelly Pickler, I really don't want to be here." Be careful what you wish for . . .
