Julie Dubela
Contestant #71409
Julie was one of the top 20 on the only season of American Juniors, so she figured that she'd try out for American Idol now that she's old enough.
Julie sang Janis Joplin's Me and Bobby McGee, but it didn't go over well with the judges. Simon asked Julie if she had ever been called precocious, and Julie asked him what "precocious" meant.
Simon complained that the audition was over-rehearsed. While Simon was giving her advice, Julie broke into Mariah Carey's Butterfly. Simon reaffirmed his feeling that she needed to stop the playacting in front of the camera.
After the audition, Julie complained that the judges had said she was acting, and then she went off into a drama queen act that involved even more acting than in her rehearsal.
As we watched Julie's tirade out the building, we were also treated to Julie's 12-year-old performance on American Juniors.
Julie parting words: "Don't audition for American Idol. Don't watch the show."
