Katrina Darrell
Contestant #32160
You know her as "Bikini Girl". And for some of you, that's all you need to know.
Katrina sang Mariah Carey's Vision of Love and, understandably, got an immediate "Yes" from Simon with no further comments. Randy noted that she had potential and gave her a "Yes" vote as well.
Kara then started in: "OK, OK, honestly? And this isn't 'cause you're a beautiful girl and I don't want this to come across as, "Well, she was angry 'cause she's beautiful and young and thin," 'cause it's not. But — [sings a section of the same song] — There's no swing." Then Kara and Katrina started singing over each other and Katrina yelled that Kara's demonstration was no better. That got Paula and Kara going, particularly when Simon agreed. Despite the friction with Kara, Katrina got the approval to go on to Hollywood.
Based on her pre-audition promise to Ryan that she would kiss him after getting the golden ticket, she searched around until she found him by the pool. Ryan started talking and Katrina stole a kiss, leaving Ryan speechless for a few seconds.
It will be interesting to see what happens when "Bikini Girl" shows up fully clothed in Hollywood and has to compete based on her voice and not her figure.
