Steven "Red" Thoen
Contestant #74846
Steven is called Red because he truly is a redhead. From his red hair to his red facial hair, he has earned his name.
Red sang Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in the highest pitch he could muster — so high, in fact, that many of the notes never made it out of his mouth.
After singing, he told the judges that he felt that a bit of coaching would help him win the audition. He challenged Simon to coach him and prove that he was a great vocal coach, but Simon told him, "It would be like coaching a one-legged man to win the 100 meter sprint."
Red's parting message to the judges was, "Hey, the way I see it, don't — don't be about it — er, don't, hey — don't sing about it, be about. All right? Don't sing it, just bring it. Aight?"
