Tealana decided to audition for American Idol to get out from under the shadow of her twin sister Stevie L., who is going to school for "performance". The Color Guard Coach noted that she and her sister had different personalities. She introduced herself to the judges as "Tealana Ron", but it was unclear if that was her middle name, a performance name, or something else. She also told Randy that he could call her "Dawg".
While Tealana was trying her best to sing Bring Me Some Water by Melissa Etheridge, Jennifer leaned over to Steven and whispered, "If you ask her for another song, I'm gonna kill you." Steven suggested she record her voice and listen to it. They told her that she was cute with a great personality but the voice just wasn't strong enough for American Idol.
