Theo Glinton
Contestant #66969
You couldn't help but notice Theo. He had a thick layer of glitter on his face and at least 15 mirrored discs on one side, set off by a couple feathers wrapped around his cheek. He also had on a sort of shawl that also had mirrored discs all over it.
Pre-audition, Theo said, "My gift is something that you get only on particular days. I'm just something you could get a piece of on Monday and then on Tuesday when you put it in the microwave and warm it up, it's still good."
Simon asked Theo where he thought he would be in 10 years if he won American Idol 9 and Theo said that he would be running a corporate salon and working as a fashion designer.
After singing Pat Benetar's Heartbreaker, the judges let Theo know that he would not be moving on to Hollywood. Kara invited him over to the judges table when he became sad and Kara tried to make him feel better by telling him that he smelled nice. Theo wandered off stage left but missed the exit. Instead, he wandered around behind the set walls, trying to find his way out.
While waiting for Theo to come out, Ryan chatted with the three people who were there to support him. Two of them said that they were friends and the third one answered, "Umm . . . you could say we're like best friends 'cuz I'm his assistant."
Theo emerged from the audition room, said he didn't make it, and then answered Ryan's post-interview questions while Ryan picked the mirrored discs off of his face.
