The 12th season of American Idol premiered on Wednesday, January 16, 2013. As usual, the show started with its initial auditions. And we got our first look at the new judges. Randy Jackson has returned, but American Idol 12 is the first season for all the other judges. They are Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, and Nicki Minaj. Ryan Seacrest is returning to host the show.
I will embed Jessica Kartalis’s YouTube audition video as soon as it is available. That could take a little time.
Jessica’s Audition:
This audition was on the very first show of the season (January 16). It took place in New York City.
Jessica Kartalis is 19 years old.
Jessica was nominated by her mother.
She sings an original song, but the name was not mentioned. She messed up a little bit when playing the guitar. This girl needs to practice more, but she has a decent voice.
Nicki says she is not quite ready. Maybe she should develop more and come back next year. Randy says she is not quite ready yet. And Keith says she is close, but it’s still a NO. She did not get any YES votes.
Predictions For Jessica Kartalis:
This girl may have just been nervous. She seemed to be fine until she started playing the guitar. Jessica has some chance of coming back later. But she doesn’t seem to be the kind of polished singer that wins Idol. Since she is a songwriter, though, there is always some chance of having some kind of career in music.

That’s a rather monotone performance. No nuances, no dynamics. I would say NO again based on that.
