Auburn New York native Kohlton Pascal, who calls himself a drifter, will drift to Hollywood after impressing the American Idol judges during his Kansas City audition.

Kohlton Pascal

Kohlton Pascal, who never stays in the same place for more than 2 or 3 days, will call Hollywood home. His original song caught the judges ears but theys found themselves in a conundrum. Keith Urban was impressed but hesitant, 'I really like your talent. I love the sound of your voice. I was interested in what you were singing. Visually not so much. Audibly, if it was on a record, I would buy it and that would be on my playlist. How far can you go in this competition? I don't know, but I really like your talent.' Despite the disconnect from his voice to his looks, Pascal got his golden ticket. Now he just needs to get a bit of a makeover if he wants to make it.

Ellen Peterson

Ellen Peterson broke out the banjo to perform 'I Wanna Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart' and received three yeses and a golden ticket to Hollywood. Before leaving, Keith and Harry Connick Jr had a request; the Beverly Hillbillies theme song. The three sang together to the amazement of Jennifer Lopez, who'd never heard the song before. I guess they don't get the Beverly Hillbillies in the Bronx.

Anton Bushner

One of Keith Urban's biggest fans, Anton Bushner had enough nerve to sing a Keith song in front of Keith. His version of 'Tonight I Wanna Cry' was good enough to earn him a golden ticket. I'm not sure he's good enough to make the top 24, but at least he got to meet his idol.

Auditions continue tonight on Fox at 8, as JLo, Harry Connick Jr and Adam Lambert head to New York City. Lambert is filling in for Urban who took some time off when his wife's father passed away.
