Auburn Native Kohlton Pascal Gets American Idol Golden Ticket – Kansas City Audition Recap [VIDEOS]
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.
WHOAH, Kohlton Pascal, WHOAH. Amazing vocals! #idol

Kohlton Pascal Original Song
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.
Playing with @HarryConnickJR & @KeithUrban was one of the best moments of my life. Thank you both!! #idolauditions #TurnUpForIDOL

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.
Thank you so much for this Opportunity @AmericanIdol
