During Wednesday night’s (February 23) “American Idol” round 2 auditions in Las Vegas, Jennifer Lopez, along with fellow judges, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler, searched for the next star.
They were tasked with narrowing the group of 61 hopefuls down to 40, which would in turn be trimmed to 24 as the show made it’s return to Hollywood where it would resume its normal weekly format.
Wednesday’s (Feb 23) competition saw the lucky 40 challenged with the task of performing their very own renditions of legendary Beatles songs.
Although the Beatles’ renditions made for a very exciting night, it was 26-year-old Chris Medina, the barista from Oak Forest, Illinois who ultimately stole the show.
