Well, Claudia Conway's American Idol audition finally aired.
The daughter of former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway and lawyer George Conway faced the judges during the season premiere of the singing competition's 19th season.
The whole thing was...interesting.
Here's what happened:
As soon as Claudia walked onstage, judge Katy Perry immediately asked her, "Are you OK?" "No, but yes," Claudia replied.
There was a brief montage featuring Conway's parents — yes, both of them. Kellyanne appeared via video call, whereas George was shown fist-bumping Claudia and waiting outside the studio during the audition. Again, just weird stuff to watch.
As for the audition itself:
First, Claudia sang Rihanna's "Love on the Brain" for a bit before Perry cut her off and asked her to try another song. Then, Claudia gave Adele's "When We Were Young" a shot.
The judges deliberated, and by a vote of 2-1 — with Luke Bryan casting the dissenting vote — they decided to send Conway to Hollywood. So it seems like she's going to be on American Idol for a bit longer.

She is marginal at best. Comparatively, she needs to be damped in the next round! IMHO, horrible.
at least she’s on a world stage trying to do something positive for herself instead of wasting her time belittling people on the internet...
she is not even 18, yet she looks like a tired David Lee Roth with NONE of his talent. Her destiny is to work in a brothel in post apocalyptic America, right before China lets loose the last bioweapon.
The lipstick was all wrong. Her voice was forced and wound up too tight. Even with the accompaniment of a piano, she had pitch problems. If they had Simon Cowell as a judge, you would have heard from him.
there is one reason, and one reason only, she got through. and we all know it.
American Idol is many things but it is not really a “talent contest”. It is entertainment first and foremost and for reasons only the producers know, drama is entertaining (not to me but to most of their audience).
Claudia Conway is just a cog in their machine. She will be used as long as she is useful (pulling in supporters) and she will be dropped when her usefulness is over.
Katy Perry looks like Meghan McCain and the Conway girl is not very talented or interesting. Her father is a mess. Needs to hit the gym and find a new barber.
She can’t sing, she’s not pretty, just plain with lots of makeup on, and they will use her for controversy, and at some point discard her like the wet rag she is.
the people on this thread that are trashing her are evil...
and yet they have the nerve to talk sh*t about her parents...
hypocrisy is on full display here...
She’s already a mess so going to Hollywood will wreak havoc on her.

Well, Joe Biden had 38,000 views on his speech today compared to 775,000 for President Trump. Maybe American Idol is setting up a competition, where Ivanka or some other Trump is on the show as well. The audience call-in vote would be interesting....
Maybe they should change their name to American Idiot. Oh, wait, that’s a Green Day song, never mind.
I think you understand the formula for AMERICAN IDOL correctly.
maybe this thread should change its name to american idiot for picking on a minor...
or american idiot for picking on a minor while trashing her parents...
or american idiot for their display of hypocrisy...
Yeah, that’s what she’s doing . . .
Well, I gotta disagree a bit. She WAS AWFUL! They only wanted her on because of her political stupidity and some drama.
Shouldn’t this be in the uhnng post.
Ed later.
Is that you George? I didn’t picture you as a heavy metal fan.
