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.

wasn’t talking about she...

was talking about the evildoers on this thread trashing a minor...

[heavy metal]

because your assumption painted the wrong name as well as the wrong picture...

smart people never assume anything...

Agreed. She was terrible. Pinched sounding voice that was hard to endure even for that short audition. A few seconds at the beginning of the Adele song made me think I might be able to through it, but no.

Nope. He is interested in pillows

Good thing for me that rain delayed the Daytona 500, and I got to watch that instead.

I sometimes did watch AI-—BUT NEVER AGAIN...

My misunderstanding, I stand (sit) corrected.
