Katrina Darrell, American Idol 8’s Bikini Girl

Katrina Darrell stirred quite a reaction from the judges and the viewers of the new season of American Idol. For one, she went to the audition in a bikini because, as she said in the interview, it would set her apart from the crowd.

She sang Mariah Carey’s Vision of Love but new judge Kara DioGuardi didn’t like it. Kara sang a few lines of the song to show the Bikini Girl how it should be done. Surprisingly, the almost naked girl said that the judge’s rendition “was not any better.”

Simon Cowell said “yes.” Randy Jackson, seeing a lot of potential on the Bikini Girl, also said yes. Obviously Kara DioGuardi would say no. And that left the final judgment to Paula Abdul, who surprisingly said yes, sending the girl to Hollywood.

But when Simon asked Paula if she liked it, Paula said, “It’s terrible.”
