You Tube Goodness: Frankie Jordan, Plus Taylor Vaifanua, David Osmond, Jarrett Burns and Rose Flack
Frankie Jordan is the Salt Lake City auditioner (watch her audition) who wowed the judges with her performance of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m Know Good”.
Turns out, Frankie, who lives in Los Angeles right now, has a song on the Win a Date with Ted Hamilton soundtrack called “Once Again”.
Check it out: She also performs the tune live at the LA HOB HERE. Also, listen to her tunes on her MySpace page. According to Vote for the Worst, the song peaked at #43 on the Pop Airplay chart. Plus she’s got a song, “Good Time” on a compilation called BYou.
Taylor Vaifanua, (Watch her audition) the 16 year old Salt Lake City auditioner the judges just seemed to adore has taken down her Website, MySpace and Videos. Vote for the Worst has a source that says she was a favorite in Hollywood.
I’ll bet Taylor made it to the Top 36. Oh, yes I will.
We only caught a few seconds of Jarrett Burns. (watch his audition) If you like him, you can download his single “This Life” from iTunes.
I almost forgot David Osmond. (watch his audition) Check out what I wrote about him back in November, HERE. I love that he registered every domain name he could think of… lolz.
And finally Rose Flack, (watch her audition) the young Salt Lake City auditioner who lost her Dad at 13 and her mom at 15, has a bare bones MySpace up. But it’s worth a look. Funny!

Oh come on! She’s already making it then. gee
Seems a bit unfair doesn’t it. All these second chancers and the “little” guy/girl who wouldn’t know what the inside of a music studio looked like, who doesn’t have a job, is a single mom, etc. going up against the “pros”.
I can’t understand why these judges who are pros, don’t recognize some of these professional singers. They seem “surprised” to find such good talent.
What?! Frankie Jordan was billed last night as a Waitress/Mom, what a crock!
I liked her but I won’t be voting for her now if she already has a recording history. I had a feeling she was a little more professional than they were letting on LOL oh well.
I’ve decided that I really don’t give a d— about the history of the contestants, their back stories, their performance history, have they made records, etc.
Since AI, obviously, is not and has never been a search for undiscovered talent, the fact the amount of contestants with professional history has escalated is not a surprise.
I’m going to approach this season like I did early on, before I got caught up in researching every fringing little thing on the web.
The Singer with the best voice, good stage presence, a winning personality and someone whose record I would buy is going to get my vote.
I love the Osmonds, but I don’t think my heart could take another awesome David again this season.
I think David Osmond is as adorable as his uncle Donny was back in the day. He’s got a nice smooth, well-trained voice. That said, what is his musical niche, I wonder?
ETA: Am I the only who wasn’t wowed by Frankie Jordan’s audition? She’s cute, and Simon’s type, but she sounded like she was mimicing Amy Winehouse.
Same thing with Taylor. Cute, tall girl – very Jordan-esque, and she was mimicing the Lauryn Hill from Sister Act 2.
i totally know that frankie jordan song! i had no idea that was her singing that though. I thought it was someone else. Hmm..
I’d like to hear her sing something else…something more obscure. Amy Winehouse is too current, so of course she’ll suffer some comparisons. Plus, she looks a little like her.
There’s more of a rasp to Amy’s voice that restricts her from being mimicked, but I’d like to think Frankie would fair well in a more jazzy genre versus songs similar to “Once Again.”
Also, I wonder if some weren’t more put off by her slightly cocky/over-confident pre-audition video.
