American Idol took itself to Kansas City, Missouri for the latest round of auditions. Here's who stood out the most for us:

Danny Gokey: Tragically, his wife died a month before the audition. Randy told the singer: “I think you’re one of the best we’ve seen."

Lil Rounds: A mother of three that was inspired to try out after a tornado destroyed her home.  Told by Simon: “I think you’re absolutely fantastic."

Casey Carlson: Very cute, talented. “I see a package here,” new judge Kara said.

Von Smith: Over the top with his vocals, but obvious vocal chops.

Ashley Anderson: Impressed us with rendition of "Footprints in the Sand" by Leona Lewis.
