R.I.P. Alexis Cohen...you are a star in Heaven now and everyone is cheering you!! My thoughts and prayers are with the Cohen family. This is so tragic and such a young soul gone too soon!
She actually has a powerful voice that would be worth trying to train for a while to see if she could do better. She should just do scales first using the piano to train her pitch.
I don't care how she looks, she 's not for pop songs, and that's what they are (sadly) looking for. This woman has an AWESOME voice! She should be in a band.
She had a great voice, but she completely embarassed herself after the audition. People have to learn to realise that these shows are aimed at the mainstream audience who will listen to almost anything on the radio. Simon Cowell especially is looking for someone he can present to the mainstream. He isn't looking for talent. This girl had a brilliant voice. R.I.P.
She really wasn't THAT bad. Her timing was way off, but you could tell her heart was into it. Her peaceful attitude totally disappeared when she didn't hear what she wanted to hear. And she didn't leave with dignity.
It wasn't because she was a bad singer, she clearly can sing. but I think she was rejected because of the limitations she imposed on herself by picking artists so far from the present.
This is not bad, people! She's just a different type of performer - not for mainstream, and commercial stuff. Her vocals are totally band worthy. Simon said it well, not for this show, but definitely HAS talent.
Paula said she was talented and Randy and Simon said that she could be in a band, but she just wasn't right for this competition. The truth is she really could sing.
That's what's wrong with all the Idol shows. They're looking for the next pop star who doesn't write their own songs. There are gems out there with incredible vocal range that don't make it, simply because they don't have the ability to downgrade themselves into the pop genre. The best kept musical secrets are rarely ever discovered.
Alexis Cohen American Idol contestant was found dead in Seaside Heights New Jersey Saturday July 25, 2009. A car struck her and took off from the scene. Alexis was found lying on a road by someone who was going by and they happen to come upon her body and call 911. The ambulance took Alexis to a near by Hospital and was pronounced dead upon arrival at 6:30 A.M. Alexis sustained upper torso injuries as well as injuries to her lower extremities
i woulve said she had a good attitude about being denied but then she walked out and showed her other side i hate it when people do that and onsidering how he usually is, simon was really nice to her
Ryan's face expression when she exits... o_O Wow! And yes, her voice is great... there is a genre for that not necessarily for American idol (diverse styles and genres). The judges are not always right...
She really wasn't THAT bad. Her timing was way off, but you could tell her heart was into it. Her peaceful attitude totally disappeared when she didn't hear what she wanted to hear. And she didn't leave with dignity. And she screwed up the lyrics. And Billy Joel wrote the song "Allentown".
At first when she introduces herself it stil gives people a pleasent impression of her.. until she walks out of the room and shows her sore loser attitude.
She rocked, and was much better than 95% of the singers you hear on the show. She was into the music, sounded allot like Grace Slick, but was definately pretty crazy. But then again shouldnt any decent musician be somewhat nutty.
I honestly didn't think her voice was bad at all and they weren't saying her voice was bad either. Her was voice would be more appropriated for rock which is what they were saying.
I think the judges had it spot on, she'd be perfect in some 60s/70s cover band. Her voice does sound a bit like Grace Slick and she has a pushy attitude as well that would be fine in smallish venues. That's her limits though.
Alexis was actually a good singer. She was also a good artist and she was very funny!!! She would have been a great actress also therefor she was actually very talented.
@Shasha63 yeah.. she was killed last year in a hit and run: "She was killed on July 25, 2009, in Seaside Heights, N.J., after being struck by a vehicle. Police say Bark was fleeing police and struck her as she was crossing the street. She was 25." It's sad, she seems like she was very nice and a good person.. I pray she's in peace.
I actually think this audition wasn't that bad. She definitely wasn't perfect, but she didn't really suck. She just needed to work on her pitch and being in tune.
Alexis Cohen aka Glitter Girl was hit by a car and killed early Saturday morning in Seaside Heights, NJ. She was only 25. The police say they are treating her death as a homicide and currently looking for the hit-and-run driver.
Her voice is not bad... but it's not good either. XDDD When she was talking before the audition I was like "Oh, she's nice. She's kind of weird looking, but she's nice." And then when she came out of the audition. I was like "Holy shit. This lady has problems." XDD
her voice was rockin!! i liked her voice but sadly i dont think she has the "right" kind" of style that american idol would like :/ i think they look for more pop sounding people, idk thats just what i think
I heard it on WDVE Pittsburgh.... I'm not joking... She was from Allentown Pa, about 2 hrs from here... Her name was Alexa something, she was attending college and was struck by a car
OK...... i like her voice..... i mean if Janice Joplin auditioned w/ her kind of voice she would have not made it because her voice is different.....but now she is an idol. its unique :) i like it
She actually wasnt that bad, but not good enough for idol. Should've focused more on trying to be original rather than sound like Grace Slick. And I don't get why she got so upset, they weren't that mean (well, not until after she left).
I remember hearing she got hit by a car and passed away. sad
if she was in a 80's rock band, she'd be good!
she sings very well!!!
"I have two cats because I'm studying to be a vet."
My face = O.O; "Those poor cats she's experimenting on!"
She would be perfect for heavy metal! I love her voice!
She actually had a really good voice.
RIP Alexis
please stop tapeing the TV its sucks
"allentown" was by billy Joel
Not bon jovi.
Rip girl.
I give her credit for being brave enough to go on Idol at all. She did more than anyone else did by proving herself.
R.I.P. Alexis Cohen...you are a star in Heaven now and everyone is cheering you!! My thoughts and prayers are with the Cohen family. This is so tragic and such a young soul gone too soon!
Someone's stuck in the 80's...just because you were born in them doesn't mean you have to stay there, hun...
She actually has a powerful voice that
would be worth trying to train for a while to see if she could do better.

Neither did the judges. Which is why they suggested the idea of a 60's cover band. She isn't cut out for the type of singing they are looking for.
It wasn't because she was a bad singer, she clearly can sing. but I think she was rejected because of the limitations she imposed on herself by picking artists so far from the present.

God, her poor mom. They lived together so they must've been close. Can only imagine what she went through.

Great HQ vid, cheers. Crystal clear image and sound. Wow, you ever thought of making films professionally for a living?
The poor thing. To think that her life was cut short on last year, but she had a good heart. God bless her family, especially her heartbroken mother.
idk wat shes so upset about. thats the only time ive ever see simon reject someone but not be insanely rude
for a girl with such an inspiring philosophy she took that rejection kinda hard
Her voice is okay, actually. It reminds me a lot of singers back in the 60's and 70's. She had a few decent notes, though.
"I will leave with my dignity" Yeah right! Simon was actually very realistic and much less rude then usually. She just couldn't handle being rejected
she seems so sweet. and she really wasn't that bad. with a few months of training she could have made it to the top ten if not the top twenty.
I don't know why people thought she was so bad. She reminds me of Pat Benatar or Joan Jett. Plus she had that rockstar personality.
i woulve said she had a good attitude about being denied but then she walked out and showed her other side i hate it when people do that and onsidering how he usually is, simon was really nice to her
She's actually really good. She's clearly nuts but I think it's stupid to say she's one of the worst singers!
i like how she said she was gonna leave with her dignity. as if she even had any before she went on the show...
Ryan's face expression when she exits... o_O Wow!
And yes, her voice is great... there is a genre for that not necessarily for American idol (diverse styles and genres). The judges are not always right...
Her voice was not great.
She really wasn't THAT bad. Her timing was way off, but you could tell her heart was into it. Her peaceful attitude totally disappeared when she didn't hear what she wanted to hear. And she didn't leave with dignity. And she screwed up the lyrics.
And Billy Joel wrote the song "Allentown".
2 errors
"Actressing"
and "I'm going to be an actor"
Well, unless she's a boy, then actor is correct.
She was actually has a really good voice. Simon was right she should be in a band, she's too good to be on American Idol.
NOT the worst.... I agree with the judges, she HAS potential, but she did NOT rate the 'worst'....
At first when she introduces herself it stil gives people a pleasent impression of her.. until she walks out of the room and shows her sore loser attitude.
it's now completely acceptable for women to be referred to as actors.
actually, I don't think she's that bad at all... she's got that old school rock 'n roll kinda voice, she'd be pretty good with a rock band
She rocked, and was much better than 95% of the singers you hear on the show. She was into the music, sounded allot like Grace Slick, but was definately pretty crazy. But then again shouldnt any decent musician be somewhat nutty.
She was actually really good, but not for that kind of competition.
The thing is, she actually doesn't have a BAD voice, she's just a kind of odd character
if she was transported back to the 80's..she'd be a hit
She seemed so nice until the end! :O
I honestly didn't think her voice was bad at all and they weren't saying her voice was bad either. Her was voice would be more appropriated for rock which is what they were saying.
"TAKE IT SIMON! TAKE IT TAKE IT TAKE IT!" Like that's the first time Simon's heard that...
twilightfan399
I agree, because she had a very powerful voice. Maybe backup vocals, or a group would've worked out for her.
The beginning of the video was enough for me ... U have my vote ... No need to hear u singing ... U r so sweet ^_^
Shame im 2 years late for that lol
She sounds like she would be better on rock idol. Pretty good imo
aww how sad what a cool lady and shes not one of the worst singers
I actually like her style and she can sing....... I think she would've did pretty well in the competition.
i like this singer. she wasnt so bad, and i like her personality
i didnt think she was terrible at all. just a new song that needs more power...her voice was too powerful for this song.
this really made me sad knowing that she passes away. it must be so hard for her mother:'(
she died. she was found in a parking garage a car hit hurt. she was in a hit and run accident. she came back season 8 all normal tho
I think she actually has a rather good voice, just not for the type of music that American Idol is trying to sell.
"I'm gonna leave with my dignity" she sez before she goes on and on, erasing any vestiges of the dignity she thought she had. Shame.
This girl Alexis should not be on this list, she actually does not sing all that bad. Poor girl.
this girl has a sick-ass voice...they just didn't like her cause she's not rihanna or justin beiber
she's not as bad as people think.... she really does have the the authentic sound of janis joplin... she could be the head of a great band.
Considering her vocal influences, she has a pretty decent voice.
I think the judges had it spot on, she'd be perfect in some 60s/70s cover band. Her voice does sound a bit like Grace Slick and she has a pushy attitude as well that would be fine in smallish venues. That's her limits though.
Alexis was actually a good singer. She was also a good artist and she was very funny!!! She would have been a great actress also therefor she was actually very talented.
people get down on psych meds, but people like her make me very glad that we have them.
i still remember when i saw this on my tv. i LOL'd so much and felt awkward cuz my grandpa was watching it with me... xP but funny! :DDD
can i just point out that he wasn't rude at all. he was frank. she doesn't have a bad voice. it's just not right for that kind of competition.
her singing was much better of all other. can't see what was wrong with her
@Shasha63 yeah.. she was killed last year in a hit and run:
"She was killed on July 25, 2009, in Seaside Heights, N.J., after being struck by a vehicle. Police say Bark was fleeing police and struck her as she was crossing the street. She was 25."
It's sad, she seems like she was very nice and a good person.. I pray she's in peace.
Yes, Alexis Cohen died a couple years ago. She was hit by a car...
she didnt deserve that......her voice is very nice i think
this lady serious gives real artists a bad name. crazy.
hey she's pretty good
she just doesnt seem to have mainstream vocals which is what they want -_-
WOW, they should have given her a chance. She was great in my opinion. I feel bad for her.
#9 was awesome, maybe not for idol but i loved her voice
Wtf she wasn't bad. She could be a rockstar if she wanted to. She has that raspy voice.
She wasn't so bad I laughed my head off for 2 minutes and her drawing was AWESOME!!
thumbs up for not wasting money on a hypercam.
I actually think this audition wasn't that bad. She definitely wasn't perfect, but she didn't really suck. She just needed to work on her pitch and being in tune.

if she was in a 80's rock band, she'd be good.
i kinda agree with them but i think she belongs in a band singing older rock songs she wasnt one of the worst i liked it
"I'll leave with my dignity??" I could argue with that comment....lol
"...he was a big fat BAD WORD. VERY VERY BAD WORDS." XD I'm totally gonna quote that.
1:20 "dad whats up with this banana?!?" haha i love my brother.
they were actually objective. they werent brutal. she is good for a band, but not right for this competition.
Her artwork actually looks pretty damn good.
her voice was rockin!! i liked her voice but sadly i dont think she has the "right" kind" of style that american idol would like :/ i think they look for more pop sounding people, idk thats just what i think
I really like her voice. I didn't think she was bad at all. But I agree that she wasn't right for the competition.
I would've wanted her to be the lead singer in my band.
she's actually pretty good. she's just mimicking the original song too much.
He was channelling Janis Joplin but she's doin a Jefferson Airplane cover (imitatin the voice of the great Grace Slick)
I feel bad for the guy outside the door and her mom. They looked really uncomfortable.
I heard it on WDVE Pittsburgh.... I'm not joking... She was from Allentown Pa, about 2 hrs from here... Her name was Alexa something, she was attending college and was struck by a car
She's not that bad, I certainly wouldn't have called her worst singer.
She definitely can sing, at least she's not a blind note
she actually isnt terrible, i dont think simon was very mean to her as he is to other people
OK...... i like her voice..... i mean if Janice Joplin auditioned w/ her kind of voice she would have not made it because her voice is different.....but now she is an idol. its unique :) i like it
