American Idol in New Orleans:
Sarah Sellers, Jacee Badeaux Impress

After getting off to a strong start in New Jersey, the new American Idol panel hit the Big Easy last night.

As Steven Tyler continued to share random thoughts and jokes (our favorite: seeing a husky Randy Jackson in a photo from a high school sporting event and asking, "Which is the shot put?"), two contestants stood out. We've posted their audition videos below.

Sarah Sellers: Large-lipped 28-year-old describes herself as a "marketing analyst by day, an aspiring singer and a food and music blogger." Tyler adored her version of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love," sang here:



Jacee Badeaux: A 15-year old summed up by J. Lo as being "So sweet and SOOOO CUUUUUTE!" Close your eyes, listen to him sing an Otis Redding classic and ask yourself: Couldn't this be Justin Bieber?
