Why is she the Hotness of the Day? I’ll tell you:
Talk about pregnant pauses: An American Idol contestant’s audition was interrupted Monday when she went into labor, an Idol first.
Antoria Gillon, 20, of Dallas, wasn’t due to give birth until today, so she thought it was safe to wait in line outside Texas Stadium in Irving starting at 2:30 a.m. Monday for her first shot at the singing competition.
Just as she finally had her chance after waiting for 16 hours, “I felt something over my body when I was walking,” she said in a telephone interview from her hospital bed Wednesday after giving birth to a healthy boy — her second — Tuesday morning.
“I knew right away what it was. I was singing, and the judge stopped and asked if I was OK, and I said, ‘I just want to finish my song.’ ”
Just so you know, she did get the thumbs up to go to the next round, but was it just because she was in labor or was it because she was a good singer? I guess we’ll find out.
