American Idol Contestant Goes into Labor While Auditioning

American Idol Contestant Goes into Labor While Auditioning

The show must go on, I guess.

A woman auditioning for American Idol in Texas last Monday went into labor while singing for the judges. Antoria Gillon, 20, wasn’t actually due until August 9, so she thought it was totally reasonable for her to wait in line for 16 hours and go through with the audition process.

“I felt something over my body when I was walking,” she said. “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.'”

An ambulance pulled up and everyone urged her to get in. “I said, ‘Well, I haven’t gotten my golden ticket yet,’ ” she said. She finished singing, got the “golden ticket,” and went off to the hospital, where she delivered her second child, a healthy baby boy.

So what’d she name the kid? Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan. Which I’m sure will be a really fun reminder for the rest of her life when she doesn’t make it to the finals.

  • Sad to be 20 with 2 children and I’m sure she’s not married & they have 2 different fathers. We have got to do better than we are. We as a people should stop wondering why “white america” talks so bad about us or how we are stereo typed when we continue to do it to ourselves. JUST SAD!

  • To the person that just commented, how can you judge this woman if you don’t even know her? You are just like everyone else. Why can’t you just be happy for her and not be all in her business, I mean so what if she isn’t married, that was her choice to have a baby, its so sad how that beautiful story had to get turned around so fast. You should be ashamed of yourself.

  • I agree. i cannot believe “Na Tasha” is that d**m ignorant that, that is the only thing that she got out of this story! She had absolutely nothing positive to say at all. Before I get “pissed” let’s get on a lighter note: Congrads!! and good luck on American Idol I hope she does well, even if she doesn’t make it to the top she has already been blessed!

  • @ Na Tasha
    You are the reason why white ppl talk about us. Don’t judge anyone unless you want to be judged. You have no idea what is going on in this woman life.

  • @ Na Tasha

    u just assumed a hell of a lot 2 not even know this woman. YOU’RE sad! how can u say you’re SURE about some aspect of another person’s life??? u sound very ignorant. YOU should start doing better for yourself by educating yourself and not jumping to stereotypical conclusions. smh!

  • Natasha you will probably end up with kids and not be marriend guys can tell you anything.her kids could be the president.DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE.I bet your life is not that good??????????????????????

  • na tasha,no i’ll just come at you like you know how to do, i bet you dont have a pot to piss in.YOU DONT KNOW ANTHING ABOUT THIS YOUNG LADY SHE CAN BE MARRIED AND JUST DELIVERED HER HUSBANDS FIRST BORN SON OR SHE MIGHT JUST BE THE NEXT FANTASIA AND I HOPE YOU ARE THE FIRST TO EAT YOUR WORDS. AND YOU MENTIONED WE GOT TO DO BETTER,BY YOUR POST THATS RIGHT.

  • Judge not lest ye be judged. Are you Speaking about yourself Na Tasha? How stupid of you to ASSUME that she is not married and had different fathers. For all you know she could be already married. My parents got married very young so it it not out of the ordinary. You are a sad case and has the nerve to call someone else sad. Stop hating. Should I assume that you must be a barren board that’s just upset to see someone else produce? Just stand in a corner and face a wall you fool.

  • First off congrad’s to Antoria on the baby and making the next round. Second why does everything have to be a awhite or black issue? Hell we all go through things and NaTasha…… bless your heart. It does not really matter that she is 20 going on baby #2, that is is or is not married, or if the children have different fathers… I can assure you she is not the first or the last and it’s not just a black thing.
    This girl has a dream… and that dream gave her ambition and motivation to act on it and not keep dreaming about it…. for that I give her props… Maybe it’s not her that needs to do better, maybe it is you.

    GOOD LUCK ANTORIA!!!

  • A anotoria, you know who this is right ? This is your brother in law. Congradulations! I talked to my mom for the first time since I been in Iraq and her and my brother were telling me about it. I had to see it myself. Its sad that this is the first time that I seen my nephew, after everyone else has seen him. You still gonna sing at my wedding when ever I do decide to get married right ?
