I get sharp pains sometimes when watching American Idol, but that's nothing compared to what Antoria Gillon experienced while auditioning for judges in Texas. 9-months pregnant Gillon started to have contractions while waiting for her turn in the spotlight, and then went ahead and sang anyways. Apparently feeling like your body is being crushed under a truck helps you hit those high notes, because Gillon sang well enough to make it back for the next round.
Gillon gave birth to a healthy baby boy who she named Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan.
Of course, she'll make it through to the finals, because American Idol loves a good story, and what could trump going into labor in front of the judges and then naming your baby 'Idol'? Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go sell my blind grandma so I can buy a bus ticket to get to the Miami auditions.
