Banana Ball, Pranks and A Proposal On ‘American Idol’s’ Premiere

It was a lively first audition round on the premiere of season 24 of “American Idol”. With the setting in Nashville in a ballroom named for Brad Paisley, Paisley stopped by for a fun prank on Carrie Underwood!

Contestants had their people cheering them on…like Bananaball player from the Texas Tailgaters, Jayson Arendt.

Some really great voices!

Jesse has struggled with a stutter since elementary school, but it goes away when he sings!

A 16-year-old many in the comments SHOULD have gotten a golden ticket, but instead got to meet the person who wrote her audition song (who also was auditioning!!)

A marriage proposal!

And a tearjerker with a message to end the show…

Should be a great season airing Monday nights at 8pm and the next day on Hulu!
