Adam Lambert mention: Jax marks the spot on 'American Idol'

Jax's audition in New York captured the "yes" votes of 'American Idol' Season 14 judges Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert. On Wednesday, she heads into "Hollywood Week" on the Fox TV show.

Everyone who auditions for "American Idol" on Fox comes to shine, make a memorable impression on the judges and get that golden ticket to Hollywood. Eighteen-year-old Jax was no different. Inwardly nervous yet sure of her talent, Jax sat down at a piano before Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert and performed The Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand." It was haunting and sweet and soulful and memorable. So much so that the judges coined a new word just for her — "shonfident" — a mix of shy and confident.
Jax's audition captured the attention and "yes" votes of "American Idol" Season 14 judges Connick, Lopez and Season 8 contestant Adam Lambert, who was filling in for judge Keith Urban. Wednesday night will see her, along with about 220 others, head into "Hollywood Week," a taped part of the national competition that happened in October.

Is she the young woman that told Adam that she voted for him? She was really talented if that is the one!

Yes, she did say she voted for Adam . She's the only one I remember from that night. Her father was firefighter in NYC during 9/11

Adam was #83 on Glamour magazine Sexiest 2015 list. Wish I would have know about I would have voted.

Thanks, I thought so. Adam really liked her talent; and said that she was cute, or adorable or something like that, if I remember correctly! I thought their interaction was nice!

Oh yes, I thought to myself after she sang 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'...I didn't know this song could be sung like that. The Beatles was my era, yes made an impression on me. I watched AI when Adam was on the panel, for 2 hours lol! Now, off and on.

After watching the night Adam was on I thought I would try to watch this season. But then I realized- nope! Adam was the only reason I felt I wanted to start watching. Lol once he was missing from the next episode I lost interest. And I was shocked to read that ratings dropped the night Adam was on. :( how could that be?

Really liked Jax. Appears quite talented and young so she has many years to ripen and hone her craft. Her father being one of the rescuers in at TWTC on 9/11 is an extra moving feature about her story.

And I agree with Adam...she is adorable.

Anon 7:46pm.... I'm thinking that the numbers may have been lower primarily due to Keith's absence. He seems to have quite a bit of draw among AI viewers. Maybe one night of Adam just wasn't enough...
Perhaps if Adam were a regular judge, we'd see higher viewer numbers reflected toward that. Just some thoughts... :)

I think it is a domino effect. The day before, on wednesday, A Idol had very weak episode witch can affect the next day ratings also.
On Thursday episode was actually very good,with Adam :), and that got publicity on web + youtube Adam's " new addition" got many clicks.
And you will get high ratings the next time as you saw did happen.
