American idol bikini girl Katrina Darrell

And I missed the episode too. Oh well at least I can look up pictures up on the internet like everyone else is this morning. I quit watching because it is the same old thing every year.

American idol bikini girl Katrina Darrell has become the latest viral hit of American idol season Number 8.

Katrina Darrell wore as little as she was legally able to American Idol auditions in Phoenix, Arizona and it appears that the 20-year-old model from Chino Hills, California is on her way to Hollywood.

Darrell takes the stage and sings "Vision of Love" wearing high heels and a string bikini.

After judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell voted yes, new judge Kara DioGuardi put her foot down, sung a few bars herself to show how the song should have been handled.

Yet the sassy Darrell made it through to the next round.

Leading up to Tuesday night's premiere of "American Idol," the stage was set for big changes: co-creator Nigel Lithgoe was out, a new fourth judge was in, and producers promised fewer bad auditions and more "reality."

It ended up being the same old same old.
