American Idol Contestant Gina Venier Blows The Roof Off the 97ZOK Studios

Gina Venier of Dixon wants to be YOUR next American Idol. After getting her "golden ticket" to Hollywood, she stopped by our studios and shared her amazing talent.

Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and especially Keith Urban loved her. And now so do we. When she arrived at our studios carrying the same instruments she took into Idol's studios to sing for a chance to go to Hollywood Week, we knew she was coming here to blow the roof off. She did just that!

For her audition in front of Jennifer, Harry and Keith, Gina did two songs but only one of them made it to TV. The song that didn't, a very cool re-working of JLo's "If You Had My Love."

I was also pumped when Gina shared, that in addition to the guitar, she's also a drummer. She learned to play the drums from her dad, who was in the studio with us. How could I not ask if this drummer could sit on her box drum (Cajon) and play the song she did on TV. That song was by an artist named ZZ Ward and the song, "Put The Gun Down." And since her 'drum teacher' was sitting right there, why not make it a trio. This was, just about, the most fun I've ever had in the 20 years I've been in that studio. I'm calling this day, "4 On The Floor Friday!"

Here are the videos of the 97ZOK studio performances.

As charming as she is talented, it will come as no surprise if she survives Hollywood Week. On the Season 14 premier, Idol did something new, they revealed the Top 24 right away. Well... sort of. Take a look at this video of their faces hidden and see if you can find Gina. The wait to know for sure is going to suck. Good luck Gina!
