Katrina Darrell caused a stir when she showed up for her audition in a teeny orange bikini.
Meet the real “American Idol” bikini girl: Casey Carlson.
Contestant Katrina Darrell made headlines and became a YouTube star after she showed up for “Idol’s” Phoenix, Ariz. auditions wearing an itsy-bitsy bikini and planted a big kiss on host Ryan Seacrest.
But Kansas City contender Carlson is the real deal.
The singer models in swimsuit calendars for Campus Girls USA [see here]. The company’s Web site features a gallery of Carlson – who is identified as a representative of the University of Minnesota.
Fans can purchase a calendar that features Carlson in a different sexy bikini for every month of the year. Carlson is also featured in a special edition “Girls of the Big 10” calendar, from which all proceeds are donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It sells for $14.95
And she doesn’t just look good – she sounds pretty good too.
Carlson sang Vanessa Carlton‘s “A Thousand Miles” in her audition and earned unanimous praise from four “Idol” judges.
After the singing-songwriting judge belted out a few bars to demonstrate how it should be done, Darrell shot back that her version “wasn’t any better.”
Judge Paula Abdul intervened and defused a potential faceoff.
And speaking of faceoffs – we’re wondering what will happen when the two bikini girls meet and compete.
They both made it to the next round: Hollywood.
