DALLAS, Texas — For the first time in "American Idol" history, a contestant went into labor while waiting with 3,500 hopefuls for her chance to become the next superstar — and auditioned anyway.

On Monday, nine months' pregnant Antoria Gillon arrived at Texas Stadium with hopes of becoming the next "American Idol." However, as she waited patiently for her melodic moment, the 20-year-old hair stylist started having contractions.

“I didn’t want to turn around after being there all those hours in the heat with people pushing,” said Gillon. “So my friend helped me walk through the line. I wasn’t going to leave without singing.”

When she finally made it into the audition room, the ambitious performer admitted that her right hand was shaking as she grasped her bulging belly but continued to belt out tunes.

“I gave it my all through the contractions. They were back to back and getting harder and harder but I was more than willing to have my baby right there,” Gillon said. “I wasn’t leaving without my golden ticket to the next round.”

A judge stood up and gave the Dallas native her seat, and even when the ambulance arrived, Gillion refused to leave — telling them that she “wasn’t through singing yet.”

After finally hearing that she was still in the running to be the next "American Idol," the young mom was taken to the Medical Center at Lancaster, where she gave birth to a healthy son — whom she named Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan. Baby Idol arrived early Tuesday morning weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces. He's the second child for the starry-eyed singer.

“I was raised that the only failure is not trying,” Gillon said. “I always wanted to be an Idol since it started, but there was always a problem. Either it was transport or I couldn’t afford to get on the bus. So I wasn’t going to just give up.”

So she can't afford a Greyhound Bus Ticket for previous or future competitions, but she can afford to feed another mouth?! Seriously, what the fuck are these breeders problems with financial management and prioritizing?! A 20 year old hairdresser with fucked up priorities supporting two kids? Anything is possible, but I wouldn't bet on that one!

I hope she doesn't make it to the final rounds. And if she does, I'm making it my personal responsibility to vote her off each week until she's gone. People like this don't deserve fame, fortune, or recognition.

Wow. I mean, yeah, if I spent a fortune to get to the auditions and shit and waited in line, I guess I'd still audition too--not like having a kid takes 5 minutes, I'm sure she had plenty of time, but still. That's freaking creepy. And there's no need for people to make a big deal out of it.

call me a cynic, but i have a feeling she stayed just to get a chance, she could have sung like barry white on speed, but since she had a child in the audition.. they have to give her ahonourable mention at least..

Whoo-boy, that's just fuct. At least she knows who the baby daddy is.

2 kids at 20 years old. Nice.

I am guessing her main thought was "If this baby pops out while I'm singing, I'm totally getting on Idol." or maybe "The pain really helped me hit those high notes"

And if she doesn't pass the auditions, she at least gets to be on TV. That's the reason why most of those fucktards who know they can't sing even audition in the first place.
