An American Idol Audition Can Put a Woman in Labor!

A woman waiting for 16 hours in line to become part of reality TV stardom that is American Idol came to a halt when she went into labor. Antoria Gillon, 20, of Dallas, wasn't expected to give birth until today, but that wasn't the case. She felt alright waiting outside the Texas Stadium on Monday, not expecting to go into labor.

"I felt something over my body when I was walking," she said in a telephone interview from her hospital bed Wednesday after giving birth to a healthy boy her second Tuesday morning.

"I knew right away what it was. I was singing, and the judge stopped and asked if I was OK, and I said, 'I just want to finish my song.' "

It was hip-hop trio 702's Get It Together, which aptly enough includes the lyrics, "I don't really wanna stay/I don't really wanna go."

"I said, 'Well, I haven't gotten my golden ticket yet,' " which would signal she made it to the next round.

Enduring intense contractions, she finished singing, got the familiar sheet of paper and only then climbed in.

Were producers swayed by her perseverance?

Gillon believes she made it to the second round with her vocal skills but admits, "They go by character and motivation, and I think I showed more than enough motivation."

The baby's name: Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan. "I just felt like it was more than appropriate," she says.

Ha-ha! I'm glad her and the baby are doing great. That is so funny. Antoria is awesome!!!
