Ellen's Season 14 American Idol audition with "I Wanna Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart." "The Beverly Hillbillies" at the end was not a set up haha. I am just thankful I remembered how to play the song! I initially auditioned for American Idol while they were on their Bus Tour in 2014 at the Branson Landing. I then advanced to Kansas City, Missouri where this clip was filmed while I auditioned for the celebrity judges: Keith Urban, Harry Connick Jr., and Jennifer Lopez. I made it through Hollywood Week and advanced to the top 48, and was eventually cut in Judgment Week, right before making it to the live shows. My American Idol journey was an amazing experience and I am so thankful I had this opportunity. It was also incredible for both me and the rest of the Petersen family as it has given us lots of exposure and helped bring awareness to our family band.

It was also incredible for both me and the rest of the Petersen family as it has given us lots of exposure and helped bring awareness to our family band. When they informed me I wasn't advancing I was filled with peace and hope because I knew God had something different and better for me. Better may not mean more money or fame, but it does mean a life spent growing closer to Him and glorifying Him with the gifts He has given me. Thank you to everyone for believing in me and encouraging me! It has meant more to me than you will ever know. ~Ellen ►American Idol photo album: Arriving for auditions   / qptw1hvptj   Waiting to go in   / rlulfeppxx   Audition   / xj5ibfvps6   The family   / rsihxnppve   TV interviews   / xzahkook1e   Filming the promos   / x1n8j8ok9v   Promo shot   / xzqg0ivpaf   Hollywood Week   / znmsjrvpzn   Final Judgment   / ztjc2oppyy   Facebook teaser https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=101... ----------------------- ►Fun fact: The 1921 Oldsmobile Truck that was the original Beverly Hillbillies car is now in the Ralf Foster Museum, located at the College of the Ozarks campus where Katie, Ellen, and Matt studied.
