There is just no question this guy needs to go through, but Harry questions if he has the right presentation. Hector says he is going to blow the judges mind and he proceeds to do a pretty good job of doing just that with “Too Close” by Alex Clare. He tells J-Lo if the singing thing doesn’t work out, he’s available as a stylist. He’s a master cosmetologist and talks about how there are some people in the audition room who could use some help with their hair and makeup. I missed the answer but really who cares.Īuditions continue next with Hector Montenegro, who compliments J-Lo for her insanely fabulous skin. We take a stopover to the Country Hall of Fame Museum and some really silly quiz about how many t-shirts of Keith Urban’s they have on display. All the judges give him a yes, although J-Lo says she was kind of on the fence. Harry thinks his style is very now and he really liked it. The judges joke with Cody for sounding like he’s at a dating service when he introduces himself.Ĭody sings “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and he has what one can only describe as a really ‘pretty’ voice with a very pure falsetto. His dad is a jingle writer, for like McDonalds and Nintendo, and he’s been a singer pretty much his whole life. Next up is 24-year-old touring musician Cody Fry. Harry is kind of harsh on him because he thinks Alex is not unique enough, but J-Lo and Keith override him and hand out the Golden Ticket. Alex says he had never played a live gig before last year, but now he’s played like 200 live shows. She says she thinks it is like he has gone through something and has found himself more. You just know he’s going to go through if he has a halfway decent voice and… he does.Īlex auditioned last year (with really long hair) and J-Lo remembers him. The impact he has made in racing, on all of us, is second to none.Once more back in Nashville for another audition with handsome guy Alex Shier. "Lester was a hero of mine and a good friend. "He has been part of our lives forever really," Dettori said. Three-time champion Frankie Dettori paid tribute to his "hero", saying the news had come as "a shock". Piggott pioneered a riding style where he perched high above the saddle A 'hero' and 'legend' - Dettori and Carson pay tribute Only 12 days after coming out retirement for a second time in 1990, a 54-year-old Piggott guided Royal Academy to victory in one of the world's richest races, the $1m Breeders' Cup Mile. He also rode Nijinsky, the last horse to win the British Triple Crown - the 2000 Guineas, Derby and St Leger - in 1970. Piggott's other Derby winners included Crepello, Sir Ivor and The Minstrel. Piggott on Dettori, Frankel and fairytales.The boy wonder who became the Housewives' Choice.Nicknamed the Long Fellow, he was tall for a Flat jockey at nearly 5ft 8in and weighed as little as 8st 5lb. With time off for good behaviour, he served a year and a day in prison. He was jailed for three years in 1987 after being found guilty of tax fraud of more than £3m. Piggott, who was partially deaf, won the Derby at Epsom for the first time in 1954 aboard Never Say Die. His first winner came aged 12 at Haydock in 1948, and his last at the same track in 1994. Piggott was admitted to hospital in Switzerland, where he lived, last week. "Sadly we can confirm that Lester died peacefully in Switzerland this morning," said his son-in-law and Derby-winning trainer William Haggas. He also had 116 Royal Ascot victories and was named champion jockey 11 times between 19.
