Anne Marie Boskovich: First American Idol Contender
No offense, Leneshe Young, Joanna Pacitti and other season eight contestants we've seen so far.
But Anne Marie Boskovich looks to be the first American Idol hopeful we can confidently say has a shot to win it all this year.
The beauty auditioned in Jacksonville last night and immediately impressed judges with a quick rendition of a Kara DioGuardi song.
Simon Cowell and company were impressed, asking something of the contender we had never seen before: leave, and return later with a more professional appearance. Boskovich followed this request, came back at the end of the hour with make-up on and truly blew away viewers.
Watch her audition now:

Anne Marie is my parents' neighbor and I have known her family for a very long time. I remember hearing her sing up the street and her gorgeous voice would drift down the street to my house. It was like angels were singing. Anne Marie comes from a great family and is so talented. Go AMB!

I'm a friend of ann marie, and the funniest part of her whole audition is the fact of how it was edited... she really did meet a make up artist (one of the auditioner's girlfriends) but that looks like the most fake part... She's such a genuine girl, absolutely stunning, and I can't wait for them to start showing her as the star she is!
YAY ANN MARIE!!

how's her story even heartwarming to begin with?!

Of course Idol sets up things! It's a TV show!
Anyways, Anne is AMAZING!

I thought she was great, but it felt strange to me that she was able to find a makeup artist like that. I'm becoming suspicious of American Idol's editing. It seems too convenient that many of the last contestants of the day seem to have heartwarming stories.
