Wow, didn’t you totally expect Oliver Highman, 27, of Cornelius, North Carolina to make it through to Hollywood? After all, his wife went into labor while he was waiting to audition and he had to take her to the hospital instead of meeting Randy, Paula and Simon.

Oliver Highman sings “Get Here” in this “American Idol 2008″ South Carolina audition video and unfortunately he does’t get through, but he’s got a new baby and a great story to show for the experience. In the end, Oliver Highman and his wife bring in new baby Emma Grace. Awww.
