Baby Born During Dallas ‘American Idol’ Audition

Twenty year old hairstylist Antoria Gillon delivered her second baby boy, Jamil LaBarron Idol McCowan, while striving for a golden ticket at the Dallas, Texas ‘American Idol’ audition.
“I didn’t want to turn around after being there all those hours in the heat with people pushing. So my friend helped me walk through the line. I wasn’t going to leave without singing.”
“I gave it my all through the contractions. They were back to back and getting harder and harder but I was more than willing to have my baby right there. I wasn’t leaving without my golden ticket to the next round.”
Even when the ambulance arrived, Antoria refused to leave. Judges told her she had a golden ticket to the next round and that’s when Antoria allowed the ambulance to take her to the hospital.
