Brittany Kerr, former NBA cheerleader for the Charlotte Bobcats, made a memorable impression during her audition for American Idol, performing a cover of Joss Stone’s “Spoiled.” The judges—Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson—offered mixed feedback, with Tyler giving her an enthusiastic “yes” before she even sang, while Jackson expressed confidence in her potential. However, Lopez ultimately voted “no,” questioning whether Brittany could last in the competition.

Although her journey on Idol was short-lived, Brittany gained something significant from the experience: she met her now-husband, country star Jason Aldean.
