Nobody likes to wait in line, unless that is the audition line for American Idol.  And for American Idol hopeful Lauren Rocha of Brighton, she doesn’t have to do that, either.

Lauren is the winner of the Fox 31 Denver’s Guaranteed No Wait In Audition Line Contest.  She beat out 29 other contestants  and was judged by  season 5 contestant Bobby Bennet and Haley Vaughn from season 9.

“Waiting in line definitely makes you a lot more nervous and it gives you that feeling like when your stomach tightens and the longer you wait gets so much worse.” Rocha said

The seventeen year old is a senior at Brighton High School and has been wanting a shot at American Idol since she was 5 years old.  And despite being understandably nervous, she’s ready to sing her heart out.  Break a leg Lauren Rocha!
