But all it does is tell me that there is something that I am meant to do better at. Then, this last week, my rehearsals went absolutely fantastic, and it just didn’t happen the same way on the stage. So I was having a lot of difficulty there, just getting anything out. The first week, I was very sick, I was just so sick with allergies, I was filling up with congestion and everything else, when I did my performance of “The Show Must Go On.” I was having some issues before my performance of “And I Am Telling You,” I had just had an allergic reaction right beforehand, and my throat had swollen shut. I had things going on with my health both weeks. But quite honestly, I do know that I did not have my best performances these past couple weeks. Well the fact of the matter is … whether or not I have the best voice on the show is one thing. So your elimination caused some controversy - fans of yours said that you were eliminated because of the fact that you’re LGBTQ and a drag performer, which led former contestant Clay Aiken to say in an op-ed that it was because you didn’t have the best voice on the show.

Unfortunately, Vox was eliminated from the competition on Sunday night, unable to make it into the competition’s top seven. Needless to say, Vox succeeded - the queen made it through the auditions, past Hollywood Week, and all the way into the top 10 (the first drag queen to do so in the show’s history). So for his 13th audition, Sanders decided to make himself stand out and showed up to the auditions as Ada Vox, his drag queen alter ego, to try and impress the judges. He made it through the audition process and to the show’s Hollywood Week on season 12, only to be eliminated shortly after. ![]() The performer from San Antonio, Texas, has auditioned 13 times for American Idol.
