Thursday was a big day in Philly.  It was the Eagles home opener, of course, but for thousands of aspiring stars it was their chance to show off their stuff.

American Idol auditions were held at Franklin Park, and one lucky contestant is headed to the next round thanks to country music.

XTU fan Sarah Diamond  performed Redneck Woman by Gretchen Wilson and Tin Man by Miranda Lambert. She talked to Frank and Andie this morning.  Click below to listen to their conversation.

Hopefully we'll get to hear her do those songs - and more - this season on American Idol!
