Alexis Cohen’s Mother Says Her Daughter Was Going Country On American Idol 9 Before Her Death
Whoa, talk about interesting. Despite numerous reports that Alexis Cohen was met at the door of the American Idol 9 Boston auditions and denied entry, Cohen’s mother Mindy Dallow told a local newspaper the opposite.
In fact, Dallow’s story and the one we previously heard were so different that I’ll just touch briefly on some of the highlights:
- Cohen was given a call-back at the Boston auditions;
- Cohen sang country, particularly a Rascal Flatts song at the Boston audition and was “excited” about her chances for the 9th season of Idol;
- Cohen was also planning a career in stand-up, which sort of explains the two routines she posted on her MySpace page the day before her death;
And finally, she was at the Jersey shore visiting Six Flags amusement park to “escape the heat.”
The main question is: what was Cohen doing at 4 a.m.? Was Six Flags still open at that time of the morning? Cohen’s mother says Alexis was in the process of getting something “to eat” when she was struck by the vehicle.
And why were those video stand-up routines so weird? It all makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
All I know, is that there are lots of questions left unanswered by the death of Cohen, and hopefully there will be some closure soon.
