New Delhi, July 27, 2009: Alexis Cohen Season 8 Contestant of American Idol is dead. The budding comedian and singer Alexis Cohen had uploaded a video to Funny or Die the day before her death.Her death is creating outrage across the US. The untimely death of the young and aspiring singer has created furor in America and the rest of the world.
People are feeling sympathetic to the girl who failed to find favour from American Idol judges.
She was killed in a hit and run case Saturday in New Jersey and police were on lookout for the person who killed an innocent soul.
In the meantime police arrested the person who is responsible for crushing her under his car’s wheels.
On the other hand people are saying that Cohen’s rendition of Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love” in American Idol was not horrible.
Someone wrote “I would even say she was good. Not great mind you, but better than some I’ve seen make it through in the past. I agree with Simon’s assessment that American Idol is not the right fit for her, and Randy’s that she would be good in a 60’s or 70’s cover band”.
Prior to the audition, she explains her “look” and likens herself to a pirate, saying “I like things that shine,” and continuing with “I’m a lady.”
Well she got the shine part right, but her expletive-filled tirade and very unladylike gestures after receiving a no from the judges, belied the lady part.d on July 27, 2009 in Crime. A CNN report says, “A 23-year-old man was arrested Sunday in the death of a former “American Idol” contestant, who was struck by a car in New Jersey, authorities said. Alexis Cohen’s body was found on a street in the town of Seaside Heights early Saturday, said Michael Mohel, Ocean County deputy prosecutor. An autopsy indicated that she had suffered head trauma and multiple injuries, including to her abdomen and chest”.
