A woman carrying a full-term baby around in her stomach thought it would be okay to stand in line for 16 hours waiting to audition for American Idol. Something tells me she didn’t alert her doctor.

Can you guess what happened? If you said that she started having contractions during the middle of her first audition, you read context clues well.

“I knew right away what it was. I was singing, and the judge stopped and asked if I was OK, and I said, ‘I just want to finish my song.’ ”

It was hip-hop** trio 702’s Get It Together, which aptly enough includes the lyrics, “I don’t really wanna stay/I don’t really wanna go.”

As an ambulance pulled up midfield and panicky onlookers urged her to head for the hospital, “I said, ‘Well, I haven’t gotten my golden ticket yet,’ ” which would signal she made it to the next round.

Enduring intense contractions, she finished singing, got the familiar sheet of paper and only then climbed in.

This story sounds a little fuzzy, and that’s probably because this incident probably happened during one of those preliminary auditions producers don’t like to call attention because they happen before the contestants get to see Simon, Paula, and Randy. Still, something tells me the footage of this incident will be shown on a loop in the months leading to the American Idol premiere. To top it all off, the mom named her newborn boy Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan, a name she deemed “more than appropriate.”

_{**When are journalists going to learn the difference between hip hop and R&B? Seriously, do they think that this girl was rapping out her Idol audition? Actually, that’s not so out of the realm of possibility when it comes to the show, but you know what i mean.}
