American Idol Baby Miracle?

Picture from PEOPLE. Antoria Gillon and her newborn idol baby.

It was an American Idol first when Dallas contestant Antoria Gillon performed her audition – in labor.

While waiting with 13,500 other hopefuls at Texas Stadium on Monday, 9-months-pregnant Gillon realized she was going to have her baby.

Not one to let her contractions block her chance at fame, however, she sang right through them. And the tryout turned out to be a success: Gillon will be back for the next round on the hit FOX show, the network announced.

Gillon was taken to a local hospital, where she gave birth to a healthy son she named Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan.

Baby Idol arrived early Tuesday morning weighing 6 lbs. 7oz.

As for next season’s TV Idol, its seventh edition is set to be born in January 2008.

What was a 9-month old pregnant woman doing among 13,500 people? Wasn’t she suppose to be at home, resting and waiting for her water to break? It’s quite a sad story, for someone was so desperate for whatever that American Idol would bring her, she’s willing to risk the life of her unborn child. She’s lucky the her child was safely delivered.

What good is an Idol she can’t even have the decency to give the child a safe delivery?
