When Schyler Dixon showed up to audition for American Idol in Savannah this year, she claimed she was going it alone and wouldn’t be leaning on her brother Colton as she had the year before.

He insisted that he would be ‘taking a back seat’ and was just there to support his sibling during her tryout for the hit Fox show, though Schyler did confess:

‘I’m a little nervous without him.’

Last season, Colton made it all the way to Hollywood and almost to the top 13. When he came back for the 2012 season and the judges heard he wasn’t planning to audition, they weren’t taking it at all. They insisted that his sibling go and bring him into the room and asked him to sing.

Schyler went first and sang ‘Break Even’ by The Script and we have to admit, we loved the tone of her voice and she sounds so much older than 16!

Colton sang ‘Permanent’ by David Crook. While his voice was amazing, we felt his song choice lacked a little something and didn’t show off his skill to the best of his ability.

However the judges didn’t agree and both Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson felt that the pair had both ‘grown’ vocally, with Steve Tyler commenting that baby sister had ‘come up a couple of notches.’

Both singers won a golden ticket to Hollywood. Watch the video below and tell us if you think they deserved it.
