Alexis Cohen death: American Idol season 8 contestant, dead
Former American Idol contestant Alexis Cohen is dead. Alexis who? Her name does not immediately ring a bell even for an Idol fan like myself. But once the YouTube video of her audition starts, the memories come flooding in, mostly unfavorable scenes of her meltdown and displays of her weird persona.
She kept trying to get in to American Idol. From the videos I have posted below, she auditioned for seasons 7 and 8, both unsuccessfully. It’s not that she didn’t have the talent for the reality based competition show, she showed glimpses of promise
especially in her season 7 audition. But the weirdness of her personality overpowered everything else she put on display. As such, she was not taken seriously. Who would? In season 7, she came made up like a glittering clown. And when she didn’t make it, her meltdown was priceless! The following year, though she looked normal enough, her Buddhist chant before her audition turned almost everyone off, not to mention the memory of her antics the previous year. She could have landed in the next round were it not for her weirdness.
Alexis Cohen’s body was found on the street by passers by who called 911. Initial reports say she may have been a victim of a hit and run. Rest in peace, Alexis.
Update: A man has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the death of Alexis Cohen. 23-year-old Daniel Bark was booked on charges of death by reckless driving as well as leaving the scene of an accident.
