Ashley Sullivan's 'American Idol' Audition - Video

It's not uncommon to watch contestants put forth their showbiz dreams in their auditions, but it seems that the state of New Jersey has opened up a can of crazy as far as 'American Idol' auditions go.

Ashley Sullivan aspires to be the first "showtunes pop star." (Has anyone told her this has been done already, as in 'Glee' or Liza Minnelli?)

But Sullivan's got the drive, and frankly, disturbing desperation, to prove it. After the audition and a whole lot of begging, she got the golden ticket. Check out her audition on 'Idol' after the jump.

New judge Steven Tyler was so impressed by Sullivan's "unbridled enthusiasm" that he promised, "I'm gonna personally work that into something good."
