four rounds of preliminary auditions, she was called back at the age
of 16 for the televised audition in front of the judges. Jauregui
performed "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys for her audition. Judge
Antonio Reid described Jauregui's voice as "husky, round, mature" and
her audition as "perfect". She advanced to the next round after
getting approval from all four of the judges. During the second round
of bootcamp, she was put up against country group Sister C with the
song "These Arms of Mine". After being eliminated as a solo artist in

finished third in the competition.
