Texas woman needs your vote to appear on "American Idol"

HOLLYWOOD, California (KTRK) -- Opportunity rarely knocks twice, but Britney Holmes' second chance rests in your hands.

The vocal coach from Aubrey, just north of Dallas, was cut from a lineup of hopefuls for the new season of "American Idol" on ABC.

But on Sunday, you will have a chance to send Holmes on with a ticket to Hollywood during the American Music Awards.

In anticipation of Idol's debut, America will have a chance to vote on auditions broadcast live during the show, including Holmes' own audition video.

Voters will choose the winner, who will get that coveted golden ticket to Hollywood--and the chance to become the next American Idol.
