'Idol' group audition turns into daddy drama

THE "American Idol" group auditions proved to be a drama of two dads.

When yesterday's episode had ended, Michael Lynche, known as "Big Mike," was the proud father of a newborn baby girl and had made it into the next round of the singing contest.

But Seth Rollins of Lakeland, Florida, who had hoped to make a better life for his autistic son and who performed with Lynche and two other contestants, was cut by the judges.

Lynche, of the Astoria neighborhood in New York City, missed out on being at his wife's side as she delivered their daughter and instead monitored the birth by phone.

He ended up among the 71 contestants moving on to the next round; 25 were cut, a number of them leaving in tears.
