Hicks: Jim Carrey's daughter impresses on 'American Idol
Jim Carrey's daughter is strangely normal.
The daughter of the funnyman sang at "American Idol's" San Diego auditions, which aired Sunday night. "I'm a huge ham," she said. "I always like to be onstage"
Jane Carrey, 24, is a single mother and a "waitress, on and off." The audition took place on the most natural place in the world for someone to become famous by singing -- on an aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Midway.
"He's not the most extravagant celebrity, so it's been fairly normal. Fairly," said Carrey of her life with her father.
Judge Jennifer Lopez realized she'd met Jane when she and her father were on "In Living Color" in the early '90s.
"I used to work with Jim. Oh, my God! I remember you when you were little!" Lopez said. "Do you remember me? I was one of the fly girls."
No, no one remembers Jennifer Lopez. She's been so quiet and under the radar since then.
Carrey sang "Something to Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt. "I think you need to think more about performing," Lopez said about the audition. "You close your eyes a lot, which is great to get the feeling of it, but you still have to connect with your audience."
"Good melody. You've got to work on the volume," Steven Tyler told Carrey.
We'll get to see more of Carrey because -- surprise, surprise -- the judges decided to send her on to the next round in Hollywood.
"Tell pop we say what's up," said Randy Jackson as Carrey exited theroom. "Tell him to holler at the Dawg."
Can anyone who was once in Journey really get away with talking like that?
After the audition, Carrey of course called her dad on speakerphone.
"She's amazing," Jim said. "I can't wait for the world to understand what she has."
