Audition
Shequida Hall's audition was never televised. It is unknown whether or not he was buzzed, but at least three judges voted "Yes," sending the group to the Vegas Round.

Vegas Round
Shequida Hall was one of the Music Acts in the Vegas Round. He was sorted into the "Opera Singers" category. His performance in Episode 308 consisted of singing an opera song while alternating between a very high voice and a very low voice. Shequida's audition was strong enough for the judges to include him in the Top 60 shortlist and to later send him to the Top 40 Quarterfinals in Episode 309.
