Allison Schoening
Contestant #53697
Allison's singing was so poor that Simon likened her to a cat with its tail slammed in a door. Allison said that she knew she had sung poorly, and wanted to give them a second chance to hear her, so Simon agreed to have her come back in after thirty minutes.
As Allison was leaving, Simon told her to imagine Randy in his swimming trunks when she came back in. Allison replied, "I was already imagining you [Simon], but that's probably why I sucked so bad." Paula gave out a cheer, and Randy gave her a high five for that comment.
Allison returned after a while and sang just about as bad as before. Allison admitted that she knew she still didn't perform that well, but she argued with the judges about whether she sang better than the first time or not.
Allison was also featured during Ronnie "R.J." Norman's audition segment as well.
Allison "almost died" on her plane trip to Austin because the seal on one of the plane doors failed. Allison said (and I quote): "I recommend going through that at least once in your life." Yeah, I'll be sure to schedule a faulty plane ride in the near future. Thanks for reminding me.
