Brooke Helvie in Hollywood
Brooke chose to sing The Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody in the second round of Hollywood, but she completely botched the first high note of the song. Simon immediately stopped her on that note.
Randy voted "No" and Simon voted "Yes", leaving it up to Paula. Brooke asked if she could sing the part she messed up, and Paula noted that she had chosen that part for herself in the first place. Brooke started singing the song anyway and never made it back to the high note.
Simon gave a countdown for Paula to make a decision, but Brooke thought he was counting her down to start singing again, thus adding to the confusion.
Paula finally told Brooke that she was off the show. Brooke claimed that she wasn't given a fair chance.
