Crazy Dave Hoover, a.k.a. Mr. Dubious of American Idol 5 fame stopped by Idle Idols to answer a few questions. Crazy Dave is the contestant who jumped around and screamed like a spaz and actually made it through to Hollywood. In Hollywood, he was well received by his peers and received plenty of applause after his performance, but the judges decided not to keep him on.
Novac from Idle Idols: For the record: What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favourite colour?
Crazy Dave Hoover: Dave Hoover. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite color. My quests are among many.
Novac: Are you an American Idol fan?
Dave: Well, I watched it all last year. I'm a big fan of reality TV for some reason. I hadn't had a TV for a few years before that. I think TV is so distracting when you are trying to be productive. The first few seasons, I caught a few minutes here and there at friend's houses. I thought it was the cheesiest thing I had ever seen.

On the first post-audition, Hollywood episode of American Idol 5, the contestants performed for the judges, including Crazy Dave Hoover. If you'll remember, Crazy Dave showed up in the first episode of American Idol 5.
Crazy Dave passed through to Hollywood because he promised Randy that he would talk to the animals for him and also because he was nothing but a huge ball of energy, jumping around and screaming on the stage.
Crazy Dave bounded out onto the stage and shouted, "People of the Universe! . . . [pointing to the judges] Honorable Overlords! . . . You're now in the presence of Mr. Dubious, Dubba Dub Dub, Bubba Wubba Yubba Baby Wooooo-Yeah!!!"

Ashley is a fit model. Fit models work for manufacturers and fashion houses as a real person with real contours who must be of "average" size and maintain certain measurements.
Ashley sang for a bit, but failed to impress Paula. Paula stopped her by saying "Thank you very much," and her reply was "Oh."
It was then mentioned that she could sing with her mouth closed. She asked Paula if she should sing that way, and Paula told her that it wasn't going that well thus far in the audition. Nonetheless, she went ahead and sang The Star-Spangled Banner in this manner.
Somehow, Randy gave her a "Yes" vote. Paula refrained from voting and asked Simon what he thought. Simon gave a "Yes," so Ashley is Hollywood-bound.
I'm guessing that Paula wanted to say "No," based on the footage shown.
This just goes to show you that models have it easier than the rest of us, and that American Idol cares about the viewership numbers. Remember — even though they say they want something different, they just want attractive women.

Jason's job is as an embalmer, so his song choice seemed obvious. He sang Josh Grobin's You Raise Me Up.
Jason sang well enough to make it through to Hollywood.

One word: Spaz.
Crazy Dave seemed to believe that if he had enough energy and overwhelming enthusiasm that this would cancel out the fact that he couldn't sing. He was wrong . . . or was he?
As with several previous poor performers, Randy and Simon split the vote, forcing Paula to be the one who let the poor performer down. This time, however, she had apparently had enough. Paula said, "For my own reasons . . . YES."
Crazy Dave made it through. Why is he referred to as "Crazy Dave?" It might be that he performed barefoot and claims that animals started talking to him when he was 16.
