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.

We had a second opportunity to see Laurence Soares on American Idol's season 5 Boston auditions singing C+C Music Factory's Gonna Make You Sweat and also during Michael Sandecki's pre-audition footage. Larry is the guy who told Michael to turn it down a tad, to no avail.

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!!!"

Contestant #12709
Kenneth's song was Believe by Cher. Not only did he sing Believe, but he did a Cher impersonation.
As soon as named his song and started singing, Simon dropped his head, Paula started giggling, and Randy started chuckling.
After singing, Kenneth mentioned that he could do Judy Garland as well. Simon, as with any men singing in a woman's voice, suggested the female impersonation profession, to which Kenneth said in disgust, "Absolutely not." Apparently, Kenneth doesn't mind singing like Cher in front of millions of people, but he refuses to cross-dress. Simon told him that he had two choices: "Sound like a female, look like a man or sound like a female and dress like a female."
Kenneth argued that Cher didn't have a female voice. "Well, Simon, if we're going based on what people do and what people say, then why aren't you on the backside of a pair of jeans?" Paula, hiding behind her hands, gave a subtle thumbs-up, and Randy clapped and said "Woah! Very good!"
The judges voted and Simon happily declared, "Cher, you are not going to Hollywood."

Seacrest refers to Michael as "Boston's most annoying man." Michael had also gone out of his way to try and look like the pre-American Idol Clay Aiken.
For his audition, Michael horribly belts out "In the Still of the Night." Simon noted that, obviously, Michael was going for the Clay Aiken look but didn't sound like him, and told him that "You got the bad side of the bargain here."
After getting two No's from the judges, Michael said, "Actually, I really can sing, it's just I'm nervous as hell, and I gotta pee." Simon set him a challenge to go pee, come back, and sing again. Set to the Chariots of Fire music, we get to see slow-motion footage of Michael running to the bathroom, flushing the urinal, drying his hands, and running back into the audition room. Simon cut him off before he could say anything and instructed him to just start singing. Six words later, Simon told him that it made him worse.
Poor Laurence Soares is stuck next to the obnoxious freak in line, and suggests that he turn it down just a little tad. Michael replies, "I don't have a down button. It just goes even more hyper." Laurence tells the camera, "If I have to stand next to him the whole time, I'm gonna go insane."

Laurence sang C+C Music Factory's Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now), including some pseudo-beatboxing as well. As intended (I assume), Laurence had Paula and Randy cracking up.
Later in the episode, we see a poor pre-audition Laurence stuck in line with Clay Aiken-lookalike Michael Sandecki.
