A woman in a pink shirt sang M-I-C-K-E-Y in a loud, horrible voice. She even held up a pretend microphone to her mouth. Good times.

Paula wore some interesting clothes. The reason is that everyone calls her a "fashion genius."
In addition to the eye-catching clothes, she also had some prominent braces with pink and green rubber bands that Simon just had to talk about. He said things like "You have so much metal in your mouth," "that's like a bridge," and "How did she get through the metal detector? It must have gone crazy!"
Paula is a huge Paula Abdul fan. Apparently, she likes to draw life-size pictures of Paula Abdul.

Tessie Mae attempted to sing Ain't No Mountain High Enough for the judges, but the sound was horrendous, despite her claim that she sounds exactly like Avril Lavigne. Tessie Mae's hair was of interest, with two long, bleach-blonde braids falling down on either side of her face.
Why does Tessie Mae think she should advance to the next round? In her words: "I think I should be a pop star because I could be like the next big famous person." Grammatically, this wasn't the best choice of words. I'm not sure if she was using "big" to describe the famousness or the person. Tessie's outfit included a black shirt and too-tight, bright pink pants that showed off her figure. How can you describe her figure like in those pants? You can't — but Simon's could: "You know when you buy a sack and you try to stuff it full of potatoes and you just keep pushing and pushing . . . It's like 'No — I can get another potato in there, hang on.'"

Donnell sang in an extremely high-pitched voice and confused the judges. It was even higher than a Mickey Mouse impersonation.
In fact, it was so high, the lyrics were indecipherable–but there's a reason for that. The song was not understandable because it was Jigglypuff's Lullaby. Jigglypuff, of course, is one of the most famous Pokémon characters. The lullaby contains only the word "Jigglypuff" and is fabled to put enemies to sleep.

Michelle sang Lean on Me but forgot the words two lines into the song. She froze at that point and, on cue, her contestant number sign fell off onto the floor, as if embarrassed by the whole thing.

Arthur performed some sort of weird, indescribable dancing. The worst part is that the awful dancing seemed choreographed, which would infer that it was thought out in advance and passed as acceptable.
Arthur's bright red scarf and matching shoes didn't help much, either.

Chanequa sang Fire and Desire, which includes the lyrics "It was pain before pleasure."
Simon interrupted to say, "Let's take out the pleasure."

Anisa sang so poorly that Simon told her "even the out-of-tune notes were out-of-tune."

Cierra appeared to have what the judges normally look for physically in an American Idol. She looked the part and talked the part.
Looks can be deceiving. Simon even admitted that he expected her to sing really well, until she killed Silent Night. Randy told her, "You've got twelve keys going on."
After Cierra asked if she could try a different song, Simon told her to sing Silent Night without the "Night." He also commented that it sounded more like the soundtrack for The Nightmare Before Christmas.

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.

We didn't get a chance to see Jeffrey's audition, but we did see his pre-audition interview.
Jeffrey was (presumably) asked the same question that the others were asked: Why are you the next American Idol? After a moment of reflection, he says, "I think I'm the next American Idol because . . . I don't know . . . [significant pause] . . . Can I think about it?" Jeffrey gives a few more moments to think about it, with no response, before they cut away for some more auditions.
Later in the episode, they show poor Jeffrey again, still contemplating his answer. I'm sure he wasn't sitting there for that long, but I wonder how many hours he stood in line waiting to audition for American Idol — without really even knowing why he was there.
