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.

Pre-audition, R.J. said, "My friends call me R.J. Actually, everyone calls me R.J. . . . Everyone's my friend."
Ryan's narration discussed R.J. being a ladies' man, and we got to see several shots of him flirting with various women.
Allison Schoening asked him if he liked baseball. After R.J. told her that he didn't like baseball because it was boring, he informed her that she just made it awkward. Yikes. Apparently that red flag didn't scare Allison away, as she happily hugged him when he left with a golden ticket.

Kevin bore a strong resemblance to Randy Jackson.
Before Kevin sang, Simon told him, "We're looking for one big difference [from Randy]: Do you have talent?"
Despite Kevin's poor vocal abilities, Randy made a point to tell him repeatedly that he was very handsome.

Danielle kept it simple by singing an old classic, Amazing Grace.
With her rendition, however, it might have been better titled Amazingly Tone-Deaf.

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.

Zombies attacked American Idol 5's Austin auditions.
We see a group of zombies wandering around outside near the lines, but why were they there? To tell us that "Television rots your braaaaaaains!"
Where did they come from? Nick Muntean, a University of Texas at Austin graduate student organized the group via craigslist in order to attract attention to the fact that television melts your brains.
The American Idol staff apparently caught wind of the plan and were waiting for the zombies. The staff was right there to happily film them.
