Brandy sang Like a Virgin, but she certainly didn't sing it as well as Madonna. During the chorus, she took off her sweater and caressed her body.
After Simon gave some bad comments about the song, Brandy blamed the floor for her poor audition. Simon let her audition on the carpet instead. There, she sang Proud Mary, but Simon claimed that it made her even worse. He told Brandy that she was "barking mad."
Brandy continued to gripe about Simon and Randy making a mistake by letting her slip by. Simon wanted her to leave and told her, "Enough with this rubbish."
Brandy replied to this with, "Ruffish, muffish."

Lakia sang Deborah Cox's How Did You Get Here. Her rendition was painfully off-pitch and nasal. Particularly painful was the screaming of "standing here."
Post-audition, the judges had an interesting conversation with Lakia:
Simon: Seriously, Lakia, that was a complete and utter mess.
Lakia: People say I can sing.
Randy: Really?
Lakia: Yes.
Simon: So when you hear yourself, you're hearing what? A good singer?
Lakia: Uh-huh.
Simon: Right. We're not. You have probably one of the worst voices we've had in Birmingham.
Lakia: Thank you.
That's southern charm for you, I guess.

Pre-audition, Chris tells us, "Some people tell me that I look like Jack Osborne. Some people say that I look like Jack Black. But when I look in the mirror every morning, it's not those people that I see, it's . . . Christina Aguilera that I see in the mirror. I think that's who my body looks most like."
Randy started out by asking Chris why he was there, and Chris told him, "I really wanna make David Hasselhoff cry," referencing the moment we saw a teary-eyed David Hasselhoff during the American Idol 5 finale.
Chris sang Seal's Kiss from a Rose, garnering a standing ovation from Paula. The judges liked Chris enough to pass him onto Hollywood.
Post-audition, Chris revealed his strategy: "I just looked right at Paula and she crumbled in my chubby little hands."

Margaret wore a bright yellow, furry/fringed top that looked more like a Big Bird costume than anything else. In fact, her scene started out with the Sesame Street theme song playing.
Despite the fact that Margaret looked much older, she stuck to her story that she was 26 years old.
Margaret said that she was working on a clothing line for plus-size girls, and she paraded around in her outfit, flashing the captive American Idol contestants.
After the audition, Simon commented, "I have no idea what this show is anymore. I'm serious. I've got you standing in front of me looking like some Easter Bunny, nightmare experiment."
