Sarah sang the fast-talking lyrics from Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape, however she didn't keep the rhythm of the song and she didn't know all the words, either. Instead of sounding like Gwen Stefani, she sounded more like an excited four year old rambling about something you can't decipher.
Randy asked her, "You ever hear of a guy named William Hung?" Sarah called that the biggest insult ever.

If Blake Boshnack looks familiar, that's because we saw him very briefly in season 5, dressed as the Statue of Liberty.
In fact, Blake had auditioned ten times before San Diego!
Blake sang Ben E. King's Stand By Me — You know how they say the eleventh time's the charm? Neither did the judges. Blake didn't pass through to Hollywood, but I have a feeling that we haven't seen the last of Blake Boshnack.

Samantha and her sister Michelle both have a Simon obsession, which deeply disturbed Ryan.
As Samantha entered the audition room, Michelle threw a paper airplane into the room and onto the stage. Randy asked what it was, and Samantha explained that it was a note for Simon.
Simon read the note aloud: "Dear Simon, please let me in. Please, please, please. You're on my list of who I want to meet, along with who I want to meet along with Oprah and Obama."
Upon reading the note, Simon invited Michelle to join the panel, and she quickly accepted and shared Simon's chair with him.
Samantha sang Aretha Franklin's Until You Come Back to Me in front of this modified four judge panel. She got a unanimous vote to pass her through to Hollywood. In celebration, Samantha and her sister gave Simon a group hug.

As soon as Monique stepped onto the stage, Simon noted that it looked like three separate people dressed her that day: "It's like, 'I'll do the lingerie,' 'I'll do the top,' and 'I'll do the boots,'" prompting Randy to exclaim, "Lingerie?!?" Monique admitted to having put the outfit together herself.
Whitney Houston's "I Believe in Miracles" (which is actually titled I Believe In You & Me). Simon assured her that not one word of the chorus would happen.
Monique said, "OK," but then broke into Mariah Carey's Fantasy.
Simon replied with, "I'm not getting through to you, am I?"
Monique muttered that there had to be something, so then she broke into yet another song, but Simon persisted.
This time, instead of breaking into another song, Monique broke into tears, insisting that she had just chosen the wrong song. She promised she'd be back to try again.
Given her audition, it looks like she picked the wrong three songs.

Joseph sang Justin Guarini's Get Here in a serious tone, so if you weren't looking at your television screen, you'd think it was just another mediocre American Idol audition. What you wouldn't know, however, is that Joseph was dressed in a sombrero and poncho, with Juanita performing as a mime alongside him. Juanita mimed an airplane while he sang that line, and even did some freaky "my brains are falling out of my head" motion during "you can reach me with your mind."
During the performance, Simon rubbed his eyes. Randy shook his head and Simon said, "Sorry." Joseph and Juanita made their way out with smiles on their faces.
Joseph and Juanita were also pictured in episode 5 (Omaha) as one of the squares in the "You Forgot the Lyrics" title screen, though they weren't shown as having forgotten their lyrics at all.

Paul Marturano sang a love song dedicated to Paula that was all about stalking her. Paul's hilarious song "Stalker" included several humorous lines, and Paula was simultaneously amused and creeped out. Eventually, Simon lost patience, and security showed Paul the exit doors.
Paul took the time to sit with us for an interview and discussed various aspects of his interview process. Paul discussed his other musical endeavors and also what happened to him after security escorted him out of the audition room.
Novac from Idle Idols: For the record: What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favourite colour?
Paul Marturano: AH My name is Sir Paula Abdul's Stalker Marturano My quest is to perform my music and comedy for the world while saving homeless animals from shleters before they can be euthanized and my favorite color is Green …..no wait Blue
Novac: Are you a fan of American Idol? How did you decide to audition?
Paul: I am a fan of the show. I have always wanted to be on the show but have never auditioned because by the time I got up the nerve I was past the age limit. So I decided that I would just go have some fun and see what happened.
Novac: Did they give you a hard time because you were overage, or did they pass you through because they knew you'd make for such a fun audition?

Milo Turk was the American Idol contestant who proudly and emphatically sang his song No Sex Allowed for the judges. Milo completely stunned Ryan with his views and further confused Randy during his audition. Despite being overage, Randy and Paula did end up having fun and singing along with the catchy chorus.
I had the opportunity to chat with Milo for a while about his audition. Milo even shares the two additional verses you didn't hear on the show!
Novac from Idle Idols: For the record: What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favourite colour?
Milo Turk: My name is Milo Turk. My quest is to get everyone not to take sex for granted, and to consider it sacred. My favorite color is green, like the environment.
Novac: You sang No Sex Allowed for the judges. Is there a way for us to hear the second and third verses of the song that you mentioned during your audition?
Milo: I could type the lyrics to the second and third verses, if you like.
Novac: Sure. I think the readers would like to read them.
Milo: Good. Here's the second verse:
