Grace did not sing well when she sang Whitney Houston's One Moment in Time, but what made this audition unique is her outfit.
Initially, we saw an odd-looking cowboy hat on her head, but when the camera pulled back, we could see the full outfit.
What did Grace wear? She chose an outfit that made it look like she was much shorter and riding a bull: Her legs made up the legs of a bull, and fake inflatable protuberances made up the bull's head (angry expression included) and tiny cowboy legs and boots.

Sholandric said that he tried out because "it's time to bring the romance and the love back into the music, and I feel like I have that to bring."
Sholandric sang Peabo Bryson's If Ever You're in My Arms Again. After a lackluster performance, Simon quickly raised his hand and gave a one word judgement: "Hideous." Randy told him that he had hit about 12 keys in the chorus and just shook his head.

Eccentric is the self-proclaimed "most exciting entertainer on the planet Earth" and claimed to have "fire equaling three men."
How can you sum up Eccentric's goals in life? Just read for yourself: "I'm an athlete. I will get into acting as well. I will get into modeling, and I will get into being an author as well as a singer, songwriter, rapper, choreographer, producer, and composer."
Eccentric claimed to be a panther and his performance showed it. As Eccentric walked into the room, he spun his notebook in front of him onto the stage. He then flung his glasses to his left and his jacket to his right. He removed his shirt and then started pacing back and forth like a panther, occasionally growling or hissing at the judges. This went on for quite some time. Finally, after some prompting from Simon, Eccentric finally sang one of his own songs, Sweetest Princess.
Needless to say, the judges quickly decided that he was not right for the competition.

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."
