Matthew "Wolfie" Paulsen
Contestant #32051
Wolfie described himself as "sound a little bit like Clay, but maybe a little bit different than Clay, but I think my voice range is around Clay Aiken's. I'm definitely going to Hollywood today." Matthew even chose to sing Aiken's The Measure of a Man.
The differences quickly became apparent when he started singing in a shakey, quivering voice. The similarities never made themselves apparent. The producers even played Matthew and Clay side-by-side as an easy comparison.
Matthew is called "Wolfie" because — why else? — he likes wolves so much.
