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.

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.

Ryan gets off to an odd start by answering Paula's "What's your name?" question with "I'm Ryan, what's yours?" During the interview section of the audition, Paula told him, "You just cursed. You you're not allowed to do that, it's a family show," but Ryan replied with "Oh, well I'm not a family guy."
Ryan sang Silverstein's Smashed into Pieces which includes some death-metal-like screeching along with some so-so alternative crooning in the middle. After Ryan left, Randy just had to try the screeching for himself. People posting over at alternative/independent entertainment site HYAMP.ORG seemed quite annoyed that the "poser" claimed to be "too hardcore" for the judges. Let's hope they don't get a hold of Ryan's MySpace profile. The band Silverstein posted on their site that Ryan is invited out to any one of their shows at any time. Oh, and if you want to hear the original version of the song (screeching included), listen to the sound clip from Disc 2 of the 2005 Warped Tour Compilation.

Erica sang briefly for the judges. It was fine, but certainly not American Idol quality. Clearly, she only made it to the televised auditions because her sister is Bobbie May. Bobbie May is a psychic who was made popular on a previous season's audition episode.
Post-audition, the psychic claimed that she did have predictions about the outcome of American Idol 5, but she preferred to keep them to herself.
