From the moment we first heard Christine's voice on her pre-audition interview, it was clear that we would probably be in for a treat on this audition. One way to describe it to those who haven't heard is to imagine a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Mickey Mouse.
Christine started "singing" as soon as she entered the audition room . . . except she wasn't singing words. Instead, she started making sounds that were apparently supposed to sound like the "So, oh oh oh oh" portions from the middle of Mariah Carey's Obsessed. After a bit, she switched to a high-pitched, shrill sounds.
After that introduction, Christine started talking, prompting Randy to ask her if she did cartoon voice overs. She said she didn't know (?) and Jennifer suggested that she should do that.
Christine sang Lee Ann Womack's I Hope You Dance (though she said "I Hope You Can Dance"). Steven started "I'm going to say 'No'." and Christine responded confusingly with, "Awesome!" Her response was more clear when she went out and told her mom, "I did my best and I got one 'Yes' and two 'No's." Ryan looked more perplexed than we have ever seen him on the show and asked, "You did? A 'Yes' to what?" Christine said, "He said I had a good voice for American Idol." Ryan could only respond with, "OK . . . I missed that scene."

Nashville's episode 4 kicked off with Randy saying to Darius, "So you can sing high notes, right?" Darius broke into a loud, sustained, high-pitched sing/scream that sounded more like an alarm than a note. We then saw Ryan standing on the sidewalk outside, looking around for the sound, along with a building collapsing from the sound.
We watched Randy and Jennifer's reactions and Steven's response of, "Wow" but we never saw a vote. Nonetheless, you have to assume that Darius didn't make it through to Hollywood.

Chris wore matching grey, sparkly pants and jacket set to the auditions. Oh, and did I mention that he also had a giant toothbrush? The need for a giant white, grey, black, and red toothbrush became apparent when he sang his song:
Oooooooooh, you better
get out the brush!
Get out the brush!
Everybody!
Randy suggested that he stick to singing in the car, and only then if the windows were up.
Upon leaving the audition room, Chris was seen throwing his hands up in disbelief that he wasn't passed through.

Kody told Jennifer that he would describe his voice as "a little bluesy" and similar to Frank Sinatra. This was not quite evident when he struck out with his attempt at Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.
Kody started shadowboxing (or possibly forward-fist-pumping?) while he sang the "Rah rah, ah ah ah" portion of the song.
Steven asked where Frank was in his performance and Kody conceded that perhaps it was a poor comparison. He asked
Randy, "Can I give you a hug," to which Randy promptly replied, "You better!" After a brief hug, Kody asked Randy if he could have a sip of Randy's Coke, but Randy refused.

Joe had been featured in several promotions before tonight's episode aired, where we see him enthusiastically saying, "I'm gonna kick this thing straight to the moon!"
Joe is going to UT (University of Toledo) for Communications and wants to go into radio. Since Ryan Seacrest has his own radio show, he decided to help Joe along. Joe gave a few call-outs including repeated IDs for K100 (pronounced by Joe as "Kaaaaaaaaay One-Hundred!"). Ryan mentioned the fact that if he was successful with both endeavors that he could be playing his own song on the radio. In the audition room, Joe did another sounder for the judges and they were taken aback, rendered almost speechless.
Outside the audition room, Joe's mom told Ryan that she never sings because she was tone deaf.
Joe proved that he took after his mom when he sang Billy Joel's The Longest Time in a pitchy, key-shifting style that had Steven howling like a dog after the performance. The judges unanimously agreed that Joe should abandon the singing dream and continue on with talking on the radio, but he cut them off with a portion of Fools Rush In. The judges then gave their final "No" votes and sent Joe on his way.

Tiffany started out by demonstrating for America "the typical Jersey hairdo." (Step one is that "you need your teaser brush with you at all times.")
As a Puerto Rican dance instructor, she admires Jennifer Lopez because she "made the mark that you don't have to be a stick figure to be gorgeous." Tiffany got choked up when she got in front of Jennifer, so Jennifer came out front and gave her a nice, long hug.
Tiffany chose to show off her Puerto Rican accents by wearing two strategically placed silver stars on her shirt.
Tiffany sang an original song that she made just for American Idol:
Oh, baby you've got to
You've got to put me through
the next round
Oh, baby you need me
Oh, baby they need me
America needs
America needs me
for higher ratings on TV
After that song, Steven had to ask, "What's with the jujubes on your ooh-ooh-bees?"
Tiffany sang a second song but closed her jacket again because the song was "more emotional". She sang Celine Dion's I'm Your Lady and received three Yes votes based on that performance, putting her through to Hollywood. Tiffany got down on her hands and knees and excitedly kicked her shoes on the ground, prompting Randy to clarify, "Yes to the singing!"

Achille is from the Ivory Coast and has the thick accent to prove it. After introducing herself, she began singing Madonna's Dress You Up. After some pained expressions from the judges, Steven stopped her, complimented her on her body language, and let her know that she didn't have the notes or melodies.
Achille let the judges know that she was working on her thick accent with her vocal coach but Jennifer assured her that it was really just about her singing and not about the accent.
