Lea Marie Golde - Phoenix

The bubbly 16-year-old (who wore a pink cowboy hat to her audition) proclaimed that she was Kara DioGuardi's "biggest fan," but her version of Cascada's "Every Time We Touch" didn't leave the Idol judge flattered. "That was my fan?" DioGuardi cracked. "What does that say about me?!"

Katrina Darrell - Phoenix

She clashed with DioGuardi, who said her version of Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love" lacked "swing." Nevertheless, after a brief on-air spat with the judge, Darrell, 20, was sent through. Said DioGuardi, "It was probably a good call to wear the bikini at the end of the day."

Ngyuen -- and his giant hair! -- failed to impress the judges with Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel." Said DioGuardi, "I've never seen anything like that -- in a not-so-good way."

"I'm definitely going to say no," voted Randy Jackson after Caraway sang David Bowie's "Cactus" and performed an interpretive dance.

After the 22-year-old baritone sang Barry White's "My First, My Last," Cowell said he sounded like "something out of a horror movie."

Mia Conley - Kansas City

She screeched her way through Minnie Riperton's "Loving You." "You guys are wrong, and God's going to make you pay for it!" Conley, 27, said after getting rejected.

Andrew Lang - Kansas City

Even a personal cheering squad couldn't help Kansas City contestant Lang, 19, when he sang "My Girl" by the Temptations. He earned an "A+ for effort" from Kara, but ultimately he -- and his cheerleaders, in tears -- left the audition room without a golden ticket to Hollywood.

James Michael Avance - Kansas City

Cowell told Avance, 20, that he was "singing Ryan Seacrest" after he performed a nasally version of Ronan Keating's ballad "When You Say Nothing at All."
