Ryan introduces the next audition - Tara Matthews.  She's a humongous, goth-dressed, red hair-dyed woman.  She believes that she has ESP.  A real winner, this one.  It'd be pretty hilarious if she was good.  She sings from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. She's bad, really bad, and now I feel bad.  She's a loser - no need to make fun of her like this.  Or, maybe there is.  "One day I'll fly away," to which Simon retorts, "Let's hope so."

It's a montage of idiots who are bad at singing.  The last one, Richard Kagel, looks like a cracked out David Lee Roth.

Chris Kirkum is a normal looking dude who brought his friend Greg with him.  Greg is a big, fat dude dressed in a pink bunny suit.  Chris also brought a picture of Handsome Simon.  Whatever.  He starts singing, but Simon can't deal with the bunny in the background.  Chris sings, and he's not so bad, but not great.  He gets the no.  Greg the Bunny gives Simon a bear hug on the way out.

Everyone is happy in the SLC.  We get a montage of people graciously accepting the brutal criticism of the judges.  Ryan give the holding room a pep talk, telling people not to accept defeat.  Our next audition is Frankie Jordan, who is a stay at home mom.  She is confident.  She is 23 years old.  She sings some Amy Winehouse, and she sounds just like Amy.  Which is good, but it's freaky because she looks kind of like an attractive Amy Winehouse.  She has a great voice.  The judges like her, and she's going through.

Megan Corkrey is a tatted up mother.  Another young mother, this one from Utah.  She recently decided to get a divorce.  That's no fun.  She's definitely cute, too.  Everyone is good-looking in Utah, apparently.  Cool personality.  Audition day is her birthday.  She's got a really cool, old-school jazz voice.  If you closed your eyes, you'd assume this was coming from a old jazz LP.  Maybe one of my favorite auditions so far.  Simon agrees.  She could be a whole lot of something in Hollywood.
