Structure of auditions

Auditions for the show were held in the seven cities shown above. As reported in The Los Angeles Daily News, the 2006 process was especially difficult: the 10,000 or so contestants waited in long lines, then were herded before two very young assistant producers and given roughly 15 seconds to perform one song. At that point the large majority of them were summarily rejected.^[4] Los Angeles Daily News is the second largest circulating daily newspaper of Los Angeles, California. ...

Survivors of the first phase were typically then seen by Idol's executive producers, and only if surviving that cut (because they were especially good and fit what Idol was looking for, or especially bad in some novel way) were seen by Cowell, Abdul, and Jackson. The contestants then had one chance to impress the judges by singing a song of their choice a cappella. Then the judges each gave them either a "yes" or a "no" to continue to the next round. If they received a majority of yeses, the contestant would receive a "golden ticket" that qualified them for the "Hollywood Rounds". If rejected, the auditioner returned home. A cappella music is vocal music or singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. ...

Notable eliminated audition contestants

• Kenneth Briggs, an unsuccessful auditioner with spooky eyes who was likened by Simon Cowell to a primitive species of primate: "You look like one of those creatures in the jungle with those massive eyes, what are they called? Bush baby". The remark drew criticism on The View from Rosie O'Donnell, who commented: "To make fun of someone's physical appearance, is this what America thinks is entertainment?"
• Jonathan Jayne, auditioned in Seattle. He became good friends with Kenneth Briggs while waiting to audition. He sang "God Bless America", which Kenneth thought was worthy enough to get a ticket to Hollywood, but the judges kindly declined. It quickly came to the judges attention that Jonathan might be mentally challenged, which prompted Paula to tell him to always believe in himself. Even Simon was incredibly respectful towards him. It turned out that at some point, Jonathan competed in the Special Olympics, and recently that organization released a statement thanking the judges for being gracious toward Jonathan.
• Sarah Goldberg, who auditioned in New York and sang a terrible rendition of Selena's "Dreaming of You". Considered by fans as the "crazy girl." Saying she wanted to be the first American Idol who has never sung before (and that was very evident in her audition), she screamed to Paula, Randy, and guest judge Carole (Simon was not there), "I'm unique! Woo-hoo!" She gave a speech about the judges being rude after they rejected her, to the hoots and cheers of the waiting contestants behind her. That clip was later shown and commentated on The Daily Show with the host saying, "Somebody forgot to take her pills!"
• Martik "Eccentric" Manoukian, auditioned in Los Angeles. Claiming to be "the most exciting entertainer on planet Earth," Manoukian attended the Los Angeles audition acting like a panther, complete with a "panther crawl" and growl. After being rejected by the panel, Manoukian stated, "I might be blowing up as big as Michael Jackson, maybe bigger."
• Ian Benardo, a self-proclaimed "superstar" from New York who gave a rendition of "Gloria" by Laura Branigan. When Cowell gave his opinion, Benardo asked to see Cowell's working visa, and followed this up with a barrage of one liner insults on the judges, particularly aimed at Simon. Next, Ian directed his attention to a more personal subject, his twin brother separated at birth, Colin James Bindner, who has a solar system on his neck and a galaxy on his chest. This continued until he was forced out of the auditioning room by security guards. Benardo also tried out for So You Think You Can Dance just as unsuccessfully and with just as many censored insults directed to that show's judges. Some assume that Benardo only went on the show due to a grudge against British judges (one of the judges on So You Think You Can Dance was also British), which was enforced by a monologue after his audition about how he is infuriated that British people like Cowell were criticizing Americans.
• Sherman Pore, who at age 64 was more than double the age limit of 28 when he auditioned in Los Angeles (and never lied about his age like several other contestants have), still had his audition with a rendition of "You Belong To Me." The audition was made possible by a petition, which in turn was inspired by the motivation from his "lady love," who had died of cancer two days before the audition. While he was unable to receive a golden ticket due to his age, he was greatly admired by the judges as well as viewers. Cowell even asked to shake his hand after the audition.
• Margaret Fowler, who auditioned in Birmingham, Alabama. She did not make it but she is remembered for her yellow clothes (which symbolized according to herself, a match of the golden ticket to the Hollywood round that she did not receive). Simon Cowell said her Big Bird-inspired ensemble looked like an "Easter Bunny nightmare experiment," but it did not faze Margaret one bit. "I loved every minute of it because when he said I was a big, fat Easter bunny – who does not love a big, fat Easter bunny?" she tells People magazine.^[5] Margaret Fowler’s age disqualifies her (she was 50, 22 years over the limit of 28).
• Ashanti Johnson, who had made it to Hollywood two times before, but had never made it to a semi-final round. She tearfully begged the judges to put her through after rejection, going on a long, melodramatic tirade about how much she's changed. The judges were unconvinced, and Ashanti finally left the audition room.
• Victoria Watson, auditioned in Birmingham. She had never cut her hair since birth, so it nearly reached the floor. Victoria sang Josh Groban's “You Raise Me Up”. The judges claimed her vocal style was too old-fashioned and therefore was rejected. She took her rejection hard, sobbing not long after she left the audition room.
• Nichole Gatzman, auditioned in Birmingham and brought "Team Nichole" along. Her rendition of Bonnie Raitt's "Something to Talk About" was seen by the judges as "too nasal" and "not ready". The rejection was one of the most controversial ever on the show, as fans and radio stations constantly suggested she should have made it to Hollywood.^[6] She appeared on Larry King Live the week of the air date.^[7]

Disqualified

• Akron Watson auditioned in San Antonio. He was given the opportunity to sing 2 songs because the judges liked his voice but Cowell was concerned about a lack of personality. The judges eventually sent him to Hollywood; however, it was reported the night after his audition aired that Watson was disinvited, possibly due to a 2003 marijuana possession conviction.^[8]

The first round consisted of each contestant singing one song a capella of their own choosing in front of the judges and all the other contestants of the same gender. Contestants were then told whether they were moving on or going home, in groups of six. This extended over the first two days, first females, then males.

The second round took place on the second and third day, and consisted of groups of three or four contestants choosing, rehearsing, and then performing one of nine pre-selected songs with piano accompaniment. Groups were reviewed and contestants were then judged individually as to whether they were moving on or going home.

The third round took place on the fourth day, and consisted of individual contestants performing a song from a pre-selected list, accompanied by a piano and a couple of backup singers. Contestants were split up into 3 rooms, and 2 of the rooms were selected to be the Top 40, which was later cut down into the Top 24.

Notable eliminations in Hollywood

First Round

• Ashlyn Carr, auditioned in San Antonio. After displaying a good voice but showing what the judges described as "odd facial expressions", Carr was rejected. After some second thoughts from Cowell, she was brought back in and was sent to Hollywood after a second audition. It was reported the night after her audition that she had been arrested in August 2006 for putting sugar in the gas tank of her ex-boyfriend's car,^[9] but this did not affect her appearance in the Hollywood rounds where she was eliminated.
• Jory Steinberg, auditioned in New York. After being lauded with praise from the judges in her initial audition, she was eliminated in the first group of girls who performed on stage, whom Simon called, in no less terms, terrible. Jory had previously been a part of label in Canada but due to shifting rosters, she was dropped before an album was made.
• Porcelana Patino, auditioned in New York. She treated her preparation as if she was trying out for The Contender, so she got up at five every morning to workout and lost 15-20 pounds. She impressed the judges and proceeded to the Hollywood round. She was then eliminated in the first cuts.
• Sarah Burgess, auditioned in New York with her parents under the impression she was staying at a friend's house in Ohio. She tearfully explained that her parents did not approve of her becoming a singer. She gave a different tone to her rendition of "Call Me" by Blondie which the judges admired and they unanimously agreed to send her to the Hollywood round. After the audition, Seacrest helped Burgess call her father about what actually transpired over the past few days. In Hollywood, she was eliminated in the first cuts.
• Rachel Zevita, auditioned in New York. Being a trained opera singer, she impressed the judges by performing three completely different songs: a rock tune-"Eternal Life" by Jeff Buckley, a ballad-"Get Here" by Oleta Adams, and "Cara, cara e dolce," an Italian art song by Alessandro Scarlatti. She passed the New York audition, but was not specifically seen or heard on the Hollywood round episode, meaning she was eliminated and probably fairly early.
• Jenry Bejarano, auditioned in New York. He impressed the judges with a fine voice and a good look, but despite being a slight fan favorite, was not seen at any point in the Hollywood round, meaning he may been eliminated fairly early like Rachel Zevita.

Second Round

• Baylie Brown, a 16 year old from Krum, Texas. Brown was paired up with Antonella Barba and Amanda Coluccio in the group round, Baylie forgot a majority of her lyrics when performing in front of the judges, which resulted in her getting rejected. After her elimination, she tearfully confronted her teammates, one of whom (Amanda) had flirted with boys the previous night, but they shrugged her off.
• Ebony Jointer, the twenty three year old from Hacienda Heights, California was one of three Frisco’s car hops featured on the American Idol Best of the Rest episode.
• Matt Sato, who was featured many times in the first Hollywood episode. In most of the clips he was in, he was crying and calling his mother to tell her that he made it through (or, when eliminated, the exact opposite).
• Perla Meneses, who auditioned in Minneapolis and sang Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" in front of the judges and were impressed. In the first round Simon warned her about her dancing and singing balance, and that they were unsure about her vocal performance. She did not bond well with the group she was in, which included Gina Glocksen, and was the only one eliminated from her group.
• Robyn Troup, auditioned in San Antonio,^[10] but was not seen until Hollywood week. She was the winner of the "My Grammy Moment" contest and consequently won a recording contract with Justin Timberlake.^[11] Two days after, her elimination was shown in the Hollywood group rounds.
• Sean Michel, auditioned in Memphis. The self-confessed Osama Bin Laden and Fidel Castro look-alike gave an upbeat version of the Johnny Cash song "God's Gonna Cut You Down". Despite his looks, the judges gave him a golden ticket to Hollywood. He was eliminated in the Hollywood group rounds with little footage shown of it.

Third Round

Jordin Sparks' audition, singing "Because You Loved Me."

• Brian Miller, who had auditioned in an earlier season. When he first auditioned, Simon could not remember him, but the other judges put him through. In the first Hollywood round, he was seen being praised for his singing by all three judges, but wasn't focused on much for the rest of the episode.
• Denise Jackson, auditioned in Minneapolis. Her mom was a drug addict and she was a self-confessed "crack baby".
• Jamie Lynn Ward, auditioned in Birmingham. Described by Ryan Seacrest as a "blue-eyed bombshell", she sang "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera. She was well known for her story about her father who shot himself and became paralyzed. She was eliminated this season in the cut for the top 40.
• Shyamali Malakar, who auditioned in Seattle with her brother Sanjaya. When she was put through to Hollywood, the judges thought she had better stage presence than her brother but that he had better vocals. This proved true, as she was eliminated this season in the cut for the top 40 while her brother made it through, eventually to the top 24.
