Katelyn Epperly-19 years old; her parents are divorced; sang Duffy's "Syrup and Honey"; good voice; needs more energy; she could sing a #1 hit song; she's off to Hollywood!!!
Amy Lang-26 years old; has fantasies about Ryan Seacrest--creepy!!; sang Aretha Franklin's "Dr. Feelgood"; her boobs were moving back and forth; the judges say no to Amy's Idol Journey
Charity Vance-16 years old from Little Rock, Arkansas; faithful 'American Idol' fan; sang "Summertime"; personal style; made it her own; Charity's going to Hollywood!!
Angela Martin-third time on 'Idol'; the first time--the death of her father forced her out of the competition, the second time--her traffic court date made her miss her Hollywood audition; sang "Just Fine" by Mary J. Blige; great song choice; talented; didn't give up; she took the judges' advice to heart and improved; Angela's back in Hollywood--the third time's a charm!!!

Curly Newburn-sang "Woman's World"-Maxwell; too many high notes; flat; terrible; no record deal for Curly!!!
