"Idol" hits the beach

San Diego bound. Paula looks drunk!

Tetiana sings "Someone to Watch Over Me." Simon thought she was really obnoxious (I agree with him!) but everyone said yes to Hollywood anyway.
Perrie is a single dad with a wonderful little boy. His mom was killed. I like him. He sings Boyz II Men. He is going to Hollywood.
Michael is a white soul singer. Votefortheworst.com said he's already a pro, though. He gets to Hollywood.
Montage of bad people.
Valerie thinks she sounds like Mariah Carey. She does screech like Mariah, and might resemble Mariah at her most unbalanced, like that day she was handing out ice cream on "TRL." Simon tries to imitate her. She realizes she is "going to be on the rejects, this is so not cool!"
Montage includes a mime with a guy wearing a sombrero.
Simon notes that Monique looks like three different people dressed her. She is singing Whitney Houston. Simon says "I think this is going to be pointless" and she keeps singing. She goes on and on as the judges throw insults at her. Then she cries, and says "I know I can sing."
Her friend Christopher screams "The Greatest Love of All" and he is also a bad listener. He is also terrible. Simon asks "does that sound good to you, Christopher?" and he keeps singing. They seem to have a strategy of never stop singing. Grizz and Dotcom walk him out finally.
Simon lets Samantha's sister sits next to him for the audition. Samantha is not bad, singing Aretha Franklin. The sisters give Simon some love as Samantha goes to Hollywood.
Blake was "the idiot as the Statue of Liberty," in Simon's words. He has auditioned 10 times before. Blake's mom says this may be more her dream than his. He gets turned down, again.
Another bad montage. lots of crying.
Alberto is a g-d hippie. They show him spinning a Barbie and smelling flowers. And he belly dances. Again, He. Belly. Dances. He wrote his own song called "Live." He is nowhere near as fun as Renaldo and "Brothers Forever." Alberto says Simon kept interrupting his song. Later he hugs his ugly family. His family member says "he is talented in many different ways -- artistic, floral (?) ..."
Back from commercial with another montage.
David is also mentioned in votefortheworst as someone who has been behind the scenes at "Idol" for some time. Randy sings backup for him. he goes to Hollywood. Paula wants to squish him.
Last is Carly, who is also on votefortheworst. Simon says "that wasn't as good as two years ago!" and she glares at him. Still, she goes to Hollywood. Her and her freakishly tattooed husband are very cute as they cry.
Thirty others go to Hollywood.

Tomorrow is South Carolina.
