American Idol 2023 LIVE — Nutsa Buzaladze’s ‘messy’ performance leaves fans torn as Noah Cyrus mentors Top 26

Weirdest contestants: Nick Zitzmann

Nick Zitzmann's season 6 dreams were popped after he garbled Unchained Melody.

The Utah native sang out of tune and tempo, giving him a ghost of a chance of advancing.

"What the bloody hell was that?" A shocked Simon asked.

Paula goaded the producer, sarcastically asking: "So, that would be a yes or a no, Simon?"

Simon shot back with another declaration that Nick was "one of the worst I've ever heard."

Weirdest contestants: Steven Thoen

Steven Thoen, who also goes by the nickname Red, admitted he rarely watched Idol.

"I'm not a big fan of the show," he openly confessed during his season 6 audition.

Steven sang Bohemian Rhapsody for the judges in a pitch so high, nearby dogs were in danger.

Simon called Steven's audition one of the weirdest he'd ever heard.

"It was like a one-year-old singing that song," the musical judge said.

All three judges voted no, eliminating Steven from the competition.

Weirdest contestants: Sarah Goldberg

Sarah Goldberg sang Dreaming of You by Selena for her season 6 tryout.

The 20-year-old strode into her audition decked out in a tiny red cowboy hat, which she immediately ditched.

Sarah was ditched almost as quickly after her off-key performance.

"I'm not a singer," she admitted to no one's surprise.

The judges then asked if she only auditioned for fame.

"Even though I can't sing, I could still be the next American Idol," she answered, before revealing her grand plan. "Because I've never sung before, and you can teach me."

"I could be the only American Idol who has never sang before. I'm unique!"

The judges weren't swayed, and Sarah was sent home.

Weirdest contestants: Mary Roach

Mary Roach was a contestant on season 4 of American Idol, singing I Feel the Earth Move by Carole King.

She failed to move the judges with her off-key voice and wild arm flailings.

"Honestly one of the worst I’ve ever heard in my life," Simon said to Mary’s surprise.

Simon then dared to question: "What made you audition for this competition?"

Mary replied: "All my friends told me that I was an awesome singer."

The audition took a further turn when she casually mentioned that she has a ton of different voices, to which Randy asked if they were all in her head.

The "voices" then went off on the judges, bashing them and their decisions.

“Not only can you not sing a note in tune, but you also have one of the weirdest voices I’ve ever heard in my life,” Simon concluded.
