Lakia Hill is nasally and off key. The judges say no, and she actually thanked them. This leads to a montage of several polite Alabamians saying thank you after being rejected, much to Randy and Simon's astonishment.
Finally we have Brandy Patterson, who sings "Like a Virgin" off key. Simon tells her no, but then Brandy actually blames the floor (the little makeshift stage) for her sounding bad! What. The. Hell. Simon spits out, "You are barking mad," as Brandy proceeds to stand on the carpet and belts out an even worse-sounding "Proud Mary." Brandy actually thinks that she was better on the carpet, but of course the judges still say no. Brandy starts ranting and raving, which drives Simon into fits of giggles at this point. He's actually enjoying their back-and-forth banter and keeps teasing Brandy. "Call me," he says. Outside, Brandy complains to Ryan that things would have been different if Paula were there and proceeds to call Randy a fat-ass. Randy sticks his head out the door and says, "What?!?" and tries to get on her good side. Simon steps out and walks past her, once again saying, "Call me." Ah, that Simon Cowell. He's a riot.
End of day two. Ryan says that overall, 20 people make it to Hollywood. Tomorrow night's episode takes place right in my backyard, as the American Idol auditions take place at the legendary Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California!

Ah, I just received word from one of the editors. It was just an editing mistake. You will all know what FUPA means shortly ;)
