I had always theorised that any contestant auditioning that got an intro piece showing them at home or going about their usual routine must have gotten through, since the piece presumably would have been shot after the audition -- the producers don't pre-enlist, do they? And an unsuccessful contestant wouldn't cooperate, would they? So how on earth did they get Alexis the vet student (Jodie Foster lookalike, according to Dave) to agree to do her piece? Unless she really was an attention seeker.

Must say "Princess" Leia was one of the funniest (and most disturbing!) things I've seen. I thought Ross's mother in Friends had ruined the vision of Carrie Fisher in that outfit, but this really takes the biscuit...

And yes, the other Princess Leia was also a bit of a nutcase.

Otherwise, some really nice-sounding voices there, including Kristy Lee (another Carrie Underwood?), Junot, and the 28-yr old stay-at-home-mom (Elizabeth?) who sang in a band at night.
