Rudy Cárdenas (59575), auditioned in Seattle and is from North Hollywood, CA. Originally from Venezuela, the 28-year-old is part of an Los Angeles-based band called M-Pact. Despite being the last auditioner of the day, he was able to serenade the judges with his take on the Journey rock classic "Open Arms". Although Simon was very unimpressed with his singing, Rudy made it to Hollywood with the support of the other two judges. In Hollywood, he sang "How Deep Is Your Love" together with Chris Sligh, Blake Lewis, and Tom Lowe in group round. The judges were impressed by their vocals.

Jason "Sundance" Head (53540), auditioned in Memphis and lives in Porter, Texas. He is the son of Roy Head, who had a top five single with "Treat Her Right" in 1965, which was held out of #1 by the Beatles, which Jason says made his dad dislike The Beatles. He sang the classic hit "Stormy Monday." Unlike his first audition, his vocals did not fare well in the Hollywood rounds, especially the group round.

Paul Kim (74501), auditioned in Los Angeles, and is from Saratoga, CA. Being Korean, his motivation for auditioning was to alter the stereotype Asian image that William Hung gave during the previous seasons. His performance received universal appraise from the judges as Randy mentioned that P.K. has one of the best male vocals he has heard this season. In contrast to their early praise, the judges mentioned when they put him through that Paul made it to the top 24 by "a split decision".
