'American Idol' Auditions: 13 of Your Favorites

Baylie Brown, ''Stronger'' (Season 6)
I would have included Baylie Brown from [American Idol] season 6. As Simon said at the audition, she was ''Commercial with a capital C.'' Unfortunately, she found herself in the wrong group during Hollywood week, completely forgot her lyrics, then crashed and burned. But I don't think we've seen the last of her. —Mark M.
