Renaldo Lapuz showed up for his audition/Simon butt-kissing session dressed up like a demented pimp…or some kind of metallic bird or something…we’re not sure what look Renaldo was going for. He performed his original Simon Cowell inspired track “We’re Brother Forever.” Yeah….okay.

Self-proclaimed vocal impressionist Kady Malloy earned the moniker of “Season’s Best So Far” with her flawless performance of “Unchained Melody,” Simon’s favorite song, by the way. Kady also turned in impressive impersonations of Britney Spears (Not Saying Much) and Carrie Underwood.
