Simon Cowell told her he wouldn't have changed a thing, but the other judges wanted a bigger reaction. "These people love you," pleaded Ellen DeGeneres. "Take it all in and respond." Paige Miles was a long way from getting any love from the judges, who were equally against the smiley 24-year-old preschool teacher from Houston.

Randy Jackson said her rendition of Mariah Carey's "Against All Odds" was "honestly terrible" while all DeGeneres could compliment was Miles' ability to stay standing on the stage in a pair of high heels. "You didn't fall down," said DeGeneres, "and that's a good thing."

Also slipping even further out of favor with the judging panel was Tim Urban, the shaggy-haired 20-year-old college student from Duncanville, Texas. He punctuated his performance of Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by sliding across the stage on his knees.
