Brett "Ace" Young (24, L.A.) is the spitting image of one Scott Petersen. He was raised in Boulder, and music is his life, and he is a good-looking kid. He sings some boring Westlife song and is immensely breathy and annoying and he has one million teeth. He's much better looking when he's not singing. Singing, he's annoying. Randy believes that he is a "really, really good singer," and "one of the best in the auditions so far." Randy makes reference to the difficulty of keeping a controlled connection between "chest voice" and "falsetto." Now, either Randy literally has no idea what he is talking about, or we didn't see that happen in the audition. I'm willing to concede that the latter is the case. I like Randy, and I generally agree with much of what he says, and it's rare that he speaks this specifically, but I don't think he's trying to impress us or anything. Simon tells Ace that it is more about his personality than his voice, and I agree, and Paula says "as a woman," something something something, it's pointless and is not related to her as a woman so much as it is to her as a horndog. Simon gives him a yes, but with a "very very very small 'y.'" Ace gets through, everybody claps, his arms are a foot around.
