So if you want to get attention – and you happen to be like Katrina Darrell and have a kick ass bod – then perhaps you should just show up to stuff wearing a bikini.

Darrell, a 20-year-old model from Chino Hills, California, was among the contestants on last night's episode of American Idol, and let's just say her audition was more than about her singing.

She told cameras she wore her bathing suit to the audition to get attention.

"I came dressed in my bathing suit to American idol because, first of all, I figured it would set me apart from the crowd, and secondly because I heard it was a crazy audition process and I figured, well, at least I’ll have a tan," she said.

Darrell sang Mariah Carey's Vision of Love, and although it wasn't bad, it wasn't good either – which judge Kara DioGuardi immediately pointed out. However, resident pervs Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson both put her through to Hollywood.

Kara sang Vision of Love back to Darrell, to show her how off tempo she was. She told Darrell she didn't have the chops to sing the song, and Darrell snapped back that Kara's version wasn't any better. Oh snap! Check out her audition and fight with Kara.

As Darrell took earned her ticket to Hollywood, Kara seethed, “Next time come naked.”
