Following it up was Lauren Mascitti who sang an original song titled "If I Can Lose You". The song impressed Lional and unsurprisingly she headed to Hollywood.
A security guard named Courtney Timmonds then made history as she was brought by host Ryan Seacrest to the judges to audition because she missed the deadline.

Next up was DeWayne Crocker Jr. who sang "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin. The judges loved his range and would expect to see more of him in Hollywood.
Also being sent to Hollywood was Dillon James. He amazed everyone with his performance of a soulful rendition of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love". Katy admitted that she was "intrigued" by Dylan's "unusual voice," and other judges also seemed to share the same sentiment. Unsurprisingly Dillon headed to Hollywood.
