I don't think all of this audition from Carrie Underwood made it to the final TV edit during her American Idol appearance.  Watch as she shares with Simon what she had surgically removed, and, the hidden talent he asks her to perform at the end that has nothing to do with singing!  It is fascinating to watch.

  Knowing now the skyrocket career she would go on to have, it's always interesting to see how it began.
