I get really hung up on making mistakes and I get uptight and it kills my ability to emote. But I once saw Aretha Franklin on a national awards show get up and do R.E.S.P.E.C.T. and blow the lyrics and she just kept going. If the Queen of Soul can mess up a song which I'm sure she could sing in her sleep like that in front of an audience of millions and keep her poise and finish the performance with aplomb and gusto, I'll take a page out of her book.
That's another way singing is like sports: Miss a goal, throw a bad pass, shake it off and get back in there immediately. If you make a mistake and then allow yourself to focus on it, it will consume you.

Well, maybe it wasn't you, perhaps you just need to do something different in your audition... It could also be the way you make facial expressions perhaps?
Think about secondary things you might have done wrong :)
