you’re a good-looking guy you really are
that’s the kind of song though that you
don’t have to push on
well no pun intended these are the good
the bad and all the viral sensations
that influence pop culture from the
American singing competition series
created by Simon Cowell what does that
feel like right now to hear those words
from Simon welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 hilarious and best american
idol moments i see yo doctors did some
good stuff into bad stuff here here we
go for this list we’re celebrating the
final season of American Idol by
highlighting the most talked about
moments that fueled the show’s
groundbreaking run on prime-time
television every moment excuse me that
the music will cut me off if I can I
make it to number 10 weirdness is
originality – the Mary Roach audition
your name is Mary Roach however if I do
make it to Hollywood I’m gonna change my
last name to Guilbeau because it has
more star quality dressed for success or
perhaps like a Christmas stick Mary
Roach / Guilbeau arrived for her
American Idol audition with a little
nervous energy and a whole lot of star
power I’m gonna sing I feel the earth
move by Carole King off you done I
filled earth move fun I feel the sky
falling down I feel my heart start
tremble down okay maybe she’s the
real-life Mary Katherine Gallagher and
to be honest the whole fiasco might have
been staged but even so the physical
performance left the judges speechless
comes down to the common ahead and now
that my emotions serve I can turn hi
Simon Cowell offered up the brutal truth
one of the boys I’ve ever heard in my
life the worst yeah honestly are you
just saying that to get on my nerves are
you totally serious
which awakened the voices of Mary Roach
and by the end she treated us all to a
poignant rent
Oh crazy I mean not only can you not
sing a note in tune you have one of the
the weirdest voices I’ve ever heard in
my life
well weirdnesses originality to number
nine the man in black nail polish Adam
Lambert Ring of Fire
the name Johnny Cash doesn’t usually
conjure up images of makeup and Middle
Eastern Flair but hey it was Adam
Lambert who was attempting to win
American Idol not the men in black
the ringer
with Randy Travis assigned to lend
advice during grand ole opry week he
ultimately received an education himself
as Lambert proceeded to deliver a most
original performance of the country
classic
though Kara Randy and Paula appreciated
the modern take it was Simon who asked
the most obvious question of all I think
what Randy was trying to say was what
the hell was that
number eight just press play the Renaldo
leepu’s audition I want to know what
you’re gonna sing right now my own
original composition gray brothers
forever
in season seven a Filipino American
named Renaldo lepue showed up for his
American Idol audition dressed like an
old-school pimp with Simon’s name on his
extravagantly feathered hat why is
Simon’s name on your hat for two reasons
mm-hmm everyone everywhere as long as
there is print media television radio
speaks the name of Salva singing his own
composition the Pooh’s initially stunned
the judges with his dominating voice
however the song was actually a chorus
that went on and on and on I am your
brother your best friend forever singing
the songs the music that you love
given the passion and kindness of the
contestant Simon couldn’t help but
applaud and lapooh later made a
triumphant return for the season finale
number seven the idle cure Candice
Glover love song
there are contestants who leave the
judges speechless for a variety of
reasons but in a transcendent season 12
performance Candice Glover shut down the
competition with a bluesy version of The
Cure’s love song
just moments in Mariah Carey was already
drifting away thanks to the poetic runs
and by the end the pop diva stood up and
sprinkled a bit of diva glitter towards
the standout star
you
with no critical feedback necessary
Randy Jackson led the parade let me just
say on behalf of all my judges up here
one of the greatest performances in the
history 12 years ago and Glover would
ultimately take the top prize
number six go down Moses the James Lewis
audition went as well as any just then
he described himself as a cross between
Paul Robeson and Pearl Jam’s Eddie
Vedder but his voice channeled the
subject of his song Moses well at least
if Moses was piss drunk on top of a
mountain and say fell so as the dapper
contestant tried to process the judges
shameful reaction his face transformed
from confusion to understanding much
like Moses after 40 years in the desert
would you like me sing something else
just when you thought it was over poor
James gave it one more shot
which cemented his place in American
Idol history alongside contestants like
Nicholas vits Minh and Lolita
and Keith bugler I made it through the
wind the lens somehow I made it through
I didn’t know how now sound was too I
found in number five the three divas
denied Fantasia Barrino Jennifer Hudson
and Latoya London please step over here
because tonight this is our bottom three
Fantasia
Jennifer Hudson and Latoya London
America in 2004 the American Idol
contestants were asked to perform the
songs of one Barry Manilow however it
didn’t go so well for the three divas
Fantasia Jennifer and Latoya at least
according to the final vote they have
the lowest number of votes and that
person is Jennifer Hudson all parties
involved were clearly shocked at the
bottom three announcement which opened
up a larger discussion about race on the
show and the voting process each of the
women would become stars in their own
right and Fantasia would actually win
the competition congratulations Fantasia
but much like Chris Daughtry shocking
exit Chris you are going home tonight
the journey ends this jaw-dropping
moment had the world talking you are my
American Idol
ladies and gentlemen give it up please
for Jennifer Hudson number four pants on
the ground the Larry Platt audition I
won’t say my song called pants on the
ground happens on the ground pants on
the ground in a world full of social
unrest along came a former civil rights
activist who Deven chily go on to fight
against a most devastating fashion trend
known as sagging pants on the ground
pants on the ground looking like a fool
with your pants on the ground with the
gold in your mouth Hector’s Iowa pan hit
the ground
utilizing American Idol as his platform
for change General Larry Platt served up
an original composition aimed at all
those misguided souls who walk around
with their ass crack hanging out you
know who you are with a little
old-school funk and plenty of emotion
the 62 year old general became a viral
sensation through his timely message
number three country crossover Carrie
Underwood wins Kara you’re not just the
girl to beat you’re the person to be I
will make prediction not only will you
win this show you will sell more records
than any other previous Idol winner
by 2005 American Idol was in its fourth
season and the world was about to change
upon the arrival of YouTube and iPhones
however before social media became a
thing rather important thing it was an
Oklahoma girl named Carrie Underwood who
played a pivotal role in a brand new
world of pop culture the winner of
American Idol 2005 is Carrie under from
her sensational audition to the final
announcement the country artists
captured the world’s attention and
proved to be one of the most successful
American idols and a modern legend of
the music industry
number two well hung the William Hung
audition you know I have no professional
training of singing no well they’re
surprised at the set entry back in 2004
American Idol was already well known for
showcasing the most brutal of auditions
and then came an unassuming civil
engineering student who thrusted all
over the stage like a young Elvis
Presley cheek bags
she plays Oh baby flesh she moves she
moves I go crazy cuz she lost like it
fluff but she stays like it be like
every girl in history okay maybe he
looked more like a puppet or perhaps
even a remote-controlled mannequin but
damn it William Hung gave it his all in
fact he even dropped out of college to
pursue a music career fueled by the
media attention and probably the legions
of groupies you told me oh all the same
you live taking away like a bomb yeah
baby when you have the stage presence of
mr. hung or fellow contestants Sanjaya
Malakar it’s only natural to want to
share it with the world and they sure
did
yes boom before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
you wouldn’t write well you look a
little odd your dancing is terrible the
singing was horrendous
and you look like one of those creatures
that live in the jungle with those
massive eyes

the worst singer in America I think
you’re possibly the worst singer in the
world based on that performance and I’m
absolutely serious I’ve never ever heard
anything like that in my life
Stephen I’ve heard some weird auditions
in my life but I’ve got to tell you that
it’s possibly the weirdest I’ve ever
heard in my life I mean it was it was
like a one-year-old singing not in a
billion years there are only so many
words I can drag out of my vocabulary to
say how awful that was you’re taking
singing lessons yes I do
you should teacher there is this lady up
in Montana do you have a lawyer no I
don’t have a lawyer get a lawyer and sue
her number one the birth of a pop
culture phenomenon Kelly Clarkson wins

importance of American Idol

she inspired a generation of hopeful
performers and upon winning the first
season
Clarkson fulfilled her potential by
selling millions of Records and winning
