considering their attitude and physical
[Applause]
singing the songs the music that you
love ronaldo leepu’s is certainly an
interesting character right off the bat
we know this guy is something special as
he struts into the audition dressed like
he’s going as a pimp for Halloween
complete with a cape and extravagant hat
and then it just gets better as he
proudly announces that he’ll be singing
an original song called we’re brothers
forever you’re always in my heart your
feelings in you no more he proceeds to
yell rather than sing the abysmal lyrics
and dramatically gestures with his arms
as if he’s welling the audience at an
opera ronaldo is a fun dude
and the judges think so too but a singer
he is not
number nine Larry Platt pants on the
ground pants on the ground looking like
a fool with your pants on the ground
following in the tradition of people
writing their own songs Larry Platt
Wilde the judges with his composition
titled pants on the ground and we have
to give him credit the song is catchy as
[Music]
Larry who’s Simon admits is a little
over the age limit of 28 has a ton of
fun singing and dancing and the judges
clearly love it as well like Ronaldo
leepu’s flat is an entertaining guy and
his audition is great for a hearty
chuckle what’s more his audition was
prime viral material and it provided
Platt with his 15 minutes of fame number
for your turn Knicks its Minh is
undoubtedly one of the most memorable
American Idol auditions the show
immediately acknowledges his odd
personality through its editing and you
can tell that Simon takes notice of
Nick’s eccentricity the second he walks
through the door Nick doesn’t help
himself by saying that he’s been quote
kind of the leader voice of choirs in
the past
he proceeds to absolutely butcher
Simon’s favorite song and the judges
mixture of disappointment and anger is
Nik is equal parts creepy awkward and
incredibly bad at singing but it makes
for terrific entertainment what the
bloody hell was that
number 7 Derek Skilling’s I can honestly
say you want to earth Sigma in America
room derek Stillings tried to be the
next Justin Timberlake he ended up
becoming a national laughingstock
instead derek struts in like he’s a
member of NSYNC complete with white tank
top baggy blue pants and backwards visor
and he tries his absolute darndest to
mimic their smooth dance modes
unfortunately he’s not quite as smooth
yeah yeah that one I’m going keeping my
dreams I wanna hold his dancing is
incredibly awkward and his singing is
even worse as he sounds like a mumbling
adult putting on a baby voice my diamond
ring I wanna keep you
Am I alright so he would I mean we don’t
know about you guys but we wouldn’t have
minded hearing the chorus why’d you have
to stop him Simon yeah you don’t know
one I’ve seen in my dreams you want to
hear to course no I couldn’t hear any
more number six
Isadora Fermin Isadora Furman apparently
makes a living as a clairvoyant reading
palms too bad she couldn’t foresee how
badly this audition was gonna go Isadora
claims she sounds like various musical
legends including Stevie Nicks and Janis
Joplin she actually sounds like well
let’s just say you should turn the
volume down lest someone in the other
rooms think you’re watching something
the resulting panning shot of the judges
disbelieving faces is a thing of beauty
to make matters worse she defended
herself and disrespected the judges
after Simon called it quote
fantastically terrible and Simon refused
to give advice due to her nasty attitude
and on that note okay hon number five
Steven phone Steven’s own claims that he
can hit the high notes and that he can
sing as well as Freddie Mercury but
Freddie Mercury he is not in fact he
disrespects the memory of mercury by
Stephen proceeds to butchered the song
by singing like a mouse and he
oftentimes attempts to sing so high that
the notes get caught in his throat and
like most bad singers who think they’re
good
he awkwardly defends himself from the
judges before storming off in
disappointment and attempts to exit
through the wrong door he just can’t
make this stuff up at the top number
and say that you know it’s bad when even
Paula starts laughing James Lewis gave
us one of the funniest auditions of all
time with his oversized mustard yellow
suit and horribly awkward performance of
go down Moses we don’t even know where
to start with this one the
incomprehensible lyrics his deep nasally
voice the stiff arm gestures the
unintentionally hilarious delivery of
the song his attempt to wow the judges
with a different song no matter what
aspect of this horrendous performance
you find funniest it’s clear that James
does not have what it takes to be the
next American Idol but a viral internet
sensation now that’s a different story
number three Mary Roach I want to say
big to Simon and Randy and Martin even
though he’s a hottie I won’t deny that
Mary Roach is certainly a memorable one
her actual performance is bad enough as
she awkwardly swings her arms in an
attempt to dance and sounds like a
runner trying to talk and catch their
breath at the same time the way the
judges simply stare at her after her
performance is a fitting conclusion to
her abysmal audition she initially takes
it pretty well before storming off and
having a bit of a breakdown in the
hallway she then proceeds to yell and
curse at the judges before giving one
very creepy final performance for the
but you know you lad said we weren’t
wrong we think these psycho like music
is rather fitting number two William
Hung you ladies Pearson I’m taking the
way like it bomb yeah baby bad William
Hung is easily the most infamous
American Idol contestant of all time
from the get-go hung became a national
sensation due to his incredibly awkward
demeanor
heavy accent and most importantly his
so-called singing Oh baby she moves I go
crazy cuz she loves like it’s love but
she stays like it be hung looks like a
child on stage complete with his tucked
in shirt and adorable little arm motions
and his voice is no better than that of
a six-year-old thank you hung took
advantage of his fame for quite a while
before retiring for music in 2011 and
securing a job as a technical crime
analyst well we’re glad he found success
there because he definitely wasn’t gonna
find it with his singing you know I have
no professional training of singing no
well that’s surprised at the sentence
tree before we unveil our number one
North Prince Gloria you’re always on the
run now running after somebody you’re
gonna get him somehow I think you got to
slow down number one
Keith buccal air last year I described
someone as being the worst singer in
America I think you’ll possibly the
worst thing or in the world just when
you thought it couldn’t get any worse
than William Hung in comes Keith buccal
air Keith struts in with his oversized
sweater and declares that he will be
singing Madonna’s like a virgin I made
it
and Ernest somehow I made it through I
didn’t know how last I was – I found you
we’re not sure if he was trying to be
seductive or what but he proceeds to
bring out some incredibly weird and
flamboyant dance moves while nasally
squeaking his way through the song like
a badge in touch this time as if that
wasn’t bad enough he proceeds to sing I
want to dance with somebody with the
exact same voice and moves that strikes
upon Allen Sun begins to fade
Randy is right to cover his face as we
can barely watch this through the
computer screen just imagine being there
in person do you agree with our picks
