It’s that time of year again. That’s right, American Idol started last night.
Now, I’ll admit right off the bat that what I really like about American Idol is the auditions, where we all get to see some very strange characters who for some strange reason think they can sing. Once the auditions are over, I kind of lose interest.
Here are a few wacky videos from last night’s show, for your amusement.
Paul Martuano, a really creepy guy who sang a song he wrote about stalking Paula Abdul. He gets escorted out by security, needless to say.
James Lewis compares himself to Eddie Veder of Pearl Jam. Eddie Veder, he’s not. But since he said he was encouraged by his coworkers to audition, I think it’s safe to say that his coworkers are having some laughs at his expense right now.
Social worker Milo Turk doesn’t meet contest rules, but sings his own song called “No Sex Allowed”. I think he’s trying to explain why he’s a 39-year-old virgin.
Alyce Wojciechowski invents some new musical notes, followed by a couple of other contestants who think “sing” and “scream” are the same thing because the two words sound somewhat alike.
