Ridiculous.

He was singing at some volleyball game in CA last night.

Unbelievable.

I don't know why but I feel sorry for him. People seem to be taking advantage of him.

They showed a clip of the guy at the volleyball game on PTI today. They even gave him background dancers. It was hilarious.

The best part of it was (apparently, I don't watch AI) when he told them that he has never had any professional experience and that he had a good time and no regrets.

It was funny, although I always thought it was funnier when people were dreadful but actually thought they could win the competition. Very strange. Even stranger is I watch 'My Big Obnoxious Fiance'.

I think there will be an hour long AI show next week with 'all new' bad singers on it, how fun. :rolleyes:

I love the guy!

He knows he's not good, but wants to try things out and see how it goes.

c'mon...he's a Civil Engineering student a UC-Berkeley...you don't think he just soaking up his 15 minutes of fame knowing that people are only interested in him because he's goofy?

Great site number one
Great site number two

You have to listen to his interview with the radio station.

the guys a riot. my wife thinks he's retarded. i keep telling her he's majoring in engineering, but she still thinks somethings wrong with him.

WEG....i love how many of them think they're the shiznit, and simon puts them in their place. it's great. like the one chick who said the show would suck without her on it. it's great seeing these egotisical freaks get knocked off their high horse. what have they ever done to get the huge ass egos they have, anyway?

We might be talking about the same person, but I loved the one who came out saying something like; "They obviously don't want an American Idol who can act, sing and dance" and she was absolutely terrible. The thing I find sad though is you always see the parents in the background pushing them on. I know you are meant to encourage your kids, but damn sometimes they need a dose of reality too.

The other problem I have with the show is they audition before they get to the judges. So these that believe they are good are put through only because they are terrible. Actually that makes me laugh.

Scooter girl should have made it through.

[bigJOE]

i agree. she was better than a lot of these stiffs. just because she was a little odd, they boot her.
