American Idol rejects: Tone deaf girl

Uncategorized

Tone deaf girl went crazy after Idol audition rejection. She is kinda missing the point here.

American Idol 6 Reject – Sarah Goldberg

“You know what, Randy? This people can sing, yes they can. But I can the only American Idol that has never sang before. Look at this – I’m unique! Wow!” she says.

She sure is angry but she isn’t really making much sense.

You can see Kelly Clarkson really wild here, I was a little shock when I saw this video. It’s just so unlike the personality she portrayed in our magazines.

Kelly Clarkson attended a Metal Skool concert with Ryan Key (from band Yellowcard) and her liquor.

*Clarkson Shows Off Her Wild Side at Rock Club*

“American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson showed off her wildchild side on Monday night when she joined heavy rockers Metal Skool to knock back shots of whisky onstage in Los Angeles.

The pop/rock star was dragged up on stage at the Key Club show after she refused to flash her breasts at singer Ralph Saenz.

“At one point we all thought she would bare her breasts but she simply took off her sweater. It was a real hoot watching a Miss USA-type downing whisky with a sleazy rock band. She was having a great time.”

She’s so wild on stage. Drunk apparently.

Wow, I can imagine the judges in Singapore Idol telling her, “it was a risky performance, but you pulled it off.” Jacintha is probably going to say to Kelly Clarkson, “you have the Kelly voice.”

Singapore Idol is returning! I’m quite excited about the auditions. I know it’s sadistic but that really is the highlight of watching reality shows. Okay, maybe this isn’t exactly a reality show. But it has the essense of one, they show people crying, screaming and doing horrible things to impress the judges.

Back then, Steven Lim tried to impress the judges with his sickening dance. It was then I swear I will never watch an episode of Singapore Idol again. But really, it’s what that makes Singapore Idol interesting.

Watch direct from YouTube.

I now realize I fall into a category of audience that just like to watch others at their worst. I did so rather unconciously, I just laugh and laugh for a couple of hours and then start to feel ashame of myself. It kinda goes against my principles to not look down on people.

See, even American Idol came out with American Idol – The Best & Worst of American Idol. The worst part include William Hung and likes.

Of course there are good singers in Singapore Idol. But, really, do you have to watch Singapore Idol for good singers? There are plenty already, and I like good singers. I just like bad ones too.

Remember Ricky Martin? I sure do. Slightly however. It’s been a while since I last heard music from that fellow. And now, every time I hear his hit ‘She Bangs’, I end up thinking of William Hung.

Ricky Martin can sing “She Bangs” all he wants but all that’s in my mind is William Hung moving his arms along with the music. That’s how bad it is. The once sexy song that many women (and men) enjoyed has been demoted to an utter joke. No longer can anyone picture Ricky shaking his bon-bon, it’s now William Hung with western suits maneuvering his stiff body.

I think William just killed Martin. If, in the future, Ricky Martin wants to come up with some album, he better make sure William Hung doesn’t hear it. Actually, even if Ricky’s somehow able to stop William from hearing, then singing along, then dancing to the song, it doesn’t stop the other American Idol wannabes from performing the same act.

William’s act is much appreciated by me. It brought me laughter at least. I even downloaded his video from some site to check out his moves. It was.. well.. stunning.

Singapore Idol also witness a couple of William Hungs. [Just on a side note, someone commented that my Web Application lecturer actually looked like William Hung.] One sang an off-tune “Lemon Tree”. Another tried to.. Oh well, at least the “Lemon Tree” one’s entertaining. Then there was this fellow was wears a mask and calls himself the “Banana man”. These contestants never reached the media frenzy level of William Hung, but sure made me laugh, though only half as hard.

Why? Oh, maybe they should’ve been more sincere and say that they’ve tried their best and wouldn’t have any regrets or something. That may work. Or maybe, there needs to have one of those crazy waist movements.

Maybe it’s about singing a Ricky tune. I’m picturing William Hung and Ricky Martin having a duet together, with the former flapping his arms and the latter waving his arms showing off his shaved arm-pits.

It’s several weeks after that I wanted to make a comment about William Hung. Being a civil engineer student,William Hung tried the impossible to battle against fellow contestants in the American Idol audition. As expected, the impossible is indeed impossible.

There is no doubt that William Hung is brave. I mean, who would dare to bang in front of national TV; what’s more, in America which has something like – correct me if I’m wrong – 300 million people. William has been a great sport frankly. There is nothing bad about his personality.

However his innocence, courageousness and humble beginnings backfired. He appeared naive, silly and more silly. The narrator even told him to bang somewhere else. What has the poor Chinese did to deserve these embarrassing moments?

Everything.

He should have watched a couple of episodes of American Idol and think hard: is my singing of any standard? He tried hard, he probably knew he’ll be the joke of the town, correction: world.

He sang Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” in front of 3 celebrated judges. One of which is Randy Jackson, who spend more than half the time covering his head with an A4 size paper. Judge Paula Abdul is probably thinking what to say to make that poor guy feel encouraged. The last judge, Simon Cowell, swallowed much of his sarcasms and didn’t say much bad things for once.

I laughed in front of my 34-inch television. I told myself he’s going to make it big. Not in the music field, but in CNN, CNBC, BBC, Fox News and all other news channels.

He became extremely famous. My local television channel, Channel 5, telecasted American Idol 3. Part of the screen shows distracting SMS-es, where the nothing-to-do home viewers sent in, claiming that they want William Hung to be back in American Idol to participate.

That is totally unacceptable, at least to me, likely to Fox too. It’s sad to see William being laughed upon, but there’s no need to make William into the American Idol. That itself is unrealistic. It is absurd and plain stupid. I wished the others can just wake up. Stop this William Hung crap, don’t support him. It’s not worth it at all. I see nothing good in him except his entertainment in the rather boring audition.

Show business is a harsh world, not for innocent kids like William. He makes a good comedian and a good sport. He belongs to Saturday Night Live (SNL), not American Idol! Just knock the door of SNL producers, he’ll be part of the show in no time.
