American Idol Auditions That Have Made Us LOL

Paula, Simon, Randy and Ryan. I can breathe a sigh of relief because my favorite reality show is returning to television tonight. “American Idol” is back for its eighth season, but I have to say my expectations for this season are extremely low. The show has decided to make some “creative” changes which include cutting back on the amount of auditions we get to laugh at, to focus more on the emotional journey the contestants go through. Ummm, HELLO!!! Don’t they know the only reason people watch the show is to make fun of others who choose to publicly humiliate and embarrass themselves on TV.  This took me down memory lane of some memorable auditions from past “American Idol” seasons. After the jump, the funniest (I had tears in my eyes) AI auditions. I saved the best one for last too.

Who are the producers kidding to think that viewers care about emotional journeys? This show is really like two shows. The first part is all about watching people publicly humiliate themselves, with a sprinkling of good singers so you can compose yourself from all the laughing. And the second part is taking bets on who will win and what song(s) they will/should pick! As soon as someone wins, no one cares anymore.

Don’t take away the laughter American Idol producers! Don’t you know your audience after all these years??? Remember William Hung? Now that was funny!
