Its because to be good you have to be aware of what doesnt work, so you keep focusing on that being a perfectionist that by the time you're "good" you're damaged goods and waiting for something bad to happen lol.
My ex used to cast for these kind of shows and he said they purposely chose bad ones just for TV! And they only select a certain amount of good ones.. meaning some people were good but were turned away because they had a certain balance of good and bad for TV. And to get in front of Simon and the others it took several auditions and call backs. Which is actually pretty cruel when you think about it.. they pretty much know who will be the winner from the beginning! Because the winners are already professional singers. These shows are lies.. And they’ve wasted all these people’s time that don’t realize they don’t stand a chance. I was supposed to be on the Voice years ago and when I found out I was the only amateur, I didn’t want to do it because I’d only be getting on the show because I knew someone instead of because I worked at it. I had some experience but nothing big like that
@@greeneyez0697 I don’t know how some people could walk into a room full of people who did the work while they only got there because of someone they knew. I was ashamed to say “oh I got here because my fiancé got me in” and that’s why I walked away. I was the least talented and they kept giving me call backs! I knew I wasn’t the best.. It just isn’t fair!
@@MamiTT237 I agree. Unfortunately, that's the nature of all TV shows. They cast these poor delusional people who naturally begin to think they're something. But that's their own fault. In the 21st century, there's no excuse not to record yourself at least on your phone and work on your vocals. If they don't realize they're so bad, they deserve the notoriety.
I can't believe the full footage was hidden for so long. Simon was WAY more kind and patient than he was portrayed to be in the small mash-ups, once you see the full context.
This is exactly why Simon has a reputation for being mean but hes right these people are horrendously tone deaf and delusional. He has gotten nicer over the years imo.
Typical genaration blonde She wouldn't get a note in a bank She's got new job as Air hostess.after all she s Lots of experience with her legs in the air 🤣
If you notice, it was right around the time his son was born that he changed and his heart grew ten sizes. He's definitely nicer to kids and those who are at a disadvantage. He also has a business to run. I bet he used to be nice until he was walked on and his time was wasted. Now, he's been a rip the band-aid off kinda guy. There's something to be said about a person who won't waste your time. His opinion is highly valued and that should say enough. Some will never take no for an answer.
I never thought Simon was as mean as people made him out to be and this solidifies it. Hes respectful, honest, and blunt. Straight to the point and he doesnt sugar coat it. He's the best judge, fer sure
I appreciated that this collection of horrific auditions has more context and complete interviews than the "cut" versions circulating all over the internet for the last 10 years. Well done.
Love this panel of judges love randy so good hearted, adore Simon , gene Simmons so polite and shows such respect to Simon , Paula , beautiful -great panel of judges !
I’ve seen Keith’s audition a million times but I’ve never seen the after interview. The way he talked about not regretting it because he met a lot of nice people and stuff, he seems like a very sweet person. I wonder how he is today
The 2nd one, blonde girl, really wasn’t that bad. It’s the way she portrayed herself as a diva before she sang and then her lack of being abled to take criticism after the fact. The judge panel knows from the get-go what kind of attitude they are searching for and because she was combative and unwilling to lower her own opinion of herself, it was easy to reject her in totality.
100% agree. Had she dropped the diva act, and picked a song that was in her octave lane, she might had gone to the next round. Simon was right about her throwing Mariah octaves into an already complicated song. She rushed through in such a breathless way too.
That first girl. EVERYONE in the industry has worked with a vocal coach and voice lesson at some point. It's common to continuously work with a vocal coach even as a professional performer. Them telling her to take voice lessons isn't an insult, it's good advice. If you think you're so good, go to a coach who can hear what you can't so you can be better than good.
I hate that people think going to a vocal coach and having training means they’re horrible. It just means that they could build up what they already have and find possible potential. Like some of these people could genuinely be something if they had done extensive training. But they just take it the wrong way entirely..
Tamika: "I can ask anybody that I have ever sang for in my whole entire life and they will tell you right now that girl has a beautiful voice". Yes, and they're all being nice to you by lying.
@@maria7689The meanest people are the ones in his life who set him up for failure; his friends know damn well what they did propping up like that. I gotta be honest though.. it must've been HILARIOUS from their POV
Tamika doesn’t want to hear anything else but how good she thinks she is. The rants after she left the audition definitely won’t get her anywhere but slamming doors.
Tam ick Ka, Tam ick Ka, Tam ick Ka 🤣🤣🤣🤣 in my Simon voice 🤣🤣 I thought he was saying "time to cut" 🤣🤣🤣 but when she said it's Tameka I spit my drink out
The judges must request an increase in pay for this torture. It was so heartfelt to see them coaching the candidates for alternative routes in life. I practiced my abs watching this tonight. Thanks!
Tamika had a huge chip on her shoulder. She's probably been told by a few friends a family that she's amazing. I hope she saw this and took her down about 100 pegs and she came back down to reality.
@@angels0auras Seriously. Her ex boyfriend murdered her. She was murdered at the age of 24 in 2004 and her remains weren't found until 2005. Her father died in a murder/suicide in 2017 in South Carolina.
When Simon say "I just heard you murdered 2 songs" 😂😂😂 I laugh so hard till I nearly cried 😂😂😂. Then again if it was me singing and I see the judges burst out in laughter and won't stop, I would just leave instantly 😊.

Shame on these contestants family and friends who lied to them to make asses of themselves! Even though its hilarious! I cant deal this is to much 😂😂😂😂
I remember when this first aired for season 1. It immediately turned into a family night event with my aunt coming over every week to do dinner and American idol.
Me too! I was 13 and spending the summer with my aunt. It was like a party. We found out you could call up to 7 times on the land line to vote for your favorite. We'd run around the trailer court to borrow our neighbors' phones to vote for our favorites. We loved Nikki McKibbon!
Judges need too be more respectful !!! Do they realise that they are lowering themselves when laughing, looking away, have negative body language and with one judge holding a square piece of paper in front of his face when contestants are performing and doing their very best. Bad performance from the judges, and no need for the Theatrics. Well done to those Contestants that gave their all
I hope that Tamika girl is watching this again like 30 years later & finally understands that the judges were trying to help her. She needs more training to be a better soloist.
Sometimes I wish I had this level of confidence, but then I realize I might end up a delusional, narcissistic asshole like a lot these guys. No thanks, I’ll stay in my box lmao.
She can't sing in key!! Get out of here!! It's everything, they can't feel timing and rhythm, vibrato? It was stuck on one setting each note - just nasty. Not a musician.
@@JMac-27 Her diction and mouth shape didn't do her any service either. A lot of people don't realize that getting lessons isn't a detriment. For some reason people have this notion if they are self taught it's better, but self taught people don't have key skills, and it's short sighted to say you love music but refuse to do everything possible to become the best you can be. I don't understand that.
When you list out the fact that the combined net worth of Randy, Paula, and Simon is over $400m, makes these uninformed (and resistant) contestants’ responses even funnier. American idol is akin to a job interview, hence it becomes even funnier that contestant spew their mouths off with absolutely no knowledge of what they are saying. Randy, Paula, and Simon are nothing short of captains of their industry, which adds another layer of juxtaposition in which we can lol even more loudly 😂
@@donnabaardsen5372 she was completely tone def. i was only half watching this with the volume lowered and i could hear it blatantly. especially when she would try to reach higher pitches
Right!?! I remember thinking he was way worse than he actually was. Listening to him again he wasn’t near as bad I remembered him and I love his personality…guess that’s why he had his moment of fame.
I bought his CD….. when he sang can you feel the love tonight it made the animals freak out at my gram’s 😂 she broke it so I couldn’t play it anymore..
@@jauntycommander1065 Thank you for a great laugh 😂 I'm sorry your Grandma broke your c.d.! I can relate to that, as my mom broke my Def Leppard c.d. because she thought they were evil 🙈 haha
ive always wonderd that to makes them look silly all of them however maybe they think it shows strength and tenacity maybe tey think they areb eing challenged by the judges the thought just occured to me now ,
@@coryr7183 these are also edited. the reactions they're cutting back to might not be the ones the judges were doing in real time. and we're listening to their mics, which they can turn the volume up on. the laughter could be quieter in the actual room. and on top of all that i'm sure they're coached to keep going and do not stop until they tell you to stop, no matter what reaction they're getting.
true and can also be said for the limited family 1 has (because of death n distnace n others being more messed up) but saying it to the 1s that are very talented but need thier break /foot in the door , but then again those relatives arent musical themselfs and even if they did say it that doesnt change thing s in most cases unless they have contacts that are good but i dont need my family ,
@@actualwakandangirl7121 no, she wasnt. Do your research and stop copy pasting this misinformation. You're thinking of Tamika Huston, this is Tamika Bush.
In the 2.3k comments im sure this is in there, but is so true that "Those who dont have the confidence to audition, are likely the ones that should - and the ones that have way too much confidence should be the ones watching at home."
Tamika has an attitude problem and doesn't take constructive criticism at all. She's defensive and thinks she knows it all. Girl has some growing up to do. If you can't sing you can't sing. Move on.
They need a list of songs that people should not be permitted to sing. Unchain melody needs to be at or near the top. Anything by Maria or Whitney should also be forbidden.
This was filmed a LONG time ago and she isn't familiar AT ALL. Sooooo......maybe if she had taken lessons she'd be something now. No matter how great you think you are you can always learn more to better yourself, ALWAYS. And respecting people, no matter who they are, is extremely important. Criticism is ALSO a lesson in learning more about yourself and your passion.
William was such a delight. Just humble and unpretentious. And for the most part, was actually on key. Not to mention, he actually cut a record after this audition.
I’ve been singing since I was 5 too, and did lots of solos in the church and school choirs, but that still doesn’t mean I’m good enough to be on American Idol.😂
The big question is which one? The Star Spangled Banner has to be one of the hardest pieces to do. I don’t know whether to admire or ask WTF were you thinking for trying it in an audition. It was written by Francis Scott Key, not Francis ‘Off’ Key.
I blame Tamika's parents, she has clearly never heard the word no! take the critisim, process it and move on and take your awful self important attutide somewhere else.
I’d forgotten about William Hung! The fact that he ACTUALLY capitalized on his HIDEOUS voice and ended up cutting 3 albums and selling like 250k copies. I mean WHAT? And his parting line of …”I’ve actually never had any professional training “. I mean you gotta love his enthusiasm. But it is a VERY good thing he’s intelligent and found his calling elsewhere.
These were hilarious 😂 people are delusional. I could not stop laughing when Simon said you're the worst singer in the world then Randy says that was horrific! To Keith .
The way they treat foreign auditions is so weird & no one ever talks about it. Not just here but on X Factor too. Sharon, Louie & Simon treated a Japanese woman like a baby animal or something....it was so strange. Edit: did the blonde near the end, who didn't even sing & with the horrible audio, stink? Ryan held his nose near her twice so Im wondering if her breath stank or something lol. Could be he was on something too, he def looks it.
Tamika's choir members are probably like, about time somebody told her the truth. Lol
LMAO!!!
Lol
Yes and she may have been baptized but her mouth must have stayed above water considering all her profanity.
Judge is literally in their title for this, so yes, they are judging 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Good singers: 1% confidence
Bad singers: 10000% confidence
Perfect❤
Its because to be good you have to be aware of what doesnt work, so you keep focusing on that being a perfectionist that by the time you're "good" you're damaged goods and waiting for something bad to happen lol.
Goes in general

Not true. I suck at singing AND have no confidence 😂😂😂
What about William hung
Tamika went to an audition, that in of itself, means being judged. Yet, she got so mad that she WAS judged.😂

You know whenever someone says “because I’m very unique” it’s gonna be a disaster
After Keith finished his rendition of Madonna, I immediately smashed my phone and took a shower.
"Can you dig it!"
Is a character!
He actually posesses potential to be in a sitcom
I remember when this first aired for season 1. It immediately turned into a family night event with my aunt coming over every week to do dinner and American idol.
Me too! I was 13 and spending the summer with my aunt. It was like a party. We found out you could call up to 7 times on the land line to vote for your favorite. We'd run around the trailer court to borrow our neighbors' phones to vote for our favorites. We loved Nikki McKibbon!
Good times!!!
I'm afraid you can't tell a narcissist anything constructive. They don't hear a word you're saying, they are so delusional
Bulletproof confidence that even the most devastating reality can't penetrate 😆
Ugh I was just thinking this about my boss haha
If you’re calling William Hung a narcissist, I’m going to have to kick your ass, pal.
Also man-voiced Cyprus girl. She was gracious af
Judges need too be more respectful !!!
Do they realise that they are lowering themselves when laughing, looking away, have negative body language and with one judge holding a square piece of paper in front of his face when contestants are performing and doing their very best.
Bad performance from the judges, and no need for the Theatrics.
Well done to those Contestants that gave their all
Nice Comment
I hope that Tamika girl is watching this again like 30 years later & finally understands that the judges were trying to help her. She needs more training to be a better soloist.
I envy the confidence of each contestant. Their confidence? Off the chart! Part delusional, but still- that confidence? Yes!
Sometimes I wish I had this level of confidence, but then I realize I might end up a delusional, narcissistic asshole like a lot these guys.
No thanks, I’ll stay in my box lmao.
Lol😂
😂😂😂😂
My cat is now traumatized by our national anthem. She is hiding under the bed.
Mine was watching in fascination 😂
Mine hissed at my laptop.
Tamika was murdered in 2004 by her ex-boyfriend.
@@ksrams21 are you serious?
I’m under the bed with ya kitty!😬
I liked the blonde girl's voice a lot. She was off on a few notes but she had a good vibrato and a good range.
She can't sing in key!! Get out of here!! It's everything, they can't feel timing and rhythm, vibrato? It was stuck on one setting each note - just nasty. Not a musician.
She was awful. She changed key at least 20 times. If you’re tone deaf, that can’t be fixed and having a vibrato doesn’t change that.
@@ingridbrandt7710She didnt changed the key Up until each end
That Simon is hilarious , “ that was very appalling”:).. “that was beyond horrific” :) 😂
The blonde girl could use some vocal lessons. She needs someone to teach her how to use her voice.
She needs to lay off the hair dryer with her straw hair and learn what beauty is because she's cute AT BEST. Her attitude makes her ugly!!!
She could definitely sing she had nerves, adrenaline and not pitch or control of her vocals. She just needed lessons
@@JMac-27 Her diction and mouth shape didn't do her any service either. A lot of people don't realize that getting lessons isn't a detriment. For some reason people have this notion if they are self taught it's better, but self taught people don't have key skills, and it's short sighted to say you love music but refuse to do everything possible to become the best you can be. I don't understand that.
Simon has a lot of asses to kiss this season. Happy kissing simon
She wouldn’t listen.
"My nickname is scatgirl."
Not the flex you think it is 😅
When you list out the fact that the combined net worth of Randy, Paula, and Simon is over $400m, makes these uninformed (and resistant) contestants’ responses even funnier. American idol is akin to a job interview, hence it becomes even funnier that contestant spew their mouths off with absolutely no knowledge of what they are saying. Randy, Paula, and Simon are nothing short of captains of their industry, which adds another layer of juxtaposition in which we can lol even more loudly 😂
That blonde chick that walked in with the hosts probably thought that her appearance would be enough to get her through to the next level...
She wasnt as bad as most of the people in these types of clips
@@melissadarienzo1276 I agree. She actually has a really good voice; however, her lousy attitude will cost her until she changes it.
@@donnabaardsen5372 she was completely tone def. i was only half watching this with the volume lowered and i could hear it blatantly. especially when she would try to reach higher pitches
@@drxmxrxm3674 No, she had an ok voice that with training, would amount to something. However, and as said, her attitude is bringing her down.
What's funny is that there are way prettier that show less skin, and aren't conceited through the roof
The fact Simon made Keith sing twice 😂
Never seen a song more suited to a person than Keith and Like a Virgin
I really wanted to see Keith dance.
@@paulbrown6464 😂😂😂
@@paulbrown6464 i thought the same lol
@@scotsman6712...I laughed at that song title.
What in the world do these people think is appropriate outfits. Not one of them were dressed decently. Just horrific choices.
Unchained melody? No more like Unhinged melody! 😂
LOL
Too funny!! You got me.
Awww...I feel so bad for William Hung 😢 He's such a sweet guy and he's so positive and upbeat
He wasn’t even the worst on this video.
Right!?! I remember thinking he was way worse than he actually was. Listening to him again he wasn’t near as bad I remembered him and I love his personality…guess that’s why he had his moment of fame.
I bought his CD….. when he sang can you feel the love tonight it made the animals freak out at my gram’s 😂 she broke it so I couldn’t play it anymore..
@@jauntycommander1065 Thank you for a great laugh 😂 I'm sorry your Grandma broke your c.d.! I can relate to that, as my mom broke my Def Leppard c.d. because she thought they were evil 🙈 haha
@@jauntycommander1065😂😂😂
How can they stand there, seeing these people laughing, wincing & continue with their singing?
ive always wonderd that to makes them look silly all of them however maybe they think it shows strength and tenacity maybe tey think they areb eing challenged by the judges the thought just occured to me now ,
@@coryr7183 these are also edited. the reactions they're cutting back to might not be the ones the judges were doing in real time. and we're listening to their mics, which they can turn the volume up on. the laughter could be quieter in the actual room. and on top of all that i'm sure they're coached to keep going and do not stop until they tell you to stop, no matter what reaction they're getting.
Oh. My. God. Lord have mercy. And I have no self esteem. Where the HELL did THEY find it!?! Their parents LIED to them.😮😢
I miss 2 days of school for this.. it’s a big sacrifice. Haha. How could someone not adore him? 😂❤
You know, I wish people would be honest with their family members and tell them the truth before they get on national TV and embarrass themselves.
true and can also be said for the limited family 1 has (because of death n distnace n others being more messed up) but saying it to the 1s that are very talented but need thier break /foot in the door , but then again those relatives arent musical themselfs and even if they did say it that doesnt change thing s in most cases unless they have contacts that are good but i dont need my family ,
The problem is that most of their relatives share their chromosome pairs, and they’re likely tone deaf as well.
Yeah really lol
Tamika still isn't famous. Imagine that.
@@actualwakandangirl7121 wait what???? what happened to her?
Almost understandable
@@actualwakandangirl7121 no, she wasnt. Do your research and stop copy pasting this misinformation. You're thinking of Tamika Huston, this is Tamika Bush.
@@actualwakandangirl7121OMG stop saying that. Are you guys bots? That was obviously another Tamika
Omg completely wrong Tamika sorry for the wrong info. The internet is something else. And no I’m not a bot.
When they put the Airplane-esque subtitles on that dudes after interview. That was amazing!
In the 2.3k comments im sure this is in there, but is so true that
"Those who dont have the confidence to audition, are likely the ones that should - and the ones that have way too much confidence should be the ones watching at home."
They really ought to have an army of mental health professionals on hand.
I’m not even kidding
Tamika has an attitude problem and doesn't take constructive criticism at all. She's defensive and thinks she knows it all. Girl has some growing up to do. If you can't sing you can't sing. Move on.
It's 2023 and I'm still waiting for just one labeled copy written official song from Tamika 🤣😂😅🤦🏻♂️
One love 🙏🏼❤️💯
@@MrAntoniocanada2002 wrong Tamika. This is Tamika bush - it was Tamika Huston who was killed
@@jeannespuller2797 Really?
@@MrAntoniocanada2002 omg really? How she died?
@@MrAntoniocanada2002
I think Mary, the blond second singer died young.
This is from the American Idol Worst Moments DVD. I have that at home.
"Missing two days of school is a big sacrifice" Today's kids could use some of that mindset
The guy singing Madonna's " like a virgin"🤣
I wish they'd have a camera on the camera men to see them laughing 😁
He sucked!!!! The way he kept sticking his tongue out was cringe
Route 66 Song Randy's reaction had me weak😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol that and like a virgin LOL
They need a list of songs that people should not be permitted to sing. Unchain melody needs to be at or near the top. Anything by Maria or Whitney should also be forbidden.
Lol the guy that singing like a virgin was a amazing show I wish he could have singed I wip my hair back and forth 😂😍
Bless the third girls heart! At least she has a good attitude….when it comes to Simon! 😁
Nonsense comment
Patsy terrified me. It sounded like she was summoning something 😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅
I said the same thing lmaoooo !
She was neurologically painful to me. I got very out of sorts and had to skip her. Total discord.
My cat came running to me when she came on, 90% sure my cat actually thought I was dying 😂
She sounded like a Llama was ran over by a dump truck.
This was filmed a LONG time ago and she isn't familiar AT ALL. Sooooo......maybe if she had taken lessons she'd be something now. No matter how great you think you are you can always learn more to better yourself, ALWAYS. And respecting people, no matter who they are, is extremely important. Criticism is ALSO a lesson in learning more about yourself and your passion.
William was such a delight. Just humble and unpretentious. And for the most part, was actually on key. Not to mention, he actually cut a record after this audition.
I’ve been singing since I was 5 too, and did lots of solos in the church and school choirs, but that still doesn’t mean I’m good enough to be on American Idol.😂
Exactly 😂 same
The way I relate to this because now I think I'm tone deaf 😂😂😭😭
Exactly--same. Choirs growing up. I'm good at singing in my car :)
I think the girl who sang the National Anthem actually hit ONE of the notes. Bless her sweet heart.
Rosanne Barr still did a better job.
She hit all the notes, just not in the right order.
Sounds like the girl that sings it for karate tournaments we go to. Bless her heart. Last time she just forgot the words halfway through.
Her voice has a nice tamber, but she can’t carry a tune
The big question is which one?
The Star Spangled Banner has to be one of the hardest pieces to do.
I don’t know whether to admire or ask WTF were you thinking for trying it in an audition.
It was written by Francis Scott Key, not Francis ‘Off’ Key.
I miss this about American Idol. It was my favorite part! 😅😂😂😂😂
Omg!! I saw this way back then!! The ones that didn’t make it and thought they were all that were hysterical!! 🤣🤣🤣
I blame Tamika's parents, she has clearly never heard the word no! take the critisim, process it and move on and take your awful self important attutide somewhere else.
The generation where everyone gets a blue ribbon.
Y dis Las nut talkin so much an so loud...tsk😮
I’d forgotten about William Hung! The fact that he ACTUALLY capitalized on his HIDEOUS voice and ended up cutting 3 albums and selling like 250k copies. I mean WHAT? And his parting line of …”I’ve actually never had any professional training “. I mean you gotta love his enthusiasm. But it is a VERY good thing he’s intelligent and found his calling elsewhere.
I heard he went on to be a millionaire.
He's not clever at all. The 250k people buying the album of an untalented bafoon are the fools. He just took advantage of the ability of fools.
I have never heard the SSB sung so badly. The young lady was a sweetheart.
I wanna live in the fantasy world these people live in. 😂
The "Like a Virgin" guy HAD to have been a performance artist just messing with the judges 😮
He seemed 1000% serious
I wondered about that too but idk... He seemed a little off so he could have been totally serious
He came back on x factor years later and did baby got back and got in!! Hahaha so he improved over the years lol he was serious.
These were hilarious 😂 people are delusional. I could not stop laughing when Simon said you're the worst singer in the world then Randy says that was horrific! To Keith .
I think Keith and a few others may be on the autism spectrum, just by their demeanor, not a put down, just my observation.
The way they treat foreign auditions is so weird & no one ever talks about it. Not just here but on X Factor too. Sharon, Louie & Simon treated a Japanese woman like a baby animal or something....it was so strange.
Edit: did the blonde near the end, who didn't even sing & with the horrible audio, stink? Ryan held his nose near her twice so Im wondering if her breath stank or something lol. Could be he was on something too, he def looks it.
Stephanie at the end was very pretty and stylish, contagious smile too. I think she could’ve done great in reality TV or something
I love the glasses, on her face, and the sunglasses, on her head/hair. 😆 She’s at least prepared with that
