Alex Wagner-Trugman
Contestant #26379
Alex started by explaining that he taught himself to sing in his mold-infested closet which led to his getting sick and, as Simon put it, coming out of the closet. Alex also claimed that he would quickly gain popularity in Abkazia, Zimbabwe, and Canada.
Randy compared Alex to Joe Cocker, but Simon preferred "Cocker Spaniel". Alex noted, "That would be really funny, if it made any sense."
Alex sang James Ingram's Baby Come to Me a bit less mainstream but in pitch, and he won over Randy and Paula and got passed through to Hollywood.
