Derek Dupree
Contestant #2061
Derek prepared for his audition by telling the camera all about his confidence, yet his huge sweat spots on his shirt might have betrayed that notion.
Derek claimed to be able to sing in three pitches: Low, Mid, and Semi-High. This alone tells you how well Derek could sing.
After being rejected, he pleaded with the judges to give him an hour and allow him to come back for another shot.
Ryan Seacrest took Dupree out on the street to sing for random passersby. One couple started laughing as he sung, but that apparently was no hint to Derek that he might not make the cut.
