Dewone Robinson
Contestant #100492
Dewone was pretty confident that he was cut out to be the next American Idol. After all, his great uncle Clyde discovered Gladys Knight & the Pips and he is also related to drummer Motown Bobby.
As Dewone started singing, Simon cut him off to ask him what he was singing. Dewone told Simon that it was an original song and started to sing again, but Simon cut him off again to get the title of the song: Lady, We're Not Together Any More. The song was pretty simple, but you need to know that each line alternates with a high-pitched voice and a deep bass:
Lady, I know you
Baby, I know you
La-La-Lady, I know you
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over.
Simon told Dewone that it was one of the worst original songs he had ever heard. Dewone became upset about Simon jumping on him about the song title when he was trying to sing. To compensate, Dewone sang a snippet of Rick James' Fire and Desire and claimed that he was just shell-shocked.
Dewone stared singing his original song again but Kara threw her papers in the air and Randy started shouting for security.
On his way down the elevator, Dewone is seen singing, "It's over, it's over, it's over with me." We couldn't agree more.
