Lamar Royal
Contestant #100200
Lamar went into the audition excited about performing in front of Mary J. Blige. His hopes weren't set too high, however, because he admitted that he enjoyed constructive criticism and that's what he was hoping to take away from the audition (instead of the golden ticket most were hoping for).
Lamar shouted Seal's Kiss from a Rose in a loud, pitchy style. After he stopped singing, a portion of the discussion went like this:
Kara: I'm not gonna say that you're a terrible singer, because you're not a terrible singer.
Lamar: I'm really shocked, 'cuz that's not true.
Randy: No, she said that she's not saying that. Are you a good listener?
The more advice that the judges tried to give Lamar, the more upset he got. Despite Lamar's love for constructive criticism, Lamar swore at him, started to walk out, and then came back in to yell at the judges.
After some more back and forth, Lamar started singing (for the fourth time) and we get an excellent view of how Idol's security staff works. Suddenly, two bulky security guards stepped in from either side of the performance area and another staff member came in from the side to stand in front of the judges. Another staff member appeared from the exit area and the four of them escorted Lamar out. The four even rode the elevator down with him and escorted him through the parking lot, herding unsuspecting people away from Lamar.
The whole way out, Lamar went on about how Mary J. Blige can't sing and that he didn't know who Kara was and that he wished Paula was there.
