Michael Gurr
Contestant #36332
Michael started exhibiting signs of extreme nervousness before his audition. He was nervous about the judges and was sweating profusely, which may not have been too uncommon on a summer day in Phoenix.
Michael took the stage in front of the judges and croaked out Starts with Goodbye by Carrie Underwood. Simon and Paula agreed that they couldn't understand a word of his audition and requested another chance because he wasn't feeling well.
Michael then got the chance to butcher another Underwood song, Sometimes You Leave, written by judge Kara DioGuardi. Randy started laughing, but Kara insisted, "This is my moment!"
Post-audition, Michael ended up sitting on the floor and was given a banana, a glass of water, and a chair to help him recuperate. But really, isn't that all any American Idol wannabe needs?
