Season 8's Worst Audition Photos
Now that the Season 8 auditions are complete, the official American Idol website has posted photos from each of the audition cities. I see a disturbing pattern of many, many male contestants sporting the up-swept bangs, as if they just stepped out of Grease. Idle Idols has done the work for you and gone through all these photos to find the silliest and lamest photos of the bunch. While not all these contestants will make it on the air, we guarantee you that you will see some of these weirdos when the audition episodes start airing!
Here is a list of the thirty-one most "interesting" photos from each city:
New York City
- DON'T ask a Ninja
- An Old-School Rocker whose hair and pants are both fake.
- This dude looks like a villain from the classic Star Trek series.
- The Friendly Pimp
- Who told this Johnny Chan Wannabe that this was the line for the World Series of Poker?
- Is that contestant named "Amber Lee" or "Max Headroom"?
- The Singing Narcoleptic
Jacksonville
- Has American Idol become a contact sport?
- Who knew Bennifer auditioned this year?
- . . . and so did Carrot Top!
Kansas City
- If anyone even has a guess at what's going on here, please post a comment and let me know.
- This dude is so money, he doesn't even know it.
- This guy's quite the "stud".
- Some guys know how to dress appropriately.
San Juan
- What happens when you genetically combine Pauly Shore with Michael Jackson?
- San Juan's youngest contestant.
Salt Lake City
- This contestant's got it going on . . . as long as you like rainbows.
- Some contestants just look so fake on these reality shows.
- Three contestants and their stalker-fan.
Phoenix
- It's the strongest rainbow-haired contestant of the year!
- It's not the size of the mic that matters, it's how you sing into it!
- Yo, wus' up?
Louisville
- Louisville has the highest quality sideburns, hands down!
- It looks like a 1980s couch sprouted a Kiss head and is trying to sing now. Side note: When wearing full-face costume make-up, always be sure to leave those glasses on for pictures!
- These Idol contestants just get younger and younger looking.
San Francisco
- Were there a lot of heifers auditioning in San Francisco?
- Does that sign say "Stop the Children"?
- Come on, someone throw this guy a bone.
- Look! It's the next Kellie Pickler . . . or not.
- Is this dude cold, or did he hurt his neck in a sofa accident?
- Hey, is that Subservient Chicken? (The real SC, for comparison.)
- This contestant wants to show the judges he's responsible enough to dress up in a suit and tie, but you can't control what's on his head!
Which ones do you hope to see in action during the audition episodes?
