Season 9's Funniest Audition Pictures
Season 9 kicks off tonight, and we have a bunch of crazy auditions waiting for us! Fox released a multitude of audition pictures that show just how weird some of the contestants were. As with previous seasons, expect to see some of these zany characters in the audition episodes.
Here are the most interesting photos, picked by the editor:
- When this rainbow, tie-dye themed contestant (pictured here) strums his rainbow guitar, jellybeans appear from the strings.
- This is one creepy hooded dude. I have a strong feeling we will be seeing more of him on the show. Will he be creepy or hilarious . . . or both?
- I wonder if this guy performs under the name "Benny Hana". (Yes, it is a bad pun, thank you very much.)
- Maxine Headroom, I presume?
- Billy Idol meets Mr. T?
- News Flash: Scientists have genetically mixed the Tin Man, the Burger King, and Flavor Flav!
- As I have been saying for years, the bagpipes will soon make a splash in pop music!
- All the 1980s hair bands called. They want their look back.
- Who's more disturbing: The Queen of Goth Punk or the King of the Nerds?
- You've got to bring the bling to Idol! Something tells me that this guy is just in it for the money, though . . .
- A microphone belt buckle? Much like a car crash, I want to see more, but I don't want to see what I have already seen.
- Hey look! It's the strongest man in the world . . . willing to wear a rainbow wig.
- The Amish look returns to American Idol this year!
- Is this scary "woman" from Transylvannia?
- Does the peace symbol necklace get my point across? Naah, I better put on my red, white, and blue hat in the shape of a hand giving the peace sign. Then they'll know what I'm getting at!
- These glasses are so unique . . . would you like them in blue or red?
- This contestant better be bringing some old school rap to season nine!
- This man's shiny outfit will not go unnoticed.
- Does anyone else feel like eating some fried chicken right about now?
- Oh, darn. For a second I thought I saw Tiny Tim.
- One of these three contestants has a stronger chance of making it onto the Idle Idols site this year. Can you guess which one?
Which of these characters will make it onto the audition episodes? Who will be just as outlandish as their photo would suggest? Tune in this season and find out!
