In preparation for this weeks American Idol episode, I thought that I would revisit some of what are, in my opinion, some of the worst performances ever featured on this show. So, without further ado (and in no particular order), here are some REALLY bad singers:
Amanda Overmyer
Amanda screeched more often than not. And when she wasn’t screeching, she just sounded flat. Here is her slaughtering one of my favorite rock songs from the 70′s
Tim Urban
Admittedly, there have been worse singers on AI than Tim. However, he rates near the top of the most boring performers. In this clip, he does absolutely NO justice to Queen’s Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Antonella Barba
Antonella was a pretty face on Idol and that was about it. Occasionally, she would hit a decent note, but more often than not, she fell flat. Luckily for us, we were only subjected to 3 performances before she was voted off.
Mikalah Gordan
This clip speaks for itself and could possibly be the worst performance ever seen on the show.
Kristy Lee Cook
I honestly don’t know what to say about Kristy Lee. Perhaps my comments from the original airing of this clip will suffice: “Please, America. Do us all a favor and don’t vote for Kristy Lee this week.” (Sadly, America didn’t listen to me that week.)
Haley Scarnato
Haley had no talent…that was pretty obvious from the get-go. What she DID have was legs. Lots and lots of legs. They’re the only explanation I have for why she stayed on the show as long as she did.
Camile Velasco
Bad. Just bad.
Sanjaya Malakar
I have no clue how Sanjaya survived as long as he did on this show. Somehow, he managed to last another 3 weeks after this horrid performance. Even Gwen Stefani seems to doubt his talent in this clip.
Kevin Corvais
Kevin Corvais had no business being on this show ever. I think it was cruel for them to have picked him at all. This clip just makes me uncomfortable.
