Remembering The Best Of The Worst On American Idol
November 27th, 2010
Sometimes, a performance is so bad, it is worth remembering. Just like a popular movie we can be assured that we will always remember them.
The American Idol show enthusiasts all know what we have been talking about. It’s not always the top that stand out in your mind. You’ve the pure bred Carrie Underwood kinds who stand out and through, but on the other hand on the Idol, you can find those we keep in mind for… other things. As in they can not sing.
Below, is a list of the 10 worst (or dare I say best?) American Idol shows as of yet:
10. Kellie Pickler: “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” — She did all three to the viewers with this song. Experts are still trying to figure out how she did it but the answer still stays unknown.
9. David Radford: “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” — David’s jerks round the stage and facial expressions rivaling a clown had us all confused..
8. Lisa Wilson: “Come to My Window” — The previous Miss USA competitor should have focused on beauty.
7. Rodesia Eaves: “Daydream Believer” — Being the forgettable individual in Season 1 until she belted out this Monkees song. Yelling and screaming off-key, she ended it (and herself) off with one extremely out-of-tune howl.
6. Ace Young: “Drops of Jupiter” — His star falling fast, Ace tried to resurrect himself on this one. Young’s mistake? His revealing of the “permanent scar” on his chest during the matching lyrics. Gag.
5. Jasmine Trias: “It’s Raining Men” — Season Four’s final competitors were a pretty formidable group, save for just one contestant from the hawaiian islands.
4. Bobby Bennett: “Copacabana” — Bennett was so oblivious to what the idol judges needed to hear on Idol he decided to do essentially the most overdone karaoke song for all time for his performance.
3. Janay Castine: “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)” — Emerging as a dark horse in Season 4, Janay’s performance of this Blu Cantrell hit really made America question her presence on the show. It turned out kinda scary!
2. John Stevens: “Crocodile Rock” (below) — One of the biggest guilty pleasures in Idol history was watching John Stevens step out of his shell to perform this Elton John classic. The judges referred to it as the worst performance they’d seen.
1. Juanita Barber: “What About the Children” — Juanita, a religious performer, destroyed this song concerning the kids during Season 2, then threw back at the less-than-thrilled judges, asking Randy Jackson, “Do you know who I am? You better find out who I am.” What else could earn the #1 spot for this list?
