Clay Aiken Scolds ‘Idol’ Hopeful
On Wednesday’s American Idol, Clay Aiken returned to the show that made him famous to help audition potential contestants. And the saying goes: “No good deed goes unpunished.” A man wearing an ill-fitting wig and dress began his audition by shrieking and wildly gyrating in some sort of a dance. After tossing his wig and doing several cartwheels, he finished his performance and stared fiercely at Clay. An unimpressed Clay ask him, “What makes you think that’s American Idol material?” The contestant was shocked that Clay was not impressed. Clay even said his performance was “pretty damn bad.” He went on to scold the man for insulting American Idol by auditioning with such a poorly thought-out piece: “This is a show that I like. This is a show that put me where I am today. This show gave me every opportunity in the world.” Clay dismissed the hopeful, who remarked, “You just don’t know real talent, honey.” Clay retorted, “Honey, trust me.”
American Idol airs Wednesdays and Thursday at 8 pm on FOX.
