American Idol 2008 James Lewis

Apparently Simon is not the mean one.

OMG, that big man standing there howling like a whale!

Bless his heart, I hope he received singing lessons.

🎉🎉🎉

🐴🐴🐴 HORSE 🐴🐴🐴

LMFAO, nice guy but he definitely can not sing.

He's so genuine.

I’ve seen this several times and I’m still crying. 🤣🤣🤣

He sounds like downs syndrome child

I’m surprised Simon did not laugh but I do feel bad the fact he was dressed so nice and Randy and Paula laughed but it was funny🥺

I remember when I first saw this on my thoughts was maybe he's not a good regular singer but will do better as a

why man why

Let muh p'ple goooooooooooooo

Here’s the lyrics i heard:

Wind is blowing, it is to blame
Let my people gooooooooooo!
Her breath so hot, they could not stand
Let my people goooooooooooo!
Go down Moses! There is a plague!
And say pharaoh pharaoh
Let my people goooooooooo!

Sunday morning, when this life is over
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I win!

His co workers are the one's that told him to try out for this show because he was a good singer. They set him up

Randy is fn dyin…He’s inconsolable lmao…And Paula.. Will never get old..And all you crybaby’s he was there to be judged..SOMEONE needed to tell this poor guy the truth , He learned a harsh lesson about the music biz…Oh no did his feelings get hurt ? nope can’t have that cause we live in fucking imaginary land now like a bunch of ret@rds

I love his Ruddy skin

RET MAH PEEPO GAAAAOOOUUUUWWWW 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️

Paula lost it from the beginning 😂😭😂

He needs debbie to throw some water on him 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Letmypipollll goooooo

At least they apologized because the guy really does seem like a nice fella. Just a sweet man that thinks he can sing.

It sounds like he has a bad head cold.

You know what, he's a good guy. The judges were honest. They laughed, but they apologized and James just took it like a man. He didn't have a childish temper tantrum like a lot of the other contestants did 🤣

I’m tearing up and my abs hurt.

Judges: 🤣🤭🤔
James:👁️👄👁️

He seems like a very nice guy ❤❤

His mates are so cruel for telling him to go on the show, bless him he seems like a really nice guy.

The double down was a bold move 😂 and the copium of him acting like he didnt get through cuz he sang older christian songs and not contemporary music. Come on James

it's wild to me that he thinks his only problem was that he picked a religious song

Poor guy. He seemed genuinely hurt. But they're right. Singing is not his thing.

Pharaoh: Fine! I'll let them go! Just never make that sound ever again!

Who’s here Jan 2025… I feel for the guy who just realized all his friends and family who enabled him to do this are to blame… but at the same time… no sympathy and PML at the same time

LET MY PEEEPPOOOOLL GOOOOOOOOOO!

Somebody said he sound like a down syndrome disciple 😂

Reminds me of Harriet Tubman.

I feel bad for the next few contestants in case the judges accidentally let out a laugh while still thinking of James just before.

This is when American Idol was actually fun to watch. Auditions like this. Simon being Simon.

Sounds like when your batteries start to go on your ghetto blaster tapedeck back in the day.

I press so hot, they could not stand 😂😂😂😂

James, seriously? 😬

Hahahahahaa

Greatest moment in American TV history

...

First saw this when I was 7, now I’m 24, two years older than him 🥹 he seems like a nice guy i hope he’s doing well

Funniest one ever this

Randy first look like wtf 😂😂

I can’t stop laughing when Randy tries to hide that he’s laughing behind the paper😂

If his singing career doesn't work out has one as a standup comic. 😂😂😂😂
