Ouch, Simon! Is that what happened this year? I haven’t been watching.

Oh my God, if I have to hear one of the judges say “pitchy” one more time, I’m throwing my TV out the window! You’ve perfectly captured them here, and great last line.
LoA

Oh, I just realized by looking at your tags that this is meant to be Whitney Houston trying out for American Idol, sort of a hilarious “What if…?” kind of thing. Like BARomero, I was left wondering, did I miss that episode?

Yes, I put Houston in the title and saved Whitney for the very end, but figured the mystery would be settled by the tags.

Totally, a what if Whitney Houston tried out for Idol story. (Because every time a contestant sings Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey or Celene Dion the judges castigate them for it).

So, I thought what if one of those performers was being judged while singing one of their own songs. :)

They’d probably be ripped to shreds. Just once I’d like to hear one of the judges sing, especially Simon. But can you imagine Randy?

“Yo. All right, all right, you know what? I’m kinda thinking… This is pretty pitchy… Yo.”

I mean, the guy has like five stock phrases. My old Teddy Ruxpin doll had more range than he does.

lol ana thats funny about teddy Ruxpin.. I like this story.. You totally captured the essence that is american idol. Especially Randy and Paula. I could almost hear Simons brittish accent.. I wonder what they would say if Amy lee from Evanesence auditioned. She has one of the most beautiful voices in existence. Far better than Mariah or Whitney. Imho

LOL about the Teddy Ruxpin comment! I think Randy (and not for any racial stereotyping reasons to be clear) could be a rapper. I mean, Li’l John has more range than him. What!? Okay!!! (Or is that just Chappelle’s impersonation of him?)

And, Celestic, I also love Evanescence. Amy Lee is absolutely brilliant.

Haha you captured each of them spot on. Paula rather than look dreamy looks high. Simon .. love the trapeze line.. lol and Dawg I’m feeling this send of of Modern pop culture. What no Seacrest? Out.
LoA

I really wanted to get a Seacrest Out, but the character limit put an end to that. Maybe a sequel can finish the scene?

Ah! That it was Whitney Houston slipped by me on the first read-through. A great sequel for this might be her exit interview and reaction in the confessionals….
