AMERICAN IDOL IS NOT SCREAMO FRIENDLY

 Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 at 4:35pm by

I’d seen this clip of some brat whose highest aspiration in life is to be in Attack Attack! once before, but completely forgot about it until MetalSucks Maniac Daisy May Tinklepants reminded me.

Not only does this kid suck, but you have to wonder what in the fucking fuck he thought was going to happen here. Is there any world in which anything even remotely resembling screaming would do well on American Idol? Did he think winning would up his street cred? The simple fact that he tried out means that no respectable band in the world should ever want to work with him, ever, under any circumstances.

Simon and Paula and the other one are still massive tools, but give credit to this dude for making them look good.

    Kid listens to too Much Attack Attack and Atreyu.

    I showed this video to a friend and he goes, “His actual singing voice was good, they could have passed him if he just sang and didn’t scream.”

    I don’t talk to that friend anymore.

    Ya know, it would be interesting to see someone go on there and sing like fucking Rob Halford or something. Would they really say they lacked the talent to be on the show?

      Simon would rip them apart. Sorry no real metal singers could make it on a show like American Idiot.

  • You Don’t Know Me

    Dude wasn’t even that good at screaming either. He sounded like he got the wind knocked out of him and was gasping for air. I have nothing against screaming/growling vocals, but what kind of retard do you have to be to think that you have a chance of making it onto American Idol doing that shit? It was funny seeing the judges making fun of him too.

  • John

    He’s inhale screaming Silverstein songs. lol

  • bearwizard

    that saddest part for me is that he might someday have children….

  • terrybeans84

  • canea

    It’s good to express yourself.

    It’s also good not to make an asshat out of yourself by chosing unwinnable battles.

  • Charlie B

    On the flip side if someone tried to sing like your typical Metalcore, Deathcore, mallcore, they would be booed off the stage.

  • Justin

    He sounded like a retarded terridactol.

  • Ryd1ZZ

    “I did it…I’ve done it…I fuckin did it.
    The most powerful tool in singing technology since yodeling, dude. Oh, my god, inward singing!”

    • Canvas Of Flesh

      That’s exactly what I was thinking when I heard it.

  • Ziltoid

    I don’t care how awful American Idol is, Randy Jackson was fucking hysterical at 0:42 when he mocked the scene kiddie’s inhale vocals.

    • jackattack

  • bretton
