James Lewis American Idol 2008

[str567z]

I kinda feel bad for this man. He seems like a nice guy. The judges could be alittle bit more respectful. Honesty I think he was almost trying to hard to sing deep. He has potential, atleast I think so.

[SaraAnnLyons1132]

I rember this onee...

[DjTowotDjWania]

zdziwko go nieźle jebło

[CenaBarca1]

[itried2dohandstnds4u]

Awww poor guy, we all feel bad for him. I like how Simon kept it together lol

[chaebreannak]

Paula's face at 1:54!

[chaebreannak]

His face after 0:56 is so sad. I could cry.

[sthrnspice81]

He proably sounds better than you so shutup!

[moshepipit]

let my pimple grooooooow

[SlideSity]

He works as a tour guide, and his profile seems to make out that he's happy and gets to interact and talk with people a lot, so his life is probably going much better

[dontbotherreading]

i feel bad for em'

[steetsey]

Damn, I love this guy!

[hobomonkey23]

to all the people who say he is a shitty singer u guys r fucked up like really atleast he has big enough balls to go out there and sing but personaly i think it was alittle funny but he gave such a good performance i aplaude him and i bet u dicks cant sing shit either so fuck u people

[omoshawa]

@hobomonkey23 to all u noobs who have problems saying he's a shitty singer u guys need to grow up. if we wanna say "he's a shitty singer" we have a right too. it;s our opinion, i dont need your permission or your "comment pending approval" and personally i get that he had the guts that show fortitude. dicks? lets not forget there are women on the internet. and yes i can sing. fuck us people? for what stating our opinion? im american i have "Freedom of speech",whats fucked is none.

[riktom15]

wtf it just a way of singing, it wasn 't bad at all.

[KerreSmilez]

Thumbs up if you think he says PEOPLE really weird lmao

[p213516]

[hetdug]

LET MY PIMPLE GROWWWW

[realityfrominsanity]

best audition ever

[Terrell8976]

judges just make him feel bad

[Terrell8976]

Why didn't anyone tell him he sounded like that? I feel sorry for him. How can his regular voice be like that? and then his sining voice be completely opposite? tell your brain its ok to laugh or something, geeze, thats kind of rude. and when you tell your brain that you can't laugh, every little thing will make you laugh.

[josipmickovic]

they should employ somebody to hold and hug these pretty ones :D

[AjBlog100]

Aw, They We Laughing...I Was Sad For Him

[Turquoise278]

I feel so bad for him, my heart was like slowly deflating, did you see his face? He obviously really thought he was good, and they LAUGHED, he tried his hardest. Ugh, my heart feels like someone ran over it :(

[fantasticalfashions]

Let My Pimple Growwww

[blacknbeatiful]

some people are born to sing but he is not one

[hansonis27]

This show is so cruel!

[FunFacta]

what the hell happened to this guy..when god blessed him with good features was he cursed with a singing voice with a cow in the meadows?

[MrJakethebaker420]

i feel bad for him. imean look at his sad face!

[Blackky37]

Thats Fucked Up . -,-

[AquamanFan2000]

This guy should've won

[Christofafer]

Who's making a whale cry?

[CaptainOats74]

aww I felt bad for him but yeah that was bad singing

[subflub]

Would you like me sing something e-NO!

[justin94819]

he looks like a retard

[reaggacashtro801]

I actualy liked how he was singing it was sad how he looked :*(

[doomkid1331]

DAT SOUNDED LIKE A BEAR INNA ROID RAGE

[Jme1095]

I feel so bad for him. Look at his face. :/

[NASIMNASIM]

@Jme1095 The guy is obviously a troll...He talks and acts normal...and all of a sudden starts singing like a complete retard...

[legocastle23]

Yo everyone thanks 4 supporting this guy u guys arent trolls i like that so for all of u i think u

_james white

[mosshunter23]

he just sang a bit to deep and blends his words together into one Das all

[DarthRane113]

@mosshunter23 mmmmmm no no no no no. Don't excuse his inability to sing for anything other than that his INABILITY to sing. "to utter words or sounds in succession with musical modulations of the voice; vocalize melodically." "to produce melodious sounds, usually high in pitch, as certain birds, insects," those are the definitions for sing and neither of those match what he just did I would say what he just did

[mosshunter23]

@DarthRane113 i guess.

[justgames123]

i feel so sorry for him

[cherrybaby2225]

I guess Im going to hell.

Poor guy.

[MrsD7777]

ROTFL!!!!@Randy & Paula dying! Who set that poor dude up like that? *lol*

I Love how Randy always tries to hide behind his papers, but we can still hear him laughing!!!

[MrBlackOps291]

i love how he compares his vocal style to Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, when he sounds nothing like him

[lilsk8terboy557]

i swear at the end someone farted

[huntingirl223]

I wonder if simon has ever swallowed a pen...

[tyo789]

damn....just damn



[sanahe2000]

LET MY PEOPLE GOOOOOOOO .. 

[froggyfroger1]

When he says "Let my people go" it sounds like he's saying "Responsible girl"

[Chevellefan01]

POOR JAMES!!! D:

[m00nshine2004]

FUCKING DISGRACE!!! How long are we going to let people get away with this? Ultra rich people getting their kicks watching people make fools of themselves. The panel don't audition 500,000 people you know. This poor bloke passed at least 3 auditions to get to this point so he could be set up for national humiliation. THIS SHIT HAS TO STOP!!!

[curvousblackwoman84]

@m00nshine2004 Boo Hoo!!!! U know u laughed when u saw this!!!!

[m00nshine2004]

@curvousblackwoman84

no

[TheAsswipes69]

@curvousblackwoman84 no.... just no

[jordyds]

I Cant Believe im Crying !!! ... This makes me feel so bad :(

[koala76er]

omg I feel horrible for this guy..I mean I laughed but if I was actually there I would just feel bad and not be laughing..he obviously has something wrong..I feel so bad for laughing but I couldn't help it.

[WrathPivz]

He's voice sounds like a long painful fart...

[Spitfire608]

to be honest he would have a good opra voice if

[Spitfire608]

my god i feel bad at least he tried

[iSKATEcall911]

is he yawning?

[rgonzalez97]

FUCK OFF JUDGES GODAMN! POOR GUY! THIS GUY IS SINGING AND THESE FUCKERS ARE LAUGHING THERE ASSES OFF FUCK YOU GUYS!! JAMES FTW!!

[SuperTarget007]

Would u like me to sing something else ? - NO ! ... funny, but sad : /

[marfg12345]

let my people GOOOOOO

[PandaChick21]

Not going to lie, I did laugh...But seriously, who the hell tells him that he's a good singer? Why not just be honest with him?? This guy obviously went there and tried his best. I give him a lot of credit because there are people who wouldn't dream of going on that show. He seems like a really nice person and I hope he is doing well.

[KRRYDER]

To everybody saying he's retarded you are so ignorant.The song he's trying to sing is sung by a guy with a deep voice.Look up "Let My People Go"by Paul Robeson.

[theatlantisrise]

Let his PI-pul go!

[DAtNizzaYOuKnOw]

DAMN YOU KNOW ITS BAD WHEN SiMON DOESN'T COMMENT !! I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR TRYING THO

[ayhr86]

dont these people have friends??

[thetruthnthelight]

maybe opera?

[LordScalgon]

Is it just me or do I have the habit of humming to how he sings?

[riverplate0101]

He seems handicapped if you look closely at him when he leaves. Mentally challenged in some way. Also the fact that he can't self audit. He really thinks he can sing. When he obviously cannot.

[ilovegymnastics436]

I feel really bad for him. i would've voted for him :(

[cronicd21]

um, his black, shouldn't he be rapping?

[sweetbutdaring]

@cronicd21 racist

[toontownwiz2]

What the heck was he even singing?

[MATTGILLISPIE]

He Know He Wrong For That!

[SAsportsdude3]

at least simon wasnt the mean one this time.i felt sorry for that dude.

[TheNewNewfie]

Yeah, he couldn't sing, but I feel so bad for him after he's done and they're laughing. He looks so sad.

[GreenEyeCinema]

He's better than Ian Benardo

[81animallover]

How is Simon able to keep a straight face during these auditions?I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

[JorJorArmany]

randy start to cover his face from 0:50 to 1:31,as soon as he take down the paper he start sing agn...XD! haha

[JorJorArmany]

i actually laugh just bcoz the judges reaction especially randy XDD

[heidos7]

Ok the guy can't sing but they don't have to laugh so much. I always thought Simon was the worst, but Paula and Randy are actually a lot worse than him!

[MrFalconford]

The judges wouldn't understand what he was trying to do. That's why they laughed at him. It's a prayer and didn't need the hollywood recipe for success. That's what you get when you try to educate the people sitting in judgement. They think it's just entertainment.

[Mxteries]

It's funny, I do feel bad for him but he does sound pretty good to me :p

[lildondill]

why is he staring like he doesnt know what is going on?

[laurenluffskendra]

let my pipple go ... !

[loveus55]

those judges are assholes, i feel so bad for him. they just kept laughing after he was done and he looked so crushed.

[MrBassakos]

is he in slow motion?

 hahahahahahahahahaha

[kangourAXS]

he has hot potato voice! maybe he has to see an ENT....

[SiddhantS93]

that is just terrible. i didnt laugh at all, and i feel so bad for the guy. he looked so befuddled the entire time

[Suuperman5461]

I bet this dude is the nicest man in the world but I've heard deaf people sing better.

[TheJOEYSANDERS]

@Suuperman5461 wow thats funny!!! lol

[Zh1r]

let my pimple go?

[snels66]

[emmabunnyluvsfis4eva]

[philipcbrunner]

ppooorrr guy. holy sh**

[creditcard24]

his facial expression at 0:58 looks like he farted but i feel bad for him even though its funny

[kreaper17]

Why did they have to laugh?his dreams seemed so crushed or at least his face...i feel sorry for him

[Crokodyl]

i feel sorry... i feel sorry --- blablabla Yes I FEEL SORRY but if they would show me this before I would have to die, this would be a fu-k--- funny death!!!! and if I got to go to Hell!!! let it be!!!

[xxmrktgrlxx]

[Acidic303]

Let my pi-pple goeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!

[ffhawk27]

awww i feel really sorry for him...even though this is hilarious....

[illusion11051995]

i feel really sorry for him

[96bigboss]

@illusion11051995 me too

[misslee10]

@illusion11051995 why? he put himself out there like that! lol

[emmaloo543]

I feel bad fer him!!! but it was funny haha

[dlyras]

Would you like me to sing something el...? Simon: No. LOL

[PenguinBoyProduction]

you can tell he has some mental disability though which made me not laugh as hard.

[tigersroar1010]

IM GONNA CRY!!!

[Tactic11]

I really feel bad for him. I think he could have aspbergers (However you spell it). I can't believe people would actually tell him he was a good singer, nor allow him to go to American Idol. I laughed, but I also feel bad. I wouldn't have laughed if I was there in person, cause there is obviously something wrong with him even if he talks normally. And he just looks crushed when they're laughing.

[7topCelebrityzCollab]

@Tactic11 (aspergers) lol, but what makes you think that? He doesn't seem to have a problem with eye contact or anything...

[goraiders62]

hahahahahahhhhahahahhaha im diein

[rastogi1979]

thtas wasfunny so

[hawelan2]

that was so sad i felt so bad

[cheesymoons98]

He just died a little inside, I feel so sorry for him. But I like the way that Paula and Randy apologise for laughing, they kept it under control better than I could've. I would've been on the floor pissing myself, gosh Paula's laugh makes me laugh. *Snort, snort*

[mcbrownsugar]

At what point does his family step in and not allow him 2 make a fool of himself? WTF?

[musiclovers51]

oh god:)he is so sad:0

[gabocrbll]

i laugh because randy and paula laugh.... poor guy man.. but he really cant sing

[MrzMarz0]

@gabocrbll I no lol! :P

[oropeza415]

its sad but the outfit and his haircut is nice ya same here the look on his face when they sais hes not a good singer was very tragic

[buttacudawey]

oh lord, i need my puffer....ha ha hahaa ha ha ha ha ha...lmao...whoever posted dis is wicked...lol..im dyin laughin lol..if i end up in da hospital im suein u...ha ha ha ha ha ha ....lmao....

[Rockonangel101]

I feel kinda bad for this guy.... the look on his face just made me kinda sad

[adamhlava]

the best part is simon, just sitting there

[angels77100]

@iwokeuptojoejonas24 Well yes I know that, and you know that. But I'm not entirely sure that people like Andre know that! So I'm removing all possible doubt in his mind by first erazing all possibilties that he wasn't on American Idol. Which of course he was.

[PenguinBoyProduction]

@angels77100 nigga you be trippin.

[angels77100]

@PenguinBoyProduction Oi! Don't be attempting to give me all that fucking ''gangsta'' shit shit on here. It's about time the United States launched a speach programme in order to bring Americans up to date with the English language. People like this fucking cunt calling himself ''Penguinboy'' can barely write a sentence, let alone comprehend one.

[Yin157]

@angels77100 *Applause* ROFL Tell it like it is, man!! XD

[binmiesta]

crying with laughter lol

[angels77100]

Fake!! I've seen these videos on Youtube before where they edit a ridiculous performance to appear as if it was performed in front of Cowell, Abdul etc. This is so FAKE!!!!!!

[andreikamiKaze]

@angels77100 you're Fake

[angels77100]

@andreikamiKaze I'll bet you my house that this is a fake. I bet if you googled James Lewis appearance on American Idol, all you'll come up with is a youtube clips. The same youtube clips that have been edited and mixed into compilations time and time again. This guy recorded this in a room and edited it to appear as if he'd appeared on American idol. Which he never did.

[basboosa]

@angels77100 u r seriously delusional and messed up!! i suggest u get some help before u go crazy asshole!!! u knw wat u can fucking believe wat u want but this dude was shown on FREAKING TV, whether u accept it or not is ur problem..i feel like such an idiot for replaying to a crazy ass weirdo such as urself!!

[angels77100]

@basboosa I must apologise for my over-emotional responce. I over-reacted and there is no excuse for that. You just keep believing that you actually saw James Lewis on TV. Which you didn't, because you couldn't have. You saw him on youtube. Anyway I'm sorry about what I said earlier.

[basboosa]

@angels77100 dude it was on freakin TV!!! i saw it myself!!
