+Dayane Rodrigues (Neon Nyan) Haha the only reason I've ever watched American Idol because a friend turned it on when they had the shitty auditions, and he's like, "Dude, this is the best part...it's the first auditions and they're fucking hilariously terrible." And he was right. The competition and drama sucks, but the bad auditions are fucking great.
+Putthatinur Pipe That's not a fair comparison to make. People who went on this show knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. You make a choice to go on one of the highest rated shows in the country and make a fool of yourself....well, then people are going to laugh.
Not just singing… he’s dancing like a flamer, and snapping his lips and tongue like a toad… like this guy is the Chris Chan of American Idol, someone you can’t believe is real.
@@DethMetchFyreByrd He went for a second audition a long time later and he wasn't like this Keith. He was either trolling the judges here or paid by the show.
The nasal snorting , hand gestures and dance moves were unforgettable, as were the reaction of the judges , as was the follow up reaction by Keith and walk of shame, with followup with Ryan. Hilarious - to a perfection.
I think he has Aspergers. Seems to have that on the spectrum look in his eyes and seems easily taken in by people and their "opinions". Those guys who got him to go on the show are clearly not his friends and were taking the piss. Yeah it was funny but I feel pretty bad for him at the same time. Very nasty thing to do.
I dont even watch shows like this anymore but this one in unforgettable He was more entertaining to me than someone who can sing. Its not always about talent.
@@egorzimowski3505, no. LOL! We laughed AT him. It was cute & funny when the judge next to Simon (I forgot his name) was silently covering his face with the paper.
He’s 19 homosexual and very much in the closet. He probably sang in front of maybe 1 overweight female who lied to him. Poor kid thought this was his ticket to be accepted as a homosexual. It was the early 2000s, so there you go.
@@timmylong833 There's an interview with Keith years later and he's a little less weird. I still think the whole thing was him trolling the judges, see what you think after seeing his "normal" interview.
Matt, are you aware this guy pranked and trolled the whole show??? He made a video years later admitting it was a prank in fact he was SHOCKED nobody could his audition was a prank lol
He came back 11 years later and rapped “baby got back” by sir mixalot and the entire crowd went crazy for him and three of the judges were up dancing and he got four yes’s. Dead ass😭😭
I love how Randy was almost hopeful that a song change might help, & then it actually got worse in the exact same tempo, style, and ultra-nasal tone. 😂
Believe it or not, this guy actually auditioned in front of Simon again 10 years later on X-Factor. As a rapper singing "Baby Got Back". He actually got REALLY good. It's actually really inspiring seeing how he changed between American Idol and X-Factor. Like.... whoa. Kudos.
Keith: *starts singing* Randy: *hides laugh behind papers* Simon: *tells Keith to sing other song* Randy: *puts down papers* "Oh!" Keith: *starts singing* Randy: *picks papers back up*
Years later he rapped on America’s got talent/ America’s X factor (I don’t remember which) and got a yes from Simon and the other three judges. So honestly good for this guy.
I knew Simon was going to say the dude is worst singer ever. I was about to comment "Simon wait 'til you hear me singing" .Then I heard the guy sing and I was like nope.
He sang like a virgin, alright.
Hahaha 😂👏👏
+Ian Downey lmaoo
+MrJedabak haircut like a virgin too. i think that haircut is actually called the virgin, half mullet half bowl.
+Jimmy Neutron he came back the x factor
Ik I saw that he got 4 yeses
Simon was lowkey petty as hell for having him sing another song, just to get a few more laughs lmfao
Mr C2 I'm betting the producers nudged Simon to do that.
You do know that the show's primary purpose is to entertain? Just checking...

Have you watched Ian Benardo? He's hilarious too
😂😂😂😂😂💀
Have u seen Ian Bernardo? I don’t laugh that much and I did with his performance and casting
I dont even watch shows like this anymore but this one in unforgettable

This and the She Bangs audition are my 2 favourite bad ones of all time.

This audition is unforgettable 😂👌🏼
That's what worries me.

Love that part. hahaha

This Keith character is a legend in his own mind !!
i have 3 questions.
1. wtf is going on with his tongue throughout the whole video?
2. this cant be real...is it?
3. does he actually think he is good?
Just imagine what psychologists and psychotherapists have to go through in their daily routine.
He participated X factor global check it out. He has improved his skills a lot. I am not joking he sings great now.
All the questions were answered in the video you autistic turd.
People like that are paid actors don’t worry but I’m not surprised if it’s real because there are really weird people out there
