Anybody rating this under five stars is not my brother.

Oh, fuck that. If Tay Zonday can land advertising deals, Renaldo Lapuz can get a spot on American Idol. He's not that bad a singer, and the costume alone would be enough to get me to finally watch that show.

Also, was that... was he wearing a trash bag as a cape?

I AM YOUR BROTHER KTHORJENSEN

I AM YOUR BROTHER EVILHOMER

Brother Renaldo is so soulful and passionate that he just needs to learn some dance moves, then he can take his place as the new James Brown.

Any contest where this man cannot win is bullshit

He already won. He won all of our hearts.

I love his "Macho Man Randy Savage by way of Liberace" getup so much. I would bow down to him.

Sharp lookin' 44 year old asian man.

I really hope this guy becomes a millionaire.

There's your annoying co-worker's next ring-tone

I AM YOUR BROTHER, RENALDO LAPUZ!

I did notice a couple of bad edits and some spots which sounded pitch-corrected, but god damn he is awesome. And apparently this year 7 of the "complete unknowns" were pre-signed artists who were planted by the producers of the show (as if Jordin Sparks wasn't enough last year). Fuck this show forever.

I also love how the camera crew was quite audibly cracking up towards the end (when Paula was being an attention whore and dancing in front of him).

the new superheavyweight minister of flamboyance.

I need a hat with wings, and I need to be an excitable Filipino man.

Wait, wait, what was the title again?

if the first recorded case of superpowers does NOT manifest itself in this man, what would even be the point

mark my words, brothers, this is not the last we've heard from this man. viral ads and a novelty album WILL be forthcoming.

This is good, but in my opinion, not the best moment of the auditions. That would go to the EDGY AND IN YOUR FACE faux-goth girl who immediately dared them to flunk her, they did, and then she went on a 30 minute tirade about the lack of diversity in American Idol (of all things).

very cruel. america ftw!

I'm gonna sit at the welcome table. I'm gonna sit at the welcome table one of the days. I'm gonna sit at the welcome tay-bul, gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days. I'm gonna sit at the welcome table. I'm gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days. I'm gonna sit at the welcome tay-bul, gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days.

Truth is stranger than fiction. And this clip is the embodiment of that quote.

Aww come on, have you guy not yet decoded all the shittiness of this show, using comedic failures to entertain your feeble minds while promoting fake begginers (studio rejects and/or family members) to an undeserved arranged fame?
It's sad that you need this show to appreciate Renaldo Lapuz...

That man wins American Idol. I don't care who got the money or whatever the hell they're competing for.
