American Idol Season 4 Episode 5

Idol 2005 This show included one of my favourite contestants Anthony fedorov

[@nyssarawther2275]

My heart melted when LL Cool J hugged Sarah Sue Kelly. She was such a cool girl and he was really sweet to her ❤❤

[@tiffanymnunm]

Simon’s facial expressions always have me dying lol

[@m1586]

@Tiffany Nunn. I totally agree. I'd also add Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.😎🙋‍♀️

[@cynthiahusband106]

LL Cool such a gentle soul -blown away hugging the woman that sang My Fair Lady he rushed to her and gave her such a beautiful hug what a handsome great guy!!!!

[@rebeccabridges7210]

LL brought so much love to this season made the other judges show more love and honesty

[@carolprice1389]

You are so wright.

[@cynthiahusband106]

LL is so sweet , how refreshing , love him , and he’s a super hot guy!!!!!! Actually handsome as hell. Hugging the heavy girl that sang My Fair Lady, want a gentleman!!!!! He’s handsome!!!!!! As hell too!!!!!!!!!

[@maria7689]

I loved LL❤

[@maria7689]

So, she comes to a singing competition as a Mime?? Give me a break, please.

[@tarashelton493]

LL cool J is a good guy. He hates to hurt anyone’s feelings. Never thought he would be that amazing of a person.

[@sasukeuchiha8801]

He's a cool guy like me 😏

[@KeshaIsSaved]

Cool j so cool 😎

[@user-pq2nv7lt8n]

why not?

[@bugger490]

LL cool J is so sweet. I would love to give him a big hug.

[@sasukeuchiha8801]

Why not settle with me 😏

[@myaanolover]

The second lady has a great voice for Disney princess and prince voice over job.

[@mx.menacing]

Agreed, it's very classical and opera-like like the older Disney princesses.

[@traceyhateley3925]

LL COOL WHAT A GUY ! so gentle towards her ❤

[@sandramarcotte631]

I felt so bad when Simon made that comment about her looks. SMH

[@swissuz]

Why just Disney. That's so limited. She could do voiceovers anywhere. Even in foreign countries that need someone to read the English translation for Engish outlets. And for voices like "Siri" or the internet...the potential is unlimited.

[@swissuz]

@@sandramarcotte631 he was right, to be honest. He said what the whole panel was thinking. They didn't deny it. That's what I like about Simon. She has a gift and can do many things. And she's blessed to be extremely intelligent and could make that happen. I wish we could find out how she is. I think she's beautiful.

[@vijayv6836]

Ok I agree with Simon. The glamor industry judges by the looks. Cruel reality

[@kishannaconandoyle1907]

Thank God, in 2009 Susan Boyle has changed it. She didn't get the right look, she was over aged but she had a beatiful voice. People did like her immediately! 😊

[@melasoomarie952]

LL cool j, you are a good guy

[@mommywithnokidsss]

Scott is SUCH a good singer!! He sings with such soul and real passion. I love him. If I was a record label owner, I'd be getting him signed, trained up, a little slimmer, stronger, healthier diet, because healthy diet helps so much with a healthy mind. And I'd help him generate more self esteem!! I'd give him so much help and confidence, cause he was amazing, naturally.

[@kindlyoffer1350]

"Hey mate" "Yeah mate" "Go on American Idol, sing horribly, throw a huge fit when the judges say you can't sing, get on the tv show and I'll give you $100" "Alright mate"

Yo LL COOL J is such a nice guy!! I think my favourite guest judje wow so cool and humble

[@andyanderson100]

LLCoolJ seems like a fantastic person

I just got a new respect for LL Cool J

[@jenniferking7548]

Bikerbish same I thought it was great what he did for that girl. I felt bad for her.

[@MelinWisconsin]

I agree with you Bikerbish

[@mommywithnokidsss]

Bri with the blue hair is amazing!! I'd love to hear her sing a different genre too!

[@angelmushahf]

I hope Scott is doing well in life. What a voice.

[@carolprice1389]

He can sing I just don't like the song.wrong song is what I think.

[@gabrioxxx]

The girl who sang the My Fair Lady song was such a sweet adorable person, and Simon unfortunately had to tell her the truth. Nervetheless she graciously accepted reality with such poise and dignity for an eighteen year old girl. Lots of luck to her.

[@doxholiday1372]

18? I wish I was that mature and capable of handling criticism at 18. Hats off to her.

[@cynthiahusband106]

Love L L Cool what a gentleman ! Hugged the 2nd girl that didn’t make it , jumped out of his seat cause he knew she was in pain , the rest of the judges followed. Beautiful just beautiful!

[@swissuz]

Her name is Sarah Sue Kelly, and she was magnificent! The sad truth rears its ugly head again. Simon was thankfully not challenged by Randy and he spoke to her in a reasonable tone not influenced by the others. I wish he could find that place more often. And good for LL Cool to stand up and help take the sting out of the situation...at least in the moment. She seemed to handle it well, but we can never know what happens in private. I hope she had talent scouts calling her to do voiceovers and song dubbing. Her voice was exceptional. It's our loss as well! She is the American version of Susan Boyle.

2024. 19 years have gone 😊

[@spleenforsoul]

​@kishannaconandoyle1907 I know it's crazy. I remember watching these live. Even the 1st season I watched live. I remember voting on episodes. I remember my dad saying, "that better be free!"...you know to vote. Where's the damn time gone?!

Amen Sara, show them what a class act you are and be a better person in the end.

"Im 1952, about the time, Simon was a teenager" lmao

I kept going back to hear that and I'm,like, I want born in 52 and I'm older than Simon

[@jpbdude4223]

Simon wasn’t born lol

[@logicdiary3179]

I wish they would ban Whitney Houson songs from these competitions. Everyone does them and many do them poorly. It's getting exhausting to listen to

[@kineetrabrewer9604]

I thought the same thing... Ugh

[@liz3424]

I agree there was only 1 whitney but everyone deserves the chance to try a whitney song

[@chasity7090]

The only person who can sing songs good is the original person.

[@secretstarlight8883]

I agree

[@MelinWisconsin]

Logicdiary317 and Mariah Carey

[@chriscoyne9717]

Poor Sarah Sue Kelley! Very talented stage singer lol

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

I love Simon, he understands "The Industry" and that it's not about "Art". He has to be honest, which is too bad.

[@dnicety3964]

Lisette Elise Paris i agree

[@richardtabor4405]

Lisette Elise Paris ..simon id a evil pig making fun of people he can't even sing why the fuck is he judging anyone

[@teariet.tekken-wolffenn5881]

That's why I love him. He has no filter.

[@danniflood812]

Lisette Elise Paris well put. Its his job and he's the most qualified to hold that position. Knows his shot!

[@danniflood812]

Shit

[@RoreyBefellows]

I respect Simon for telling that girl the truth

[@StrawberryJam806]

Dear God LL Cool J is so fine

[@MZ412BABY]

Luxe Honey Girl tawk bout it!!!!

[@mabelsue123]

Luxe Honey mmmmm yes he is 😏😛

[@casperjullian9904]

I'd watch Sarah Sue. I like the idea of stars looking different. Different is cool and fun and opens doors for endless creativity. You see a hot girl on stage and know what to expect. You get a unique person and get to be surprised by how they can display what makes them truly beautiful. But tbh to ME PERSONALLY her voice would be better for theatre, broadway, disney type things.

[@margaretdasilva5493]

LL is so nice to people.

[@anammuniz7259]

Aww the group hug so nice..❤❤❤😁😘😃😄

[@cazpk6840]

Paula is such a sweetheart with a heart of gold xo

@The Saint. I agree LL is 'real' and gorgeous too😎

[@maxinebruno78]

That mime had me in stichesssss...omg...

[@tatyanarolle]

That was funny Simon is a mess🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AnnieBornAgain]

I love to sing but my nephews made me promise i wouldn't try of the xfactor because bless there hearts they said "they'll try to change you and how you look, then you won't be our Annie" omg my heart melted, although i did try for BGT twice first time didn't get through, second time had a call back but couldn't go because i'd had a stroke !!! but i will say the day was a great experience in the welsh capital although it was Freezing, it was so cold they had to open the doors early because it was below health and safety temperatures to leave people out on the street lol,

[@carolprice1389]

Wow my mother had one when she turned 40 years old and I was 13 year's old.

[@mikemalloy2431]

Warmed my heart strings.

[@putinthegreatone1055]

I remember Simon saying that it is a looks industry, he said some yrs later that it shouldn't be, it's who deserves to win.... Susan Boyle, Paul Potts etc etc etc etc

[@doxholiday1372]

Susan Boyle and Paul Potts success happened on Britain's Got Talent, which isn't based on finding new Pop singers, it's actually just a talent show. Unlike Idol and X-Factor.

[@Shastasnow]

That was a different contest. Sara may have done better in x-factory. She should have taken their advice and came back. That girl has so much she needs to work on if she thinks she can be a pop star.

[@sarahhaunaniwaeyenbergh8811]

I liked Sarah Sue Kelly, the second contestant. All the judges keep saying she has a good voice, yet they didn't put her through to Hollywood. American Idol is about a good singing voice which Sarah has, not how she looks.

[@sandralyn5869]

I loved how she stayed so positive

[@eh-i1841]

She had a very nice voice.I hope she’s still enjoying her life.Great lady.

[@doxholiday1372]

No, American Idol is about finding new Pop stars. America's Got Talent was about showcasing singular talents. Idols need the whole package.

[@yaboilink2359]

I clicked because of the thumbnail. 🤣

[@tatyanarolle]

Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ericcesolitude7385]

Ll cool was a cool judge Forreal on 20:38 he was hesitating to tell the girl no , he hate that he had to burst her feelings

[@dianefarley37]

Bree was amazing!! She gave me goosebumps.

[@naomieutsey2745]

When Simon said, “I’ll give you 3 out of 4” I spit out my coffee. 🤣 I liked his voice.

[@carolprice1389]

Not this time.

[@capatga]

Whitney, Mariah or Celine should be banned from the competition .

[@MrAllysonn]

Oh yes !!!

[@22ergie]

all of this is for naught, the joy the tears, even the auditions when typically, we never heard from any of these people ever again...

[@sirbuffalo]

SmutnaJules007 rychwalska You're absolutely right. It's nothing but simple entertainment for the viewers. None of these people will ever get what they expect.

[@MissyRose94]

I felt bad for the second girl. I've honestly considered trying out for one of these talent shows for years. I love to sing, and I think I would have a decent chance of getting through the audition at least. But I'm afraid my weight might put them off.

[@pepzizi]

You should do it regardless to what you look like !

[@doxholiday1372]

​@@pepzizi No, she should get into kickboxing or some other martial art, get a gym membership, and run, swim, hike those pounds off. Then audition. Not only would she look far better, she'd exude authentic confidence.

[@Shastasnow]

I really hope she does some water aerobics or something active so she has a longer life. She has a nice face. I want to say poor girl but she seems happy with how she is.

[@MissyRose94]

​@@doxholiday1372 I would love to do all that, but I'm low income and a single parent of 2, one who is special needs. Between the 2 kids and 2 cats, I run out of time and money pretty quickly. I also have chronic health issues that unfortunately cause me physical pain if I overdo it on physical activity. And over doing it, for me, can be something as simple as just standing for too long in one day. I'm not going to get into the whole story of how I gained all the weight, just that it took a long time to get to a place where I could mentally make better choices for myself when it came to diet, and by that point my body was already done and had started to give up. I've been steadily losing weight over the last 2 years though, and I am getting healthier, but I can't put in the kind of work I would need to in order to drop the kind of weight I would need to lose as fast as I would need to lose it. I physically, financially, and mentally would be unable to handle it.

[@elsvaughn7959]

​@MissyRose94 fuck that guy, it was 5yrs ago anyway... BUT, if you would like to do that maybe you could just start doing stuff at home at either the beginning or end of the day. I've always been an athlete, but I've stopped really working out, and even without gaining weight, it's crazy how much I miss it. I'm sure you'd feel more ready to take on ur day to day! ❤

[@Katieclaireh]

This episode was where I first fell in love with Anthony Fedorov. He was my favorite contestant on the show. I voted for him every night.

[@jamescoppolino9144]

LL is so sweet

[@l.b.2592]

2nd singer should do Broadway and they should have kept LL as a judge a bit longer. The big sisters: If u r a big person u better be spectacular. To think otherwise is delusional. I ❤️ how they gave the one girl a group hug though. Florida is a hell no @28:50

[@gerynunez]

Broadway for sure

[@theartistsuave]

Not really , but he was an ok host I guess , we just got used to seeing him so much in the tv show . It's becoming a normal part of watching the show

I like many of the hosts even in x-factor. They always a highlight. Ryan can be a little passive aggressive at times

Let's be honest. The 2nd girl couldn't be a POP star. Pop stars have to have a certain look and style. That's just what it is. She could sing. Go to Broadway.

I think Vonzell is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard on this show, I think the best I’ve ever heard period. Her pitch is so on point that it sounds autotuned. She should’ve won the show. How the judges weren’t more impressed is beyond me

[@c0br41]

Sarah can better try at Americans get talent. Idols is also about the looks.

[@carolprice1389]

[@jasmineh3587]

I liked Sara

[@vijayv6836]

Jaqulene touched me. Her tears

[@sirbuffalo]

First of all, LL is a beautiful soul. I always respected him, but my respect just went through the roof after his classy and kind attitude towards Sarah and Scott. By the way, I know Simon is being honest. I will never hold it against him, BUT maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd rather see someone original and unattractive, than yet another boring cookie cutter celebrity like Britney. Nothing against her, but it's so predictable. If I want to look at beautiful people, I'll open a magazine like Vogue or Elle. I don't need my favorite singers to be attractive. I want them to be talented and original. Plus personality is more important. Sarah was a sweetheart and I stopped noticing her looks by the time she was done. Scott was a cutie and I found his talent and confidence sexy. Not everything is about looks. Charisma goes a long way.

[@doxholiday1372]

I have to disagree, Britney not only oozes talent, she worked hard honing her craft since she was a small child, and let's face it, not many females are flawlessly cute, amazingly physically fit, and sexy...And can sing, dance, and choreograph at a professional level. She had the whole package, there's nothing cookie cutter about that at all. And this is from someone who never liked her music.

[@Wormz101]

8:37 this guy is a legend🤧👏💕

[@carolc6795]

Scott's mom made my unexpectedly tear up and I'm not an emotional person at all. I guess it's because out of his parents, it's clear she had always been his cheerleader and believed in him.
