Auditioning for American Idol

[@jonathanbynoe]

Nah this audition is wild 😂😂

[@りょう-Maltese]

😂😂😂

[@tracynorman2322]

dear friend I just started to come across your videos and the 5 or 6 ones I've seen have made me laugh to the very core of my soul blessings.

[@RGHSHOW]

Pump these out good stuff you definitely deserve the success that is coming I know our attention span is short but you will have your success and long views

[@NOBODYATALL1111]

Boy you good! Haven’t missed yet!

[@thecodyrockshow]

I love this guy 😂

[@TheeCharmaine]

🤣🤣🤣 “Stop looking back, why you looking back!” - THE WAY THAT TICKLED ME! 🤣🤣🤣

[@pierredufresne996]

The acting (the expressiveness!), the script, the cinematography, the editing -- all superb!

[@pamking5711]

This dude is excellent with his editing of this skit. Those killer eyes!!

[@TF_Tony]

The acting is actually stellar.

[@Channyb89]

👏🏾🏆

[@sidersproductions941]

That brother family set him up for all the failures!😂😂😂😭

[@tinastardust7793]

I remember that dude during the real American Idol audition..lol..I felt sorry for him. He did not want to give up!!

[@jc_d-i-y-not]

Bruh!! That belt was tightened to the depths of his soul 😂😂😂

[@patriciambougue3901]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I agree

[@christansdad]

That change to the shades was totally uncalled for...I LOVED IT!

[@AGooeyCookie]

Whenever his characters feel “awkward/nervous” and he looks around, it’s always SO perfect 😂😂

[@reginaphilen9725]

Talent.... this guy has the uncanny ability to be YOUNG... MIDDLE AGED...AND OLD with just the addition of glasses to that beautifully expressive face... KEEP CLIMBING!!!

[@corynicolas3175]

I keep forgetting he is playing all the characters.

[@zeromusa8535]

Steve wonder won't be mad about it. Heck, he won't even see it.

[@HazeFrederick]

T_T but he can hear that ish

[@SportZFan4L1fe]

But he can hear it. Definitely a NO from Stevie lol.

[@ztarr]

Lol he can technically see a lil bit. But anybody can see that dis man was on some bs. Blind or not 😂

[@TENZEN9AIZEN]

Stevie wonder-👀

[@mlynettepinky595]

Don't underestimate a blind person. I knew a man who was blind, their other sense make up for them not being able to see. They can still hear, feel, smell and taste things He won't see, that's what you think That's not what Shaq, Anthony Anderson and other celebrities said😂 Anthony said he saw Stevie walking without a cane or help, then Stevie asked him walk him to the stage. He told Stevie, I just saw you walk by yourself, you walk yourself on stage😂 It is different kinds of blindness. Some people can see only shadows, outline of figures and shapes I think Stevie is like that but every thing else he can't see

[@Milen983]

This guy is a comedy genius. I want more of your videos pleaaaseeeee.

[@udontknowmeno]

This is so spot on!! Always the family and friends telling these people they could sing - please stop lying people!

[@xelamercedes]

Great!! I've been watching your shorts for a while. This longer video really showcases your creativity. The writing, the acting, the timing, the premise.....the whole thing is just brilliant.

[@annied461]

OMG. My roommate - from Iraq, no idea who Steve Wonder or Brian McKnight is, no clue of the concept of this video - hears you singing while he's not even looking at my computer and just busts out laughing. You have a real gift for this brand of musical comedy!

[@smiles4u92]

"You thought acting like you were blind for a singing audition wasn't bad?"🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@treyvionkhosravian6317]

“Yeah you know you going to hell right?” Lol 😂😂😂

[@ncruma]

I always love it when those contestants on their way out try to smuggle in another tune to show their incredible (and misunderstood) vocal prowess to immediately change the judges' minds so the NOs become YESes.

[@hewis9138]

You are very talented! The way you edited the video and set up the different characters is genius!😅

[@langutamakhuvele6518]

You not planning on going to heaven right?😅😂🤣🤣🤣

[@firandcurly84]

[@sf-c1972]

I’m not sure which was worse his Stevie Wonder impression or Brian McKnight. That being said, managing to make that bold claim after the audition was straight ballsy, lol. Love your rendering of the judges. A masterpiece.

[@tzengoddess]

[@TheCove111]

[@raamyasharahla535]

[@ramirezproductions0826]

They should definitely hire him if they’re ever make an Eddie Murphy biopic or sequel to the upcoming Saturday Night Live movie!

[@juliuspetty6047]

[@JamieModelvsDirector]

[@desireubensealey]

2:37 The belt holding up the too big trousers is hilarious...then the tears at 2:44 WIIIILLDDD🤣

[@ickn2005]

I genuinely don't understand how your beautiful mind can play all of these characters, to such perfection and being hilarious about it! You're style is pure gold and on a total different level than everyone else.

[@missari76]

It's past midnight and I'm crying laughing in my apartment. 😭🤣😂😭🤣😂

[@VIRTUOUSWOMAN73]

All four of his personalities need an award because the judges were hilarious 😂😂😂

[@bettybanaszak5748]

I just checked out that real audition. Couldnt believe that was for real!!! Jonathan, you made that guy famous! Dont know how you play all those characters so smoothly switching from one to the other! Bro, you got a fan here. 86 yr old white great-grandma in snowy, icy Alaska. 😂😂😂 laughter warms the soul!

[@natv55]

[@jenniferbrazzel7552]

I can't with you, Sir!!!! @JonathanBynoe😂😂😂😂 You are hilarious!!!!!! The facial expressions!! Priceless!!!😂😂😂❤❤

[@TheeSmileyOne]

See why did I think he was going to bust out and really sing when he said he sounds like Brian McKnight? 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@cryptedlevi]

All your videos are SOOOOOO UNDERRATED! WTF I'm always on the floor, your talent to look at you it's on another level man! Keep it up brother!

[@K9_MAMA]

"They said I was a star."✨️ The biggest and brightest! 🤣✨️🤣✨️🤣✨️🤣✨️🤣

[@timl.b.2095]

Man, this guy can act. I don't know how he showed up in my recommendations, but I'm glad he did. There was a lot of pathos in this.

[@thecannonball1000]

Hand to God, when playing this video out loud in the back patio to my apartment complex, all the dogs within a 500 ft perimeter were howling mad at your singing voice. With that, in addition to mangling the lyrics to "Ribbon In The Sky" and "Back At One" with the foolish assumption of your skills, made me crack up multiple times throughout the video. Very good channeling the worst of the worst singers auditions! Great video!!!

[@amandamilo3454]

😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂

[@bluebird7557]

🤣🤣🤣

[@LidiaPereiraMz]

[@sasbridgecloserstudent]

Amazing how well you play all the characters. Seems like different people.

[@larrybuckner8619]

When that show first came out was the first time I had ever realized how many people in America were actually nuts. Shocking!

[@bornagainchristian3742]

😂😂😂

[@noirking6138]

I'm about to flag this video! My naive ass sat right here thinking he was about to somehow redeem himself with a Brian McKnight song. I just knew he was about to make me forget about how he DESTROYED that first attempt and now i've been played TWICE JONATHAN! TWICE! 🤣

[@carmensandiego223]

🗣💯😆

[@MrsLilLady86]

Me too! I was hoping he would redeem himself! I was too real and funny 😅

[@Keys-zq1gw]

Any time they throw the, “my family say”, at you, there’s no need continuing with the audition. Thank you for coming. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out!

[@MsTimelady71]

You know grandmas and Aunties be saying you sound like Celine Dion when you can't hold a note.

[@tyrarice7318]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ohhhh, when the one tear dropped from the judge's eye...Bahahahaha

[@ChristaDeana]

I am blown away by the accuracy!!! I used to watch American Idol auditions all the time and this is EXACTLY how they went! 🤣🤣🤣

[@albbacarddoso]

[@lilmoney7825]

[@keriannrobinson8813]

[@MM-vo6rl]

"Stop lookin back, why you lookin back?"

[@starlinap17]
