He was the clear winner of this audition.

I saw Brenda K Starr in the lobby of House of blues in Chicago back in 2003. I walked up, pointed at her and sang “Hey you! Yeah I’m talking to youuuu!” She started laughing. Really sweet person.

Andy B Bad won the audition in my opinion.

Mine too !!

[@flipjupiter1]

Absolutely. He blew that roof off. Like Marty and The Pinheads. They weren't ready for this.

[@WickedWaiata]

Oh snap! Is that Mic Murphy and David Frank of the System 1:00

[@rustywatson2]

yes indeed

[@Chambyneitor]

The System, the underrated band in which its vocalist was once confused with Michael Jackson himself due to style and clothing.

[@trblmkr5139]

they are so dope i was like "YOU JUST REJECTED THE SYSTEM!!!" 😂😂😂😂

[@koguma.newyork1]

Every crew needs a dude with solicitude like Charlie (Leon G.) he read the situation and got his man the gig without even auditioning. Charlie was one of the unsung heroes of this movie and epitomized the business pillars of Hip Hop culture!
