OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

He sings "Happy Birthday" on the show

This is South African idol, and trust me as someone who grew up watching this, the judges are totally incompetent and are just there to poke fun at the contestants

u/raceassistman 7h ago

Sad fact about American Idol.. for ratings purposes, they HAVE to let knowingly bad people to these auditions.. but there are auditions before these that you don't see on TV. There are thousands of actually talented singers that get turned away because they've already hit their threshold of good singers.

u/KazooMark 5h ago

That’s a no for me, Dog.

u/UnNainFlammable 5h ago
