American Idol Recipe For Success: Death or Homeless

Joe Music is at his wit’s end with American Idol contestants.  Your honor, let the evidence speak for itself:

The past few weeks the most highly regarded auditions were by people that were either too enamored with fame to prioritize the well being of themselves or family.  Tonight, you have a guy who dropped out of school and has been living in his car for the past year.  He affected a British accent as well, which was totally weird (though Joe Music is a huge Snow Patrol fan, so that was cool). 

But the capper was the young lady whose dad passed away while she was on her way to the audition, 2 days prior to the show.  The cynic in Joe Music says the authorities should check his car for a cut brake line (snark).
