Am I angry? You sound very on edge. Tell us what happened.
What happened? I just am on edge from waiting all day. Honestly, some what?
Just from waiting. It's just Well, you know, the thing is you want to be in the music business, but you don't want to wait to get into American Idol. That to me seems to be a problem.
And you know, for you to have a bad attitude about that kind of pisses me off. I think you're reading it too far. No, no, I'm not reading it too far because you just told me that you were a little bit annoyed that you had to wait 3 hours to come in here and get your shot when there are people that would wait years to do so.
So, I am now angry at you who I don't like at all. Well, why are you doing this? So, why with all the attitude?

Yes or no? Andrew, no. I'm sorry.
Victoria, no. Randy wasn't good enough today, dog. No.
I would have said yes. You're kidding me. He's starting to grow on me.
You're kidding. But he's starting to grow. I had a feeling.
I had a feeling you and I. Yeah, we started off bad, but kind of got to like each other. I'm sure.
You know what, Simon? You have an attitude, but you're at least charming. Thank you, Randy.
I don't think that you're a solo singer at all. I think you I'm sorry. I don't feel that you're a solo singer.
I don't feel that you have a solo singer's voice. I'm quite sure I sing a whole lot better than you do. And for you to tell me I need lesson enough.
I'm hurt. I'm hurt and I'm angry. Feisty.

Why did you get a job down in the port? Why get a job? What?
A job in the port when it's foggy. I will not stop until I'm a household name. When America sees this, they're going to forget about Taylor who carry underwear.
I mean Fantasia when but they will remember Ian Benardo and that's going to happen. That's not my phone. That's yours.
We can share. Hi. How you been?
Hello. This is Hello. How are you?
Good. Who are you? What's your name?
My name is Ian Benardo. It's my name. And how old are you?
I am 25 years old. Mr Cowell. All right.
And why are you here in to try out for American Idol? No, I know that. Good.
That's like why else would I be an at American Idol? I'm here to be the next American Idol. I thought that it would be a nice addition to my already long and impressive resume which is which is superstar dancer singer and this is Chinchilla and I'm wearing it specifically to show the world how wealthy I can be.
Well, you're not a superstar, but you are a singer. I am a superstar. Now, with respect, Ian, you're not a superstar, but you may be a singer in the dancing.
I am a singer. I'm a dancer. And I am a superstar.
You can ask my family. You can ask my friend. You can ask one of my therapists.
I am one of them. How many therapists do you have? I have two.
All right. Okay. What are you going to say, Gloria?
Gloria, you're always on the run now. Running after somebody, you're going to get them somehow. I think you got to slow down before you start to blow it.
But I think you're headed for a breakdown. So be careful not to show it. You really don't remember.
Was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling Gloria? Gloria, don't you think you're falling?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody calling? You don't have to answer. Leave him hanging on the line.
Hey, hey, hey. Calling Gloria. Gloria, how you going to go down?
Will you meet him on the main line or will you catch him on the rebound? Will you marry for Okay, Randy. Oh god, dude.
I don't even know what to say. Thank you. Didn't mean it that way in my opinion.
Three syllables. Hollywood. Like it's not that hard.
Let me tell you what this was, Ian. This was a very hammy bad audition for you as something you aspire to be, which obviously isn't a singer. And you It's bad.
It's not funny. You're not good at anything. And this is all your lips.
And I haven't finished it yet. What an American. I haven't finished yet.
Okay. It's just rubbish. What do you think I'm going to say to you?
No. Correct. Goodbye.
