'American Idol' Season 15 Judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Stunned by Surprise Audition, Check Details Here
If there is one person that needs to get the coveted Golden Ticket to Hollywood, it's definitely not Kanye West, but much to everyone's surprise, he showed up suddenly before the judges anyway.
As if he is not a big star at all, rapper and producer Kanye West hit up the auditions for the last season of American Idol and surprised the judges as he tried his luck to "enter Hollywood."
The "All Day" rapper stunned judges Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. with an a capella version of his 2005 hit, "Gold Digger", while he donned the classic Yeezus outfit-black coat over black trousers and a pair of trendy boots, E Online reports.
According to Hollywood Life, Kanye even sang the part of the song where he referenced one of the judges, JLo and she seemed to enjoy that part of Yeezy's audition. With his groove-inducing performance, the rapper got a yes vote from the Latina singer.
It turns out that Yeezus is not at all done and contented with the all the credits that he bring as a renowned musician. Apart from being rapper, producer and fashion designer, TMZ likes to be the "last American Idol."
Kanye's audition in San Francisco Bay Area capped off his long day as he was also spotted earlier that day with President Barack Obama during the Democratic fundraiser's event. The president even gave some advice for Yeezy as he expressed his plans to run in the 2020 presidential horserace. Indeed, Yeezy the trailblazer knows how to make a bold statement in every move he makes.
While the hit maker tried out the auditions, his wife, Kim Kardashian, is spotted being all-out supportive-a definitive proof that the pair makes up the perfect relationship goal. Kim hung out together with her pal, Ryan Seacrest, who hosted the singing show and who also happens to be a producer of the reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians".
E Online also reports that the proud wife also uploaded a snap on Instagram of her man performing before the judges and captioned it with "SURPRISE!". Meanwhile, Seacrest also expressed his support for Yeezy as he uploaded a photo of Kanye during the auditions with a caption: "Look who's going to Hollywood! #IdolAuditions #kanyewest"
For the final season of American Idol, Hollywood Life reports that it will be a celebratory season after 15 successful installments of the singing competition and it was reported that the original judges, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, will soon make a comeback appearance.
