If I were Columbo I’d Peter Falk her

By Adam Stanhope in Music, Video Clips on Feb 13, 2008 at 10:51 am


Yeah, yeah, yeah – it’s three weeks old… It’s still probably the funniest American Idol audition of all time, however. 32-year old Paul Marturano sings a brilliant song about his love for American Idol judge Paula Abdul and his thoughts about stalking her, and is eventually escorted out of the audition room. YouTube.

    I think you’d be surprised.

    Paula had quite a following back in the day.

    The guy was just trying to be funny, and Simon didn’t understand the humor.

    They didn’t need to call security, it was obviously a joke. God, what a stiff.

    Not funny, not brilliant. Just somebody testing how creepy and disrespectful you can be before you get tossed out. Surely this video wasn’t worth posting.

    I found it to be funny and clever. The only thing creepy was everyone’s reaction to an obviously humorous song.

    If i were Alan Thicke (I mean Simon) i would’ve had security beat him down just in case he was serious about stalking paula abdul

    Nothing like being known nation wide as a creepy stalker.

    Paul Marturano is a professional singer based in the Philly area, he has done some national tours, and this is a song he has performed for a number of years. Part of his show has some dark humor.

    I still think William Hung’s audition was the most awesomest American Idol audition ever.

    that wasn’t as creepy as opening the paper one morning and being accosted by pictures of simon cowell in just his swim shorts strolling along the beach with his girlfriend. *shudder*

    anyway, what’s wrong with being disrespectful to these people? cowell’s responsible for a tsunami of auditory sewage over here in the U.K…

    I’m gutted that I can’t get American Idol this year – for some reason ITV2 isn’t working on my TV The American version is far superior to the British one.

    Too bad he didn’t reference “Straight Up” or “Opposites Attract” in his song…

    Yes! Finally said what I’ve been thinking all this time: Simon does look like Alan Thicke.

    I believe the original song is by a group called the Hairy Aureolas called ‘Stalker’… how funny.

    That guy was a riot! Too bad he won’t be around to take a place in VoteForTheWorst this year though.

    To all the whiners: Lighten up & ask for a sense of humor this XMas.
