Pants On The Ground or Back Pockets on the Floor: You Decide

Found this article off of Access Hollywood: Is American Idol's Pants on the Ground a rip-off?

According to the article, an elderly rap duo called the Green Brothers produced a similar song in 1996 entitled Back Pockets on the Floor, which can now be found on youtube (or by watching below). They are not upset with Larry Platt, but they just wanted to make sure people knew their song exists as well.

I'll let you be the judge. Watch both below and comment away on which is your favorite.

Brett Favre's Pants on the Ground

Didn't I tell you this thing would spread like wildflower. Take a lot at Brett Favre's rendition via MSNBC. He didn't do the whole song, but if someone as busy as him heard it, you know it's something big.

Larry Platt: The Next William Hung? Another memorable American Idol moment

Everyone's seen it already, but I thought I would post it for anyone that might have missed the next possible youtube sensation. Give it a glance.

Larry Platt Performs Pants on the Ground


The thing I like about Idol is that once in a while, someone will come along that may not necessarily have talent, but a certain charm and charisma about them that kind of shines through. Sure, Larry Platt and William Hung couldn't sing at all, but even when turned away (Platt was way past the cutoff age anyhow), they at least weren't rude or acted self-important, like so many others that are given a no from the judges. That is part of their appeal. If you think about it, even some of the hopefuls that did make it could probably stand to learn a lesson from them as well.
