Jigglypuff's music reaches the American masses

[Paul]

American Idol, the US version of the UK's infamous talent show "Pop Idol", recently had a contestent perform a particularly strange choice of song- none other than "Jigglypuff's song" from popular kids anime series Pokemon!

 

[Gawyn]

Some "kind" soul was nice enough to post up a link to the recording of the offending moment over at Anime News Network. Click here if you are brave enough .

Hahaha! He should have mixed in the Cardcaptors theme to top it off.

i think i speak for the world when i say: :shock:

lol, he would never pass for a jigglipuff tho! wheres the black marker?!?!?! i would have paid to watch someone draw all over simon cowel's face in black marker!!!...where is simon anyway? did he finally realise he was never going to find anyon who could sing on those shows?

 

[Charter_Mage]

Lol, i actually saw this just this morning on tv, took me a while to actually realise what he was singing

 

[Ginji]

It doesn't seem particularly wise to choose to sing something that is supposed to send people to sleep.

I saw this, it was one of those moments on TV that you can't bear to watch cuz you feel kinda embarrassed for the guy singing it.

 

[gintoki]

Awesome. I wonder if he did that as a bet or as punishement for one. Either way you gotta give the guy credit for doing that on tv for all to see.

I wonder if American Idol needed to buy the rights to the song before broadcasting it :?

Kudos to the guy who sang it though. He managed to pull it off pretty well!

The whole concept makes my brain hurt.
