American Idol 6 Reject - Sarah Goldberg from New York City

She walked onto the American Idol audtion stage and proudly proclaimed that she couldn't sing. But the show could teach her. That was the train wreck known as Sarah Goldberg. Here's the rest of the story from BlogCritics.org:

Where do I begin with Sarah Goldberg? She seems perfectly normal when we first see her. She's cute in her red cowboy hat and looks a little like Natalie Portman. She sings Selena's "Dreaming of You", and it's a complete mess. Not a single note is on key. Carole asks Sarah if she truly believes she can sing, and Sarah admits that she knew perfectly well that she can't. You see, in Sarah's little world, a person can be an American Idol without knowing how to sing!

Screaming like a wild banshee, Sarah then claims that she would be a unique Idol because she can't sing! WTF? It's like she's using the Chewbacca Defense! Furthermore, Sarah expects to be taught how to sing while being on the show. Unbelievable. The judges kindly remind Sarah that American Idol is a singing competition and that they're looking for singers, and send her on her way. Outside, Sarah launches into full batshit crazy mode by screaming to everyone within earshot how mean the judges were to her (which they totally weren't), and how rude it was for the judges to go out drinking last night. I so wish that Simon was there at the time, so he could tear her a new one.
