Watch: This Might Be The MOST Cringe Worthy ‘American Idol’ Audition – It’s NOT What You Think

(Before It's News)

When Alex and Jordan Sasser walked into the audition room for American Idol, they weren’t alone. The Sassers, from Raleigh, North Carolina, brought their baby girl with them. After customary introductions with Idol judges, the Sasser husband and wife took to the stage for their auditions.

Alex went first.  She seemed to do a great job, singing on key, in proper pitch, even playing the ukulele while performing.  But the judges, who looked pleased with her performance, were not overly impressed and chose not to select Alex to go to Hollywood for the American Idol competition.

Next up was Jordan. Jordan proclaimed that he was a super-fan of Celine Dion and chose one of her songs, It’s All Coming Back to Me,” to sing for his audition.  Jordan killed it with a performance that scored with the judges.

Judge Keith Urban complimented the married couple, praised Jordan’s singing, and complimented the couple again saying the couple was, “both so full of light!”  At that point, the judges presented Jordan, his golden ticked to Hollywood.

Jordan had earlier predicted the outcome. In the pre-audition interview, Jordan foretold the results of the audition when he said bluntly, “I’m auditioning, she’s auditioning, I’m gonna win, she may get second place.”  Those pre-audition comments may have contributed to the anxious moment that came soon after the audition.

Immediately after the couple emerged from the audition room, Jordan revealed the news to their family and friends. Once again, in straight to the point fashion Jordan said, “I’m going. She’s not.”

Then came the tears and the noticeably awkward moment where Alex reflected on the audition.

“I did my best and it was sad that they (judges) couldn’t just focus on my singing,” she said.

Later in the video, Alex seemed to blame Jordan for what the judges implied was the “distracting” presence of their baby in the room. Speaking about Jordan’s behavior while Alex was auditioning Alex told her family, “Jordan was dancing with her (baby) on the ground.”

There were the pitiful moments presented in the post-audition video.

“I’ve never been good enough. I’ve watched you follow your dreams. It’s just heartbreaking,” Alex told Jordan.

Jordan responded gracefully, “Hey, hey, I don’t want you to feel like this is the end of the road and that you don’t have another chance. Alex, I’m proud of you.”

With those comments the awkwardness was over and the married couple embraced, but the drama of Idol’s final season is just beginning, and the Sasser saga may heat up. Stay tuned.

Social media lit up with comments about the Sasser family, with some praising Alex and offering consolation, and others chastising American Idol for making Alex look bad. Idol fans and Idol haters will surely have a lot more to talk about as the season is just beginning, but in 2016, American Idol will end its over-a-decade reign as the world’s greatest singing competition.

Idol has been running for 15 seasons. For the final season, Idol has been bringing back all the fan favorites, the previous years’ winners, celebrity guests, and is sure to present a myriad of superstar musicians and bands throughout the year. The season and show is set to go out in a blaze of Idol glory.
