Armenian American Idol

Wednesday night we ended up watching American Idol’s L.A. auditions on the Fox network. Last night’s program finally televised an Armenian American from Southern California. I really don’t have the nerve to describe what I saw as this performance was beyond anything I have ever seen on national television. Check out Martik Manoukian’s unusual American Idol audition now posted on YouTube. Let us know what you think. Hey, good performance or bad, Martik was fresh and entertaining.

  3. So this was an Armenian guy? I came across to it when flipping through channels. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen (not that there is anything wrong with it).

    I still don’t get why people go and embarrass themselves in front of millions of people. They should perform in front of somebody who can give an honest assessment because these performers genuinely think that they are talented.

    Thank you Hagop for sharing this funny story.

  5. It’s really sad because we are not represented in the US media, and when we are, it is images like this!
