Kanye To “Sing” On American Idol

by Anthony Miccio

And you thought Sanjaya was questionable. Kanye West is scheduled to perform “Heartless” on Wednesday’s American Idol episode, which will also feature Kelly Clarkson and the debut of the first-ever Top 13. West’s appearance is more than a little ironic, seeing as how his live vocal chops are more William Hung than Ruben Stoddard. Hopefully they’ll keep a camera on Simon, who wouldn’t give Kanye a golden ticket for all the Jesus pieces on Earth.

Anoop Desai, for one, remains psyched. “”I’m definitely going to pick his brain — we’ll see if he has anything to lend me too.” And maybe you could teach him how to breathe properly into a mic.
