The girl’s name is Mary Roche. You can watch some video of her here. I forget the guy’s name but he thinks he sounds like Brian McKnight. Too early to say if either will steal the Delusional Idol crown from Ashlee Simps… I mean, William Hung. We’ll meet the worst from New Orleans on Tuesday’s episode.

UPDATE: Crazy Mary speaks?
%s1 / %s2

































A friend told me that she thought Mary sounded like Marly Matlin singing. Nasty, but I had to repeat it.
Mary Roche sounds exactly like Edie Brickell, who had something of a career in the late 80s and early 90s…

If anyone has th entire Mary Roach performance on tape PLEASE post it!!! It was absolutely hysterical. She truely went crazy after she sang and then told the 3 judges her opinion of them in real life, then proceded to tell them what the voices in her head were saying. I was dying laughing….pretty crazy…
yes indeed, her send off was so funny. “Mark, I still think you’re hot but you’re wrong.” And then when she left, she gave us a final send-off that was also complete crap.
One we start getting into the competition, it gets boring. But this is great!
mary roach = joanna newsom.
I’d like to see some video of her singing. Somehow I missed that one last night.
I did see the future Comic Book Store Guy, and his forever virgin pal though. HILARIOUS.
I couldn’t get over her oddly shaped body and weirdly fitting clothes. She did say that one of her hobbies was fashion/shopping, right??
yikes!
she totally has camel toes in those pants. Wait, why am I looking at her crotch???
Please stop encouraging Fox. Eventually this show will go away.
I have a love/hate relationship with this show. To me it symbolizes everything that is wrong with the current music industry.
But I will admit watching the first four episodes of auditions and seeing people who think that they the best voice in the world and they suck get knocked down a peg is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.
Can does anyone else find it funny that Paula Abdul is judging a musical contest? I think it was Chris Rock who said Paula Abdul judging a singing contest is like having Christopher Reeve judging a dancing contest.
Mary’s alright , but I wanna see more of that Toni Braxton’s cousin dude. He doesn’t even have to sing,
he could just stand there babbling and repeating himself like he did on the show. He has obvious neurological problems that would be mean (but fun) to exploit. I love how he told Mark Mcgrath off by describing him as a one hit wonder. How many hits has Twitchy McFucked Up had? Is None Hit Wonder a legitamate term? Discuss.
LOL, yea i only watch the auditions, then I quit the show. I only watch the show for all the William Hungs out there. That is the best. Its funny too that William Hung has probably made more money that Ruben Stutterfield. He is a marketing genius
That girl Mary Roach, her singing sounded like a cat getting beaten with an infant. And her camel toe action was TO. DIE. FOR.
Bizarro Brian McKnight was the best after he sang his first number and got killed — as he walks to the exit he kept looking back with that little grin. Then when he came back and launched into the McKnight song…with such confidence. Pure gold.
I nearly fell off my chair watching Mary Roach. Better than her performance was the true shock over hearing she sucked. Her singing expressions were priceless. Reminded me of that scene in the movie Airplane where the woman lays eggs out of her mouth.
She looks like a female Gilligan….
GIRLIGAN
man, that mary, she was crazy…she shoulda sang that song by patsy cline…
Ho-lee, she looked like she was gonna have a coronary or something, while walking through the lobby.
“All my friends say I a great singing voice!!”
Uh, sure they do.
Runners-up:
Homeless ballet teacher(?) standing out in the rain, begging for spare change, made some guy drop and smash his bottle of drink.
The guy who sang “You’re only a daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (gasp) waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!”
Mary sounds like she’s in a Deaf Cabaret performed by the hearing. She’s from the town I went to high school in. And people still ask why I left.
So bummed someone beat me to the camel toe observation. OUCHIE!
WHAT SONG DID SHE DO AGAIN??? (CAN’T WATCH VID AT WORK)
THANKS!
MATT
matt, she sang “i feel the earth move” by carole king. everytime i see scary mary, i can hear it in my head and i don’t want to.
Watch Koch is going to give Scary Mary a deal just like they did with William Hung.
scary mary should be on the next version of “the surreal life” with mark mcgatch, personally speaking.
you know, mix it up with washed up celebrities and crazy ladies.
ps. saw scary mary on the news the other night, she’s dyed her hair brown and is speaking out against the show saying she was missed represted or something.
I thought homegirl Mary was ill! Put her in a nasty garage punk band and let them gooooooo… now that would be amazing…
Brian McKnight keep sayin’ something like, “My mom told me I sing good.”
can soemone please post the entire mary roche scene…..I am dying to see it as it is all I have heard about…damn working nights and being VCR illiterate sucks
Is there a clip of the full performance out there? I have been looking for one, I can’t get enough of her!
PEARL JAM – CRAZY MARY
holy crap…. that mary girl is the best thing that has ever happened to me.dont these idiots get that their friends and family are freaking just that, “friends and family”. they lie to make you feel good. mary said strangers have told her she is a good singer. ahhhh , i love that. if i were simon paula and randi i would have let her sing ten songs! and i would have been more then happy to have pissed myself laughing at her on national television.
Mary Roche – kind of person who would argue with a sign post!
Mary Roach looks like the girl that played “Becky” on ROSEANNE” back in the day!! Maybe it IS her!!
Mary is already the next William Hung. Extra had her on the other night and they gave her a make over and singing lessons.
Okay since there was nothing on tv last night I watched the whole audition from New Orleans. And I’m beging to think that some of the really bad or crazy people are plants by the producers to improve ratings.
Did anyone see that 10ft tall accountant dude? And that Leroy kid? They totally had to be plants.
The one kid whose parents were musicans who got through last night was really pretty good very unique voice. They’ll most likely have him stay cause he and Simon can fight each episode and that will get ratings.
did they reanimate Wesley Willis for this?
Gene Simons was a far better judge then Mark McSellout
MARY ROACH…AUDITION VIDEO
Here?s a link to a page that has a link to the audition itself on it (not the before/after interview…see that on http://www.idolonfox.com). You may have to download the K-Lite Codec Pack mentioned near the top. I had to, because after I downloaded it I only got the audio. The video is entertaining enough to take the 3 minutes to download, and the install is pretty quick. As far as the link to the actual video, if you save it to disk (probably the best way to do it so it flows better), it?s 25MB so it took me about 18 minutes on broadband.
Anyway, here it is. Mary Roach is under The Delusional
http://www.idolmedia.tv/americanidol4/auditions.html
Frankly, it must?ve been awful for her. She seems like a really insecure person trying so hard to act secure. And trying so hard to let it roll off her back, but you can see from the interview she lost it. However, they film all of the contestants reactions when they leave the room and she definitely reacted worse than most.
Better link to the full performance:
http://www.newsfly.org/media/americanidol.htm
i really think that mary wasn’t THAT awful, especially when you take into consideration that someone with a horrific voice like joanna newsom is successful (she IS a bit nuts, though).
Joanna newsom is aware of her weird voice, but she can’t much help it. Mary is doing some sort of weird vibratto thing with hers because she thinks it has an “effect.” Also, Joanna Newsom can write and play an instrument. So those comparisons don’t seem to make much sense to me.
mary roach…can we say…moose knuckles?
