Who performed “Pants on the Ground” at the American Idol auditions?”
Larry sings ‘Pants on the ground’ during the American Idol auditions at Atlanta and the judges go crazy. Larry Platt never looked 62-year-old while he performed on a song he claims to have written himself. Watch the YouTube video of this amazing contestant. The video in question reveals how the judges, especially the female judges are amused by the devastating performance of a person that never gave the impression he’s in his sixties. Larry Platt just turned into a rap while singing ‘Pants on the ground’ and later came up with a physical dance too. Even Simon Cowell was impressed by both the song and old man’s amazing dancing ability and towards the end of his performance, Simon stated ‘by all means, the song seems to be a hit already.’ He didn’t finish here rather added that ‘this may not be our last chance to hear you singing.’ However, since the performer was way too beyond the eligible age limit for the American Idol contestants i.e. 28 or less, no way he could continue thus, the e
Wednesday night’s “American Idol” made me so happy I didn’t know whether to raise the roof or put my pants on the ground.

She talked back to feisty contestants, used words like “anointed” and laughed in the face of several bad singers. Now that’s a diva who isn’t afraid to look like a mean-spirited millionaire on television! Bonus points to “Idol” producers for using that shot from the “Just Fine” music video where it looks like Mary J. Blige farts doves. (No really. Look.) The episode was bookended by two goofy original compositions:
JUST PANTS: Ladies and gentleman, I give you the “Umbrella” of 2010: “Pants on the Ground” as performed by senior General Larry Platt, the final person to audition in Atlanta. Simon says: “I have a horrible feeling that song could be a hit.” Make it happen, America! I believe in you! After all, William Hung’s debut album literally peaked at #34 on the Billboard 200.
