been knowing this guy since our church days and he was always entertaining. He was telling the truth about being a musician. He comes from a wonderful family! Enjoyed Leroy!
December 16, 2021 5:45 AM MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) - Mobile Police said a former American Idol contestant is responsible for a shooting at a recording studio this weekend. According to investigators, Leroy Wells was recording music at Kingdom Enterprises on Three Notch Road Sunday night when the victims showed up at the studio. Police said Wells opened fire, hitting two men while they were still standing outside of the location. Wells gained fame in 2005 when he tried out for American Idol. He didn’t make it to the next round but was remembered for having an entertaining audition with his signature “Can you dig it?” exclamation. When his appearance aired on FOX, Wells was in Mobile County Metro Jail after police accused him of shooting a man in Tillman’s Corner. Later that same year he was charged with attempted murder. Police alleged he shot a man outside a Grand Bay convenience store in 2004. Before he went to trial, Wells pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of assault. Wells made another appearance in American Idol in 2014 and ran into more legal trouble later that year. He was sentenced to 46 months in prison for illegal possession of a firearm.
My goodness...somebody give this dude a rap record deal STAT, and also a reality tv offer! This dude is very fun to watch! Hell he had me stomping, clapping, and yelling...HELL YEAH I CAN DIG IT!
"Thank you Jesus, 'cause you gotta put Jesus first, if you don't he ain't gonna do nothing." "Tell Simon Cowell he's gotta put Jesus first". [Looking in every direction except toward Simon] "Simon, if you don't put Jesus first..." "Yo, Simon's over here." "Where he at?" [Finally finds Simon] "Simon, if you don't put Jesus first, something wrong with you!" Maybe the funniest thing I've ever seen! :D :D
Man I cried when they came up on the escalator (another vid), when he first introduced himself and said some gibberish shit, this simon jesus part, the mommy and daddy bit, and then the concluding gibberish at the end (another video)
He was high for real in 2020 this is still my favorite episode I like coming to this episode and watch this one when I want a good laugh. Simon you going to put Jesus first, Simon is over here. Simon Where he at? He's over there Simon you gotta put Jesus first if you don't something is wrong with you. So can you dig it lol lol? Simon turn his head and tried not to laugh, he know that was funny lol lol lol.
I remember when that was on live. Rumor said just after the show the New Orleans police picked him up. They had been looking for him and gone cold, but renewed after he showed up on TV! ... LMAO !!!
SIMON, you gotta put Jesus first...!!!!! Looking out the door with his eyes closed. Who was he talking to? That gets me every time. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
This is... unquestionably... the greatest moment in this history of reality television. I have never cried laughing as I have with this video. I cried even harder when I found out that this guy was sent to prison for shooting someone. I would have LOVED to be at his trial.
They should have put him through. He wouldn't have come close to winning but he would've been ratings gold! "This for the TV, this is for your Mommy and Daddy." HILARIOUS!
oh my gosh, i love this guy! he's as hyper as i am! and he used my fav line throughout this entire video- can you DIG IT!!!??? the weird thing is that i understand what he's saying! lol
