American Idol’s “Pants On The Ground”: A Twitter Sensation

If you haven’t seen a tweet about the viral video “Pants On The Ground” lately, then you’re missing out. Days after the American Idol hopeful Larry Platt auditioned his song, his audition is still being searched like crazy on Twitter.

Platt, a 63-year-old well past the age limit of 28 for American Idol auditions, said that he was happy with the way American Idol portrayed him in the Atlanta audition episode.

The story behind the song? He started singing it spontaneously after he saw a man out on the street, with his pants slipping below his waist.

Simon Cowell’s words were encouraging at the end of Platt’s audition:

“I don’t think this will be the last we hear about you. I have a feeling about you, Larry.”

Larry’s audition, which now has more than 1,500,000 views on YouTube, has undoubtedly gathered a wide amount of attention from around the world. It seems that every year, there happens to be one audition that is simply unforgettable or amazing—and we certainly had one this season.

In case you have not seen the video yet, here it is. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
