Was james lewis showing up on american idol some kind of a joke or staged?

There may be other things he may be talented at but that doesn't equal to singing being his career, nonetheless he still thought he was good at it and planned on next year in 2009 but he never came over again. It truly is funny to watch it in loops but on other hand that awkward moment of silence when judges were laughing. Funny to watch but in exchange of that persons feeling.
