Just when you think you know Kanye West [1] pretty well, he goes and auditions for American Idol [2]. Judges Jennifer Lopez [3], Keith Urban [4], and Harry Connick Jr. were expecting yet another amateur to stroll into the San Francisco auditions on Saturday, but instead, they got Kanye. He and his wife, Kim Kardashian [5], paid an unexpected visit to the set, meaning the show is really going all out for its final season [6]! Thanks to American Idol's Twitter account and a random YouTube video, you don't have to wait until January to see his cameo. Take a look below to see all the pictures, plus the video!
