Kanye West [1]: rapper, producer, American Idol? Maybe you recall that back in October, pictures of Kanye West auditioning for American Idol [2] came out. The video is now here, and it's better than all the pictures combined. Behold, a young man striving to make his way in the harsh world that is show business. His pregnant wife (Kim Kardashian [3]) patiently waits outside; so much depends on this audition. Will he make it to Hollywood? Only Jennifer Lopez [4], Harry Connick Jr., and Keith Urban [5] can change this poor family's life forever.
