American Idol

This episode is known to have the longest audition ever; The last contestant sang his own composed song, "We're Brothers, forever" but did not make it through.

Something in this episode happened that we thought never would. Simon complemented someone on their singing he said you're the best singer that they reviewed this whole year.
