This episode is definitely my favorite episode.

I just have to admit this episode was amazing. The entire cast breaks into song when a singing competition is coming up, and when Pig is discovered to be a true star, the barnyard gets him disguised as a kid to perform with Otis disguised as his manager. But when Pig makes it to the finals and Norah doesn't, she tries to prove that Pig is a barnyard animal. But Pig soon enough can't perform in the finals when Otis overpressures him over tough competition and makes him lose his voice. This episode was hilarious and the parts I laughed at the most was when Norah tried to rap, when Abby tried to yodel, when Bigfoot sang "No Fear Bigfoot", and when the host said "This is the 38th show I hosted today!" LOL! This episode will always be my favorite of the first season.

FINAL GRADE: A+moreless

Thay did a horrible spoff of American Idol!

3.9

By CyclopsBoy, Aug 18, 2008

this was the worst episode of BATBY*. the junges are nothing like Simon, Paula, or Randy. ok a little like paula but still. The name is stupid! Do you gots it????!!!! What the heck? and during auditions they don't have an audence it's just the contestant, and the three junges. and the auditions made me want to rip my hair out. like that mountain guy or that tough gut singing "I'm so pretty, I'm so pretty" 50 times. It makes you think the producers think that it's easy to get though American Idol . No That's America's got talent. There was some funny part like Mrs. Beady spoff of "Milkshake" by Kelis or when she dressed up like Bigfoot. Oh which reminds me Big foot a junge!!!??? so this one gets a thumbs down *In case you didn't know BATBY mean Back At The Barn Yard.moreless
