NEW YORK (AP) — "American Idol" hopeful Nick Mitchell isn't winning over the judges with his singing, but his over-the-top style clearly qualifies as comedy.Mitchell left the judges laughing and nearly speechless Wednesday after he wailed a show-stopper from the musical "Dreamgirls." He came on as the flamboyant alter ego he has christened Norman Gentle.
Simon Cowell called the performance "atrocious" and "horrific," and his three fellow judges weren't arguing.
Mitchell was among the second group of 12 contestants vying to be chosen as one of a dozen finalists.
Wednesday's top three vote-getters will be revealed during Thursday's live episode.
