Worst 'American Idol' Semifinalists Ever -- #2: Nick Mitchell

For the next two weeks, we're teaming with Vote for the Worst to name the 10 worst 'American Idol' semifinalists ever. Check back tomorrow to see their pick for number two.

Name: Nick Mitchell
Season: 8
Worst Performance: 'And I Am Teling You (I'm Not Going)'
Why We Loved to Hate Him: Sure, we love a good 'Idol' joke, but there was something supremely unfunny about Nick (or was it Norman?) Mitchell.

Part of it was his alter-ego, which seemed like more of an inside joke, if anything -- and a silly one at that.

But mostly it had to do with the fact that he lasted so long on the show. The goal of the audition rounds and especially Hollywood week is to get rid of people like Mitchell who don't take the show seriously. The laughs are supposed to end by the live semifinals, and that he was still there making a mockery out of a classic Jennifer Holliday must have felt like a slap in the face to the contestants he was competing against.For the next two weeks, we're teaming with Vote for the Worst to name the 10 worst 'American Idol' semifinalists ever.

Certainly, Mitchell was no fun to the viewers watching at home, either, which might explain why he never made it past night two of the semifinals. Whatever the case, he's gone for good, and we are telling you we never want to see him -- or Norman -- again.
