'American Idol' is a cut throat singing competition that breaks hearts, but for Rob Bolin -- he comes to his audition already bearing a broken heart, with the breaker in tow!

Rob Bolin and Chelsee Oaks are exs, who just happen to have made beautiful music together since day one. And Rob's voice carries the emotion and love that is just so obvious to the judges.

After listening to them both individually, it's pretty clear that Rob being single just might work out for him if he wins this whole competition.

Check out their audition for yourself!

'American Idol' airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8PM ET on Fox
