Watch a Transformer audition for American Idol. But did he get to go to Hollywood?

Drew, a young bartender with a sick home-made Transformers costume auditioned for American Idol last night. So, how'd it go? Not so good. Not only did he forget the words, but he also forgot that Optimus Prime's favorite karaoke jam is a serenade for his unrequited love bot, Mustang Sally. Plus he also opened himself up for a lame Steven Tyler burn. Sorry Drew — take solace in the fact that your costume might still be of use to you at Comic Con.
