I think that it is all a joke and that the people know that they are being made fun of. There is NO earthly reason for these people to believe that they sound good. Then, the mock Randy/Paula/Simon judging panel seems as fake as can be.

I'll bet that when it's all over, someone will file a lawsuit for their "embarassment and emotional distress" after being made a mockery of.
How shameful it will be when they find out the truth... *SMH*
