great combo of clips to see together. Justin has been, and continues to be, THE most talented, thrilling, fantastic performer to ever be on that AI stage. i am so happy he is starting to get busier these days and making new music!
I absolutely LOVE the part where Justin is singing "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" and the looks the woman to his left (our right) is giving him, haha :)
lol I haven’t seem this clip since. I was mad when he didn’t win still. Now looking at this clip, I now know that it was his looks.😂😂All this time waisted hating on KellyClarkston
Things were different back then. After their season, they switched the rules so the runner-up's CD could come out BEFORE the winner's (which is why Clay's was released first). But for the first season, it was required that everyone wait until the winner's album is released. Kelly put out "Thankful" in April, and Justin's came out in June.
OH MAN I LOVE THIS! I love the way he sings the last song. He cannot even out due the way he sang it at this audition. He just completely blew me away. This clip is awesome i love it so much. Does anyone know where you can get the whole audition uncut??
Justin IMHO was the best and most unique one the show ever had. He suffered from being part of the 1st season when the big voice "Diva" thing was still big then. Kelly was great but very unoriginal. Plus, in season 1, they didn't push runner ups or even lower finalists, as they did in following seasons.
I think he peaked during that last acapella of get here, then all of the other performances, although good, couldnt touch that one. Best ending ever, had everyone captivated especially during this time (2:34) thru (2:46). gave paula chills, even brought out the ___ in simon. craziness!
He's fantastic. Christina Christian's in second row shaking her head ... barely believing what he's doing to the song. And she could've won the whole thing herself. Impressive.
he sings well but the best thing about the video is the open-jawed disbelief on the face of the black dude in the audience. Makes me laugh so hard haha
i'm totally with you. kelly was awesome, but i was a justin fan from the beginning. he had me at "get here". i know he hosts the pre-show thing on the tv guide channel a half hour before american idol starts now a days.
Well, no question he's talented enough. However, the post-season was handled very differently for Season One non-winners. Everything was new, unknown, people made mistakes. Water under the bridge. He's happy, making good music, singing better than ever, doing his thing.
Justin was always the best and if you check out his FB page he's still got it. Kelly won because at that point in time divas with power pipes was big. Justin was always the more genuine vocalist.
Justin is the reason was his career didn't take off, he should have road on the wave of his success after his loss to Kelly. After his lost to her he did that movie and that american idol CD and took a year off. After his lost he should have came out with his CD. And i think he would have been great if he would have switched to R and B.
How did he ever lose? I mean seriously, look at any of his live performances on videos on this site and compare to Kelly Clarkson or any other Idol. He slays them. It is just a huge waste by the music industry. I hope someone can market this guy and get him out in the music world again because he is definitely amazing. OMG! Second place, pffff!
Okay...I want to see how many people agree and how many likes I get when I say this but...doesn't he remind you of Corbin Bleu??? Like his personality and how he talks at times? And of course obviously the hair. They are both diffrent in many ways as well. I love them both, but I do have to say Justin is a better singer than CB.
Probably the best rendition of Get Here that I have heard thus far!
I LOVE JUSTIN.
Awh. He gives me chills. This is my favoritttttte performance of his. He's so amazing.
***Looks around in the room***
***Sees Justin in the same room**
***breathes a sigh of relief***
you can't write a script for this moment
He's a star. Classy, polite, charming,mega-talented and oh by the way did I mention too darn cute for words!!
Thank you for posting this rare video. I never realized what a great voice he has. I hope many great things come for him,,,,thanks again :)
Very good, groovy, soulful and big voice, he doesnt have to have the microphone very close to his mouth like all contestants do...
great combo of clips to see together. Justin has been, and continues to be, THE most talented, thrilling, fantastic performer to ever be on that AI stage. i am so happy he is starting to get busier these days and making new music!
i love how at 3:03 the girl in the white is like fainting while justin walks off to sit down!!! hahaha!!!
True! When Paula said "I have to compose myself", that was a classic moment!
Wow. Just wow. I love how he tells Paula "Oh, Pauala" yet rubs away his goosebumps.
I STILL get chills!
I absolutely LOVE the part where Justin is singing "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" and the looks the woman to his left (our right) is giving him, haha :)
AGO, the guy you're referring to was a contestant. And, yes, the open-jawed look of disbelief was very amusing.
2:22 is priceless the black guy is like wtf i can't win against this loool
SING it, Lil Sweet!
lol I haven’t seem this clip since. I was mad when he didn’t win still. Now looking at this clip, I now know that it was his looks.😂😂All this time waisted hating on KellyClarkston
Oh yea!!
i just season 1...justins is the best audition ever :P
He hosts Idol Chat and Idol Tonight on the TV guide channel . I never thought I'd be so addicted to the TV guide channel. I just love to watch him.
Incredible. I wasn't watching AI in the first season so this was all new for me. This performance was amazing, and he seemed so genuine and humble.
Justin Guarini is a beast.

that part at end of that song was ridiculous starting at 2:34 - no breaks in his voice ; that was tight! he always so creative with his songs
Justin, Where the hell are you!!??? You are absolutely the best they ever had! You are the most interesting performer so far this millennium!
He's on Broadway. I just saw him in "Chicago" The Musical. He was amazing as Billy Flynn.
My left ear loved this.
This was a great rendition. I don't know why they changed it up later in the season
hahahaha that black guy with his mouth open?
hahahaha i laughed so hard. His face was like "THE FUCK IS THIS?"
OH MAN I LOVE THIS! I love the way he sings the last song. He cannot even out due the way he sang it at this audition. He just completely blew me away. This clip is awesome i love it so much. Does anyone know where you can get the whole audition uncut??

yep. this is essentially his magnum opus. i was blown away by this and raised my standards for him way too high during that season because of this.
He's fantastic.
Christina Christian's in second row shaking her head ... barely believing what he's doing to the song. And she could've won the whole thing herself. Impressive.
This is amazing, when he sings Get Here, oh man. In that part from 2:39 to the end he sounds a touch like Brian Mcknight.
gosh AI 1 really set the bar..
his performance is still awesome compare this 2009 idols..
he sings well but the best thing about the video is the open-jawed disbelief on the face of the black dude in the audience. Makes me laugh so hard haha
This is so awkward that he sings in front of the other contestants and just blows them away.
i'm totally with you. kelly was awesome, but i was a justin fan from the beginning. he had me at "get here". i know he hosts the pre-show thing on the tv guide channel a half hour before american idol starts now a days.
Holy cow! Look how fashion has changed over the last 10 years! lol
Even Simon got goose bumps.
hahaha. i read this before i saw what happened. that just made it 20x more funny.
He has great curls. I have dedicated a post on my blog to him.
Great talent and hair!
Well, no question he's talented enough. However, the post-season was handled very differently for Season One non-winners. Everything was new, unknown, people made mistakes. Water under the bridge. He's happy, making good music, singing better than ever, doing his thing.
This man screams early 2000s
Oh My Goodness !! Justin.....What happen to you!!! You belong on Stage for all to hear. Please find your path back to what you were born to do ! ! !
Justin brought the homosexual out of Simon 😂 “oh Paula” while he does the gay wave 😂😂😂
Now that's what I call a BABY MAKIN' SONG! lol
saw him perform in american idiot last night, EPIC. met him after the show XD
That was funny when he started whistling. Classic. Good tension breaker.
Justin was always the best and if you check out his FB page he's still got it. Kelly won because at that point in time divas with power pipes was big. Justin was always the more genuine vocalist.
haha the look on the dudes face in the front row is hillarious hahahaha
woow Amazing
Justin is the reason was his career didn't take off, he should have road on the wave of his success after his loss to Kelly. After his lost to her he did that movie and that american idol CD and took a year off. After his lost he should have came out with his CD. And i think he would have been great if he would have switched to R and B.
I don't think that is Ryan. It's the other host from S1 - Dunkleman
damn he killed it
At 1:03 the girl next to him was like, DAMMMNN, I can't follow that, I betta walk off the stage now, hope no one sees me.
McMoniLove, Did you run your reply through babelfish?
Ryan Seacrest sounds like he's going through puberty when he's narrating. Man i hate that guy
lil' sweet
those high notes are amazing !
good that he ended so high in the competition!
But I do still think that kelly is better !
That's my uncle
👍🏾
Jada Scales Well he should have won!
2:21 HILARIOUS
Kool guy. Not THE RIGHT PROMOTION!
Yeh. Simon was pretty funny trying to keep his "cool".
hehe he went to my high school!
oh! I wanna marry him and have little curly haired babies...
lol @ the brothas face @ 2:23
He's a sweetie!
How did he ever lose? I mean seriously, look at any of his live performances on videos on this site and compare to Kelly Clarkson or any other Idol. He slays them. It is just a huge waste by the music industry. I hope someone can market this guy and get him out in the music world again because he is definitely amazing. OMG! Second place, pffff!
omg paula looks EXACTLY like michael jackson at 2:02
Wow , and to think all theses years I believed he should have won. They chose the right one. I guess now I can like Kelly lol
haha what simon did after hes like "oh paula" hahaha.... but omg i agree with selenakk01.
I love him he's kelly and him should have been co-winners!
Okay...I want to see how many people agree and how many likes I get when I say this but...doesn't he remind you of Corbin Bleu??? Like his personality and how he talks at times? And of course obviously the hair. They are both diffrent in many ways as well. I love them both, but I do have to say Justin is a better singer than CB.
..he placed 2nd behind kelly clarkson in season 1.
Good thing he was last... imagine having to go after that. You can tell by the looks on their faces that's what the rest of them were thinking.
Lil sweet
does anyone know the song he is singing?
+Tyrone Brown "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" Otis Redding, I think?
look at the guy in the first row with open mouth
paula has the MJ face at 2:03
so what happened to him????????
ahh ok then.
I still fucking hate Seacrest though.
would suk to have to follow him
simon 2:58 - "Oh Paula, (Feminine hand gesture) XD lol. oh simon lmao!

Look at a man's face. 2:20

That guy's face @ 02:22-02:26 & 02:36
