"Simon, Ellen, Randy and Kara may have been replaced by steely-eyed prison guards, and 'You're Going to Hollywood' was replaced with 'Back to Your Cell,' but for the inmates at the Metro West Detention Center in Miami-Dade, an opportunity to show off their vocal stylings was too good to pass up.
Yesterday, the prison held its 2nd annual Inmate Idol Contest, pitting convicted felons and inmates awaiting trial against each other in a singing and rapping battle.
Corrections officers served as judges as orange jumpsuit-clad jailbirds sang about religion, domestic violence and love."This sounds like some kind of joke right? I would have absolutely watched this if it was televised. Does this jail realize how much money they could have made off this? All I can imagine is Nelly tearing up the mic with Cheeseburger Eddie as his hype man busting the perfect robot dance, Longest Yard style. Ya ya ya, singing/rapping about religion, domestic violence, and love are beneficial to women in society, but I'd like to see Guard Simon spice things up and give them 30 seconds to spew off a freestyle about why they're in the pen. That would be absolute money in the bank if it was televised. Sure, the jail would need to hire one hell of a lawyer and PR exec, but that would instantly take over the viral market.
P.S. Check out this dude below. Is it Chad Kroeger?
