Blame Simon Cowell - the format of the show is the same as the UK version. There is a preliminary set of auditions in front a panel of producers where they choose the contestants who’ll make the best T.V. So viewers never see ‘the first audition’ and that’s why many of the bad singers come off as over-confident.
They think that they’ve progressed to the second round due to their ‘good’ voices, when in reality they are there for comic relief and to be criticized for having the nerve to audition in the first place.
