"Idol" Wannabe in Aisle Three

Posted Jan 22nd 2009 11:37AM by TMZ Staff

Not only does Walmart have "Always Low Prices," but there's also the chance you'll see a future "American Idol" performing in the CD department.



Before he made it to Hollywood in last night's episode, country kid Brent Keith Smith promoted a CMT album with a tour of local Walmarts.

If "A.I." doesn't work out, he always could end up there again ... as a cashier.

4. LOL ...even if it DOES work out for him on American Idol, he'll probably still end up back working at Wal-Mart. Their "big stars" don't seem have legs, as they say. Dumb show.

5. WOW!!! It would be "AWESOME" if WAL*MART gave consumers a chance to have some free "singing sessions" (Perhaps an hour each session) twice a month in the store. Allot of people go to WAL*MART.. So who knows.. People can be discovered like this as well.. JUST AN AWESOME THOUGHT =)

7. On the show they said that people in the background were shopping for CDs and even here it says they are in the CD department. They are actually in the middle of the clothing department. Hence the faded Glory jeans in the back and other pants just to their left. Just felt like correcting that. :)
