Here's a YouTube video which I came across recently in which a Bulgarian contestant in Music Idol attempts to sing Mariah Carey´s song : Without You and which will no doubt send you into floods of laughter!
However, after you have enjoyed the hilarity, think about how you could use this in class (or any other YouTube video from Pop Idol). Teenage and young adult students tend to enjoy watching Pop Idol type shows (Operación Triunfo, Britain´s Got Talent, etc) and it might be interesting to use this video to get their reactions to the appalling pronunciation. You can give the students the lyrics to study after they view the song with the subtitles. Another possibility is to look at the comments sent in on the posts and have students send in their own post.
