American Idol: Randy Jackson walks out on "joke" Magic Cyclops

American Idol: Randy Jackson walks out on "joke" Magic Cyclops

Randy Jackson decided he needed a bathroom break during Magic Cyclops's audition on American Idol's latest episode.

Magic Cyclops, an apparent air guitar specialist from Davenport, Iowa, started his audition by declining to reveal his age, saying only: "It's not polite to ask a lady her age... A bearded lady, yes. It's a weird city."

He then explained his accent by saying: "This is an Iowan accent. I grew up extremely poor and we only got the local PBS station which mostly aired BBC programming."

After giving the judges a choice of songs he could perform, Magic Cyclops went for 'Cracklin' Rosie' by Neil Diamond, but not before Jackson said: "This is really silly."

He then switched to 'Margaritaville' by Jimmy Buffett at Jennifer Lopez's request, but before delivering a verdict, Jackson said: "I have to go to the bathroom, I think I'm going to go. I'm going to let you guys [Lopez and Steven Tyler] do this... This is a whole joke."

Cyclops then let off some form of confetti, causing Tyler and Lopez to jump, before they delivered a joined 'no' and followed Jackson in leaving the room.

"I have no clue what has just gone on," said Cyclops as the judges left. "I don't know what happened. No, really, I literally don't. If someone could explain to me what has just happened..."

American Idol airs Wednesdays and Thursdays on Fox.
