Quentin Tarantino Returns To American Idol, But Will He Sing?

Quentin Tarantino, who served as a guest judge on American Idol in 2004 (check out his cruel cutdown of Diana DeGarmo above), will return to the show next week, when the Top 7 take on “Songs Of The Cinema.” This time Tarantino will act as the cast’s mentor instead of a judge. Should be fun, but we’re worried the presence of a piano might force the Pulp Fiction director do something unwise: sing. While his soundtracks deserve all the respect they’ve been given, the man cannot sing. And he has tried. Proof after the jump.

Tarantino does “Blow You A Kiss In The Wind” (from the sitcom Bewitched), on Saturday Night Live in 1997.

Hopefully he can give advice on Tuesday (”Lil, why are you doing Whitney when you could something from Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls?”) without providing a rendition of his own. Because Kanye was bad enough.
