Send For The Sandman! 9 Celebs Who Got Rejected Or Booed Off The Apollo Stage Before Making It Big

Lyfe Jennings

Must beeeeeeee nice…to win amateur night. It wasn’t easy for singer Lyfe Jennings though, as the star, trying to do good with his life after spending 10 years in prison, was booed during his first performance on the Apollo stage. I actually viewed his performance with my own two eyes (on television that is) and I can tell you that his whole guitar and crooning schtick wasn’t received well at first, and in fact, folks were booing him before he even started performing (c’mon ya’ll…). But once he got going, the crowd couldn’t deny him his just dues, and neither could labels watching. Jennings went on to win five amateur nights in a row and soon after, inked a deal with Columbia Records.
