Former 'American Idol' judge Steven Tyler dropped by the live auditions round recently in an attempt to fool the new panel into thinking he was a hopeful contestant.

Dressed in a long blonde wig, a rather loud animal print dress complete with black stockings and black women's shoes, Tyler walked out in front of Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, Randy Jackson and Nicki Minaj before announcing he was about to sing a song called, 'Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa, Our Love Going to Grow, Wah Wah.'

Referring to himself as 'Pepper', the Aerosmith frontman continued: "I like you men. The roosters may crow but the hens deliver the goods, do you know what I'm saying? Do I go through to Hollywood or what?!"

However, it was only a matter of time before the judges realised his true identity and they laughed as he ripped off the hairpiece to reveal his own locks.
