“American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest dared TMZ on his radio show to find a VHS tape of him as a kid dressed as a rock star singing Bon Jovi. And TMZ came through in record time!

Seacrest was 9 when he locked his bedroom door, put on what looks to us like Playtex gloves and did the most awful rendition of “I’d Die for You” ever recorded.

They found the “performance” on a tape of his TV show, “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest.”
