'American Idol' contestant Sanjaya Malakar REUTERS/FOX/Handout."American Idol" recently axed Chris Sligh who bid sayonara on Wednesday, now says he thought about quitting the show after being criticized for his arrangement of "Endless Love," and that he just stayed in to get paid as one of the Top Ten, and now will go on tour this summer according to TMZ.com.
Sligh was interviewed by the Greenville, S.C. News, and claims he never really wanted to be the American Idol. "I never came into this wanting to win it. I made the Top Ten. That was my goal," says Sligh, who reminded some viewers of Jack Osbourne.
But when he was told that he wouldn't be able to go on tour with the Top Ten if he pulled out, Sligh "grudgingly" stayed in, getting his final walking papers two weeks later, reports TMZ.
The contestants this year are odd. Carrot Top odd, or Tiny Tim or Siegfried and Roy odd for the older viewers. The judges seem to have lost something too. Paula this season seems to be dialing it in, and does more leaning on Simon than anything. Simon is busy calculating compound interest in his head from his gi-hugent bank accounts, and Randy still eloquently dishes his bon mots: "yo yo dog, what's up dog, check it out check it out, check it out dog, you brought it dog, you know I love you dog." You know I can go on for another paragraph, dog.
The latest casualty, Sligh, 28, is a Greenville, S.C. native who proclaimed he was "bringing chubby back."
"I think it's bye-bye, curly," predicted Simon Cowell, before the results were announced by Seacrest.
He can out sing any of the dudes. Why Sanjaya wasn't thrown out with the "Bathwater", is beyond me. I guess people have their reasons.
