He's 17 and getting closer to 18. Yeah, he pulled a switcheroo during
the live show. Tossed, perhaps that's going a bit too far (?). But
some kind of punishment is in order for purposely disregarding the
rules. Even if his father hadn't said he wanted it different and he
sang out of the blue to the surprise of AI and the world, he still
needs a strike against him because he's not following the rules. Some
kind of punishment sets precedence. Puni****ng him sends a message to
future-contestants that "you better not try this". It'd actually be a
world of chaos if other contestants could bend the rules. Going beyond
the minute and a half time limit... starting all over again because
you messed up the intro (which a different contestant did). We don't
need rebels. We need robotic conformity from our A.I. contestants,
because that's what they signed up for when they auditioned for the
show.
There's A LOT of stupid rules on American Idol. Having these old
crooners 40 years older than the contestants (who the **** needs a
Dolly Parton or a Neil Diamond as a coach?, let alone singing their
dippy songs on a theme night??????) is dumb. But it's the hoops you
gotta jump through to snag the crown.
