That poor kid—he sure has a lot on his plate. I didn’t know about his brother. Talk about humungous stress! I hope they find out what’s causing the spike in his blood pressure.
P.S. Congrats on your new grandson!
We actually saw the ambulances initially come sometime around 12:30. Time ran a bit together hanging out forever in line, but everyone was theorizing if it was a DWTS person b/c of where in the lot it went (DWTS is basically next door to Idol on the CBS lot). The first came with sirens and the second from the other direction on Beverly but no sirens. When we went back to the second holding area, we could tell better where they were (they headed out shortly afterwards).
You’d not have known he didn’t feel well (although he, of all of them, definitely had a “too cool for school” air about him when they were all on stage together and before/after his performances).
We were surprised to read what had happened earlier this morning! And surprised they didn’t at least make him go to the hospital after the dress rehearsal since that IS taped and the film used anyway for the recaps...you’d think Idol wouldn’t want the responsibility. The DR was not long after the ambulances left, and he was the second to perform, so he could have gone soon after.
It was interesting watch the Live Show because they (other than Ramiele) were all VERY good this week at the DR and we were quite surprised. Sayesha was much better in the DR than the live show, and probably better in person than it sounded on TV. She got huge applause during the DR and was actually in tears afterwards. She wasn’t the best, but was very good...so fascinating to watch what aired (of course no one was thrilled she did the song...but she was much better than anyone would have guessed any of that group would have done with the song).
