Apparently it was Alex and GinanotJenna who cast the no votes! Also Caleb made a comment calling certain fans “retards” so he is in some hot water with his fans.

I don’t know how to link to the article in HTML as I’m using an iPad and have no idea how to do it.

Good morning, Bug :)

Wow ...

"[Twitter] gives access to a bunch of retards to talk to me," Caleb said, astonishingly. "I don't really enjoy having to see somebody telling me what song I have to sing. I think at this point of the competition, I can pick and choose my own songs and represent me. I don't need 10,000 people saying, 'You should sing this, you should sing that. Listen to me!' Fortunately, guys, I'm going to listen to myself, whether you like it or not."

What a jackass!

That's so much worse than what's being reported. That might cost him the win.

Nooooooo, Caleb!! Sad. I know he is probably just young and wrapped up in his music.n a lot of young people hear their friends say “gay” and “retard” for jerks. It needs to stop, because people who are homosexual just are, whether they practice their orientation or choose not to, and of course people with lower IQ certainly can’t help it either. I have one child who’s low normal and I wouldn’t appreciate him being called that. One learns through experience with kids or people like that. I wish caleb hadn’t been so thoughtless but he is young and it’s common among his age, I have another son his age. I’ve heard all that. My son rethinks those “swear words” and his sweet lil brother helps him do that.

Disappointed but still a fan and he probably is sorry.
