Sundance to Ryan: Arrogant Finalist Claiming Victory
The horribly bearded Sundance Head was booted from "American Idol" last night -- and today he admits there's one cocky SOB left in the bunch.
The rejected singer was on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show, where he said one of the guys remaining on the show -- whose name he wouldn't mention -- thinks he already has the competition in the bag.
Sundance also confessed he was shocked he was kicked off -- as the pseudo-vocal stylings of Sanjaya Malakar remained in the Top 12 -- saying, "I had not prepared myself for that ... I was a little angry ... at this point I'm just bitter this morning."
Head's elimination was only the first bad news he received yesterday, as OK! Magazine reveals he received word right after the taping that his cousin died in a fire that night. The cousin, Burl Head, had given Sundance $1500 for his stay in Los Angeles during the competition.
*My guess is Blake, because I hate him.
No, it definitely has to be Chris R. He has some kind of connection to the music industry, although I don't remember what. But the impression I have is that he thinks he's got an advantage.
I record the shows every week and rewatch them a few times to check my early impressions against the contestants' progression. Every time Chris R. is on camera, his whole body language fairly shouts conceit.
He is very contemporary; very much a Justin Timberlake wannabe. As such, he may be highly marketable in today's thin ranks of male pop stars. But he is not very talented, in my opinion. On the other hand, talent is not really necessary to make it big these days.
BTW, I'm really sorry to hear about the tragedy in Sundance's family. He absolutely should not have been booted off the show. I don't normally get emotional about what happens on the show, but the longer Sanjaya stays on, the angrier I'm going to be. The AI powers that be have gone all squishy PC on us this year, and their racial/ethnic/gender quota system has graduated from a mild curiosity to a full-blown irritant. Sanjaya should NEVER have made it to Hollywood, let alone this deep into the competiton.
As much as I hate to say, my guess would be Sligh....He's already admitted he has a game plan. He studied Taylor.
