I know he lied and I don't think he even deserved to be among the top 12 singers in this competition but did he deserve to have his business put on front street like this? They've kicked people off the show before without even mentioning what the problem was. I just thought it was very strange the way this was handled. BTW Joshua ripped that Percy Sledge to shreds last night. I'm picking Phil Phillips to win but Jessica Sanchez won't be far behind.
“American Idol” had cameras rolling when now-former finalist Jermaine Jones was told that he was being kicked off the show for hiding past criminal charges.
Host Ryan Seacrest mentioned the controversy briefly at the beginning of Wednesday’s show, saying producers received information from law enforcement officials “that left us with no choice but to eliminate one of our finalists from the competition. … When you’re doing a live show anything can happen.”
At the end of the hour, “Idol” aired the filmed meeting between Jones, 25, and executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick. The producers told Jones they had discovered Jones had four outstanding warrants for his’ arrest and that he had been arrested in both March and November of 2011 and gave fake names to the authorities.
