Disappointed to see American Idol lost what could possibly have been their "second Carrie Underwood".

Total package-talented and marketable.

I have no info,but have a "bad" feeling about the reason.

Sure hope I am wrong.

Of course,the reason may never be made public or may not come out for quite some time.

Really has put a "damper' on this Season with what many considered the favorite(including the judges) already gone.

Yeah I was sad to see her go but have no idea why.

They have a lot of talent this year. When the 3 platinum winners sang together in Hollywood I thought the rest can go home…lol

DH and I just watched last night. We wondered what happened as well.

I think it's most likely she decided to move on to other opportunities. It's happened before. She'll probably be pretty quiet until this season concludes, and then her record, modeling or whatever deal will be revealed.

Great point.

But still what could be larger,at this early stage of her Career,than the AI full Season exposure.

I just can't think of something being offered to her now that wouldn't still be there after the Season is over.

If that is the case,to me that would be a bad mark on her Character to not follow through on her AI commitment.

I don't agree with the strategy. But some contestants (or those around them) feel they retain more control over their futures by not continuing.
I think Benson Boone did something similar last season.

Looks like you nailed it.

Very not cool-to me at least.

And,also to my way of thinking,very unethical to "use" AI to gain notoriety and then back out on the "commitment" she made to the show(she knew how AI "works" going in).

Who knows-it may backfire on her.

I was very fired up to follow her Career-now not so much.

That is an interesting article, thanks for the link. I guess we'll see how it all turns out down the road.

Don't they sign some sort of contract to go on the show, that says they can't sign with someone else for a certain amount of time?

At first, I felt bad for her, wondering if something horrible happened in her family. Now I just see her as a spoiled high-school kid, trying to skirt the rules.

The Judges have weighed in-they seem to point to "anxiety" but probably just don't want to say what they really think is the reason!

I don't know she's a kid...so I guess I don't really care the reason she left a tv show. If she felt it was for the best so be it.

Having said that, I work in a high school and there have been SOOOO many more teens who have been struggling with anxiety. I could definitely see that as the issue for her, but again it doesn't really matter to me when we're talking about a teenager making a choice of what they feel is best for them...especially in terms of to continue with a tv show or not.
