Wednesday night’s ‘American Idol’ saw EJ Day get the fewest amount of votes with Jim Verraros getting the second fewest votes. That means the two are out of the competition. You gotta wonder if fans confused AJ Gil with EJ, as he and Jim were by far the poorest performances.
Meanwhile, the other ‘J’, RJ Helton, was involved in an accident following last night’s show. Access Hollywood reports that RJ fell off the stage shortly following Tuesday’s show screaming “I can’t move! I can’t move!” He had slipped and fell about three feet, landing in a constructed hole in the stage. Lying motionless, fellow contestants Tamyra and Justin rushed to his side. Tamyra said, “We knew he was going to be okay, and we prayed for him. And everything is great. Everything turned out fine.” Ryan Starr added, “He was walking, and the stage was really complex. Lot of lights, holes and monitors and dangerous stage. And they told us to be careful, ’cause some people fell in the crew already.”
Everyone was then rushed out of the area. The contestants were brought to the red room, where they were witnessed hugging, crying and visibly shaken. All the while, R.J. Still motionless on the floor, being attended to by paramedics. R.J. Was then brought to the emergency room, where X-rays showed there were no serious injuries, though he did suffer a lower back sprain. He was then brought to Cedars-Sinai for another checkup. That’s were he voluntarily spent the night.
