Chris Sligh called in to Ryan Seacrest of KIIS FM in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 29) to provide a recap getting kicked off ‘American Idol’ last night and why he threw down the mic to end his performance – which didn’t make it on television.
The interview audio at kiisfm.com has since been removed.
With Chris Sligh getting the boot from ‘American Idol’ on Wednesday night, speculation is in overdrive that his “Hi Dave” shout-out last week, which was edited out of the UK airing of the show, was the reason he was so coldly treated by the judges on Tuesday and was sent packing. The innocent greeting apparently was Chris answering the call to acknowledge he was a reader of VoteForTheWorst.com, which is run by Dave Della Terza – though some think it was actually for David Hasselhoff – who Sligh in his audition said he wanted to make cry. An argument against the conspiracy on the voting side was DialIdol.com nailing the bottom two – Chris and Haley Scarnato. Check out more details from BuddyTV.
