He’s a Trump supporter, so not surprising

Sad thing is that I bet he wins. Country singers do amazing on these singing competition shows and him being a teenager only helps.

Plus, the vast majority of votes come in from traditional country loving Southerners. But, even if he does get the most votes, the producers will rig it so Willie is the winner, much as they did with Ruben and Clay. Side Note: have there ever been as many totally unattractive people in the AI top 5? None will "make it."

I really like the 2 girls still in it as far as talent goes. Great voices.

He left the show.

Wow, this season is so messy.

He was 13 (or 12) at the time of the video. Not sure what the context was or how much control he had over the situation. According to his mother, the friend was dressing up as the character from The Strangers.

He was booted off the show yesterday. Every other contestant’s original songs were put up for pre-order/pre-save last night, but his noticeably wasn’t.

Does this mean that Clay Aiken can take his place?

People still watch this show?

He gave me the creeps. The CREEPS.

Will the show be bringing back its most recently eliminated contestant to replace this guy?

Not sure they can. The finalists are releasing singles this week. It’s probably too late for the number six finisher to get that done.

What blows me away is I cannot name one person after the 2009 Adam Lambert season to have a career.

Hunter Metts obviously was robbed, he should never have been booted from the show. If it wernt for the judges pushing for the obese black guy or the chick with the gigantic hips, they would both already be gone, as they should be!

Hunter Mets has a really good voice and is so pretty to look at — there’s star quality there that others in the top 5 don’t have.

Caleb never belonged there. Zero personality, zero stage presence. The young girl, Casey, is overrated and nothing special. Grace with the enormous hips and ass wouldn’t be there without those enormous hips and ass. Chance is great looking with a strong voice, but I don’t see a big star there.

Willie is my choice this season, though I don’t think he’ll be a household name.

And yes, the ratings are still good, so it’s in no danger of cancellation.

I don't think this can be considered a real story until FOUR threads are created about it..It's right there in the DL Bylaws. On page 47..

Same! I’m glad you mentioned that. His personality is very off. I didn’t like it.

Both Arthur and Hunter recorded and are releasing an original as well.

But still, I don’t think they are bringing anyone back.

I fail to see the problem.

Poor kids these days raised by iPhones. They’re doomed. Can you imagine their lives when they reach their midlife crisis? I predict lots of suicides. When I was young. we rode hundred of miles on our bicycles, played outside until dark, played board games and put puzzles together, and went to bed tired at night. These young robots programmed by social media and gaming seem miserable.

And we still haven’t found out why Wyatt had to leave the competition? Also Cecil Ray arrested, exposed as a domestic abuser, and discovered his “doing this for my daughter” was likely fake.

Wow, this season is a clusterfuck.

I think Chayce Beckham could win. If not, he can sit on my face.

Way to live up to a stereotype. Yikes.

This season went completely down the shitter when Wyatt was booted (supposedly for breaking covid rules) and Hunter was robbed. There is not a single contestant left with listening to, much less looking at!

Also, Benson Boone, who was a fan favorite, dropped out after making it to the top 24.

If he was 12 he really shouldn’t be punished for that. And he didn’t have the hood on.

by Anonymousreply 34May 14, 2021 12:47 AM

He was rather homely looking, should have been gone a long time ago!

He’s a Trumper. Good riddance.
