... the hell?

Dude, I only JUST noticed something about last night's Idol results due to a YouTube comment.

Okay, you know when Ryan Seacrest says, "And your top twelve guys!" and they're all on stage? Tim Urban isn't there. Chris Golightly -- that guy with the light blond Justin Guarini hair -- is on the far right next to Todrick.

Did I miss a news story or something?

Wasn't there a guy who got kicked off for blabbing to the press about making the top 24 before the show aired?

ETA: Ah, OK, nevermind. I should read up more on this stuff before I comment. *facepalm* I'm guessing the top twelve guys bit was filmed before Chris got kicked off, and the individual dancing bits were done after?

Ugh, that sucks. If they were going to replace him with someone, I would have preferred Thaddeus. *pouts*

I don't even *remember Tim, his audition, or anything. Thaddeus totally should have been the one. :\

Turns out Golightly was part of the top twelve guys, but AI found out he had an old contract with another music group that expired the month before he tried out for AI but he didn't disclose it. So, when the group shot was filmed, he was in. When they introduced the twelve guys individually, Tim Urban was in. Why, I have no idea.

Well, that makes sense, I suppose. Although I wish they would have picked someone other than that dimestore Zac Efron to replace him.

I really hope Thaddeus realizes after mourning the loss of a top 24 spot this year that they practically screamed at him, "Try again next year, for the love of everything holy, you're really really good."

The same with Shelby. I hope she actually watched the episode the other night and saw Simon mention after she left the theater that cutting her was a mistake.

He was the one who butchered David Cook's Come Back to Me on day one of Hollywood.

Tim Urban will feel my wrath for butchering a David Cook song. I mean ... what?
