Well the 24 finalists are about to be chosen, Simon is ready for his last season, and Ellen is up to the challenge. American Idol is sparked with controversy as one Golden Ticket winner will not be in the “Hollywood” round this Tuesday.

dhayes-288x300Danielle Hayes, a contestant from Seattle Washington, gave a remarkable performance that landed her a coveted “Golden Ticket” that should have guaranteed her a spot on the show. Not so fast though as show producers have confirmed Danielle was not in the show tonight. When CMR contacted Danielle all we could get was that she could not comment due to “contract restrictions”.  All references to Hayes have been removed from the American Idol web site. This seems odd and even Idol executives are keeping strangely silent on the matter. So what happened to one of the best contestants we have seen this year.

    She wasn’t all that great, so who cares?

    Yeah, didn’t really care for her. She was shouty in her audition and not really original I thought.

    We saw a Keith Semple in Chicago week who I have researched who possibly could have won the whole thing, and he is no where to be found in hollywood week, He walked off with a golden Ticket. If you check out his bands website they are excellent. http://www.7thheavenband.com.
