Let me just say that there’s no way this is true. I just think it is way funny that after all off the strict rules AI has, that Ryan Seacrest would be the one to release a spoiler. LMAO. FYI, Angela Martin got cut again this year and DID not make the top 24. So the article that is on Ryan’s site is either someone’s attempt and throwing doubt on MY TOP 24 LIST, or whoever writes Ryan’s news stories is an idiot. However, with all of the sorrow that Ms. Martin has faced, AI is going to look like crap for giving her the boot yet again. The actual top 12 girls better be on their best behavior, as I am sure AI is looking for any excuse to get Angela into the top 24.
Here’s the article:
‘American Idol’ Top 24 Contestant Seeking Missing Mother
The third time’s supposed to be a charm. But for three time American Idol golden ticket holder, Angela Martin, her trip to Hollywood has once again been cursed. This time, by the mysterious disappearance of her 53 year old mother. Angela called Ryan’s radio show Friday to aid in the search for her mother.
According to police in Illinois, Viola Brown Martin was traveling to Martin’s older sister’s home after Christmas, but she never arrived. Her abandoned car was discovered on December 30th in south Chicago, a day after the family filed a missing persons report with the Glenwood, IL Police Department.
Angela Martin, who competed in Chicago, was voted through to Hollywood during last week’s episode…for the third time. At 28, this is Martin’s last shot at becoming the next American Idol. The single mother of a special needs daughter has made it no secret she’s hoping to launch a music career, in part, to provide for her young daughter. But, her trip to the finals has been haunted time and time again.
Anyone with information on Viola Brown Martin’s whereabouts is asked to call 1-800-CRIME-TV

JoesPlace, I’ve always thought the situation with Angela was weird. They know who she is and what she sounds like – why would they put her through just to dump her? Why would the producers waste their time on her? I don’t know – maybe Ryan got the okay to spill (or feels pretty secure in his job) or the reporter who wrote this got it wrong. I wonder if she quit because of her mom. Is there any possibility you got your wires crossed somewhere on this one?
I’m really surprised they have not shown any of her in hollywood round. They made a big deal about, and then it’s like she just disappeared. But she has made it to the top 50 into the chair round, as they said on group night. Maybe something is wrong with the top 24 list, because she is a strong contender, and if she didn’t do good she wouldn’t have made it this far
Angela has gone through a lot when she has gone to hollywood round. Her dad died the week before, she got a ticket, and now her mom missing. But i have hope that ryans story may be true. Spoilers are never 100 percent true, and like you said, they would look like jerks if they didn’t put her through. She has a strong voice, and she is in the top 50, so we’ll have to wait and see
Are you absolutely positive you got this one right? Angela killed it tonight with “American Boy”. The judges love her, it doesn’t seem to make sense that she’d be cut. Especially over other contestants who forgot words and faltered earlier on in Hollywood week.
Patrick, yes, I am absolutely sure it is correct. Sorry!!!
