Controversies/Shocks of the past with more this season!

[ Edited ]

The show has definitely had its shocking moments and controversy across the seasons, and I am sure there will be more to come. As a two part question, can I ask what is the most controversial issue or shocking moment from the past that sticks in your mind, and what do you think could happen this year to match it?  Is it the elimination of Chris Daughtry or Tamyra Gray perhaps that really shocked you, the continued success of Sanjaya despite a slight lack of talent in the vocal dept! or is there a particular moment that had your eyes open in dis belief?

 

As for this season, what do you think might happen that could match your most shocking memories from the past? Is Randy actually going to come out wearing a shirt that befits a man of his age, will Steve Tyler announce intentions to join the priest hood, or will Jessica be eliminated before the semi finals? 

 

As for my own opinion, the most shocking moment from the past that I easily remember; is the elimination of Latoya London whilst Jasmine Trias remained. Jasmine was a beautiful and pleasant enough contestant, but vocally was very weak as far as I'm concerned. However,  Latoya had been a consistently good performer (one of the best not to have made it to the final) As for this season, an unforgettable and controversial incident has already happened, with Steve's comment to Shannon's father "hot, humid and happening - just like your daughter".  I would though, be even more shocked if Jessica went before the semi final.

Well, as far as eliminations go, not too much beats Daughtry, but the elimination of Michael Johns was pretty shocking.  And also that of Pia.  However, for each one of them, I actually knew in the back of my mind that it was going to happen.  I knew that Chris' Elvis performances were great, but not as good as other stuff that he had done and that people were going to be voting like crazy to save Katherine and Elliot just had an amazing night.  Michael Johns was first and there was question as to whether or not Dream On was truly an inspiriational song, though he did blow it out of the box and what a wonderful song to go out on.  And I always told my friends that if Pia ever sang and upbeat song, she'd be gone.

 

As far as other controversy, which we seem to be not wanting to talk about, I was just annoyed when pictures surfaced of Antonella Barbarella or whatever her name was and there were no reprecussions at all, when other contestants who had similar photos got kicked off (Frenchie).  But I guess America took care of that.  Also, I was annoyed when David Hernandez got kicked off right after his past employment was known.

Most Shocking Elimination- Pia Toscano. As a fan it really hurted to see her go THAT early after a great performance. I was literally stunned and stuck during that moment. Was waiting for Ryan to call it a season joke. Really messed with me, that elimination.

 

If Jessica or Joshua get the boot that soon, I'd be shocked depending upon their performance. After Pia's I know that anything is up in the air when it comes to who stays and goes.

 

Controversy- One word...Adam

There was a big controversy in season 9 I think, when a guy was chosen, then it was discovered that he was under contract already.  Can't remember the guy's name, but that is how Tim Urban ended up in the top 24.  Oh yeah, Chris Golightly I think was his name.  All his fans were raising heck on the boards about it.

Re: Controversies of the past with more this season!

For me the biggest shock was Pia leaving last season, did not see that one coming. I know a whole lot of people think Chris Daughtry leaving in top 4 was the shock of the century but it wasn't for me, I like Chris and he's done amazing things and he has amazing talent, and all that but at the time I wasn't shocked. but then I am a Taylor Hicks fan so it was ok then... I was a bit overly suprised that Kris won season 8, I so wanted him too and knew he was great and all that but really didn't think he would have beat Adam..

I mean I know Daughtry's elimination was like OMG 0_0, but at least he made it super far. Pia got booted like right off the bat it seems lol. Poor girl. I hope her career takes off.

Seen Pia singing the National Anthem at the Nascar race this past Sunday, she sounded as good as ever and looked better.. She'll go great in her future.
