TMZ reported last week that Jermaine Jones's dad turned up last week after abandoning him 10 years ago. And now they're reporting that Jermaine's dad claims the whole thing is B.S. According to Jermaine's dad Kevin Jones, he and Jermaine have had a good relationship throughout the years and went to dinner last week. Sounds to us like either Jermaine or Jermaine's dad is out to get attention, and it's sad when family fights like this on a national stage. It also sounds like a hack job by the Idol crew to make sure Jermaine's out in the next few weeks. Who do you believe?
Tonight, the top 13 were chosen on American Idol and it wasn't a shock at all. DeAndre, a little surprising. The rest, not so much. But we've got a LOT of VFTW potential in this group. So we're all about this cast. As long as they stop.singing.fucking.Adele.songs.now. Unfortunately Eben and Haley didn't make it... but we expected that. When we have to get our pick to be in the top 5 of 12, it's almost impossible. But now we just need to make sure our pick doesn't come in last - much easier and much more fun. Let the real games begin!
Show the new finalists a little love - almost all of them would make fun picks. But who is your favorite top 13 cast member to be the next VFTW pick? (We'll make our choice after they all sing next week)
The Idol Pad is reporting that Jermaine Jones, aka Milk Chocolate Crunch, is probably the 13th male finalist that Idol is teasing about. Jermaine is really odd, so we're ok with this. He does have a Twitter, so it makes sense. Though David Leathers has one too.
They are also reporting that there may be a 13th female contestant, and if so, it's Schyler Dixon, sister of the skunk haired skinny dude.
Why bother bringing these people back though? Didn't you cut them because they sucked? There doesn't even seem to be any reason to do this except to try to get people talking about Idol and saving its quickly dropping ratings.
Jermaine Jones is one of the top 42 contestants for American Idol 11 who we're actually excited about. He's flaming and fun and he sings and raps. He also made a picture of himself where he nicknamed himself Milk Chocolate Crunch (see: left... no we did not make this picture, he did it himself). He also has all kinds of fun pictures out there. What's not to love?
Problem is, there isn't too much on the internet about him. So if you have any more info about Jermaine or if you know him, make sure to post here and let us know. Because if he gets into the top 24, he may be a lot of fun.
