American Idol has disqualified velvety baritone contestant Jermaine Jones for concealing 2 arrests, one involving violence, and giving false names to the police on both occasions. Idol was upset because the false names he used were Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.
This isn’t Idol’s first controversy with a contestant who had a criminal history. For example, there was the season when Taylor Hicks stole the title from Katherine McFee.
Idol producers were concerned that, due to his violent criminal history, if Jermaine got mad he might pick up Ryan Seacrest and use him as a blunt object.
