mario vasquez. fan favorite to win the competition
has withdrawn from the competition due to
"personal reasons" no more is known about his departure
except that it was sudden and that
nikko smith will take the open slot left by this departure.


expect more details during Idol this week.

personal reasons? sounds suspicious..

oh. i didn't like him.

i am interesting knowing more about this...to google i go!!

yea i heard about this on KISS FM... -.- this one guy said he thought it was because Mario has a criminal record that's about to come out...

fan favorite? uhh...no. GO BO!

he quit huh? lol I wonder why...most people would kill to be in the top 12. But i never really liked him so much, my mom thinks he's the best on the show so she'll be all upset lol. But i'm glad Nikko is taking his place, Big suprise for him, huh?

aw, too bad.

i heard this on the radio and i was so happy! Mario was actually one of my least favorites >__< and i'm SO glad that Nikko is taking his spot, Nikko really deserves it! I was so upset when he didnt intially make it into the top 12! but im glad that they are giving him this oppurtunity, everything happens for a reason :D

Nikko rox my sox
and mario.....blehhhh

Nikko rox my sox
and mario.....blehhhh

edit/// sorry for the double post my cpu froze

I heard that Mario got a record deal....

i heard about this, but i have never watched american idol so i don't really care. some of my friends at school were saying he was good last week though.

Mario quit? How stupid, most people would do anything to be in the top 12.

hey yeah i just read an article about how he dropped out. i wanted him to go far, he was such a cutie, and he could sing. but does anyone really care for the show? anyways nikko smith will be replacing him.

good mario deserves the new record deal he got... american idol owns too much of everyone

nikko should have made it anyways

Mario withdrew himself because of the time commitment and pressure of American Idol. :/ At least that's what I heard.

He was one of my favorites, too! Boo.

wasn't he that twin guy?

Topics Merged.

I'm kinda glad he left because now Nikko gets a second chance. I felt that he was robbed when he wasn't able to move forward to the top 12. He deserves to be there... more than Constantine that's for sure.

ahh~ finally, someone agrees with me! I was so upset after watching the result show last Wednesday. Constantine does NOT deserve to be in the top 12! >__< he has SO many fans though, only because he is representing "rock". Him selling out his band made me lose MORE respect for him -__-

wow i should've seen american idol. i dont know it bored me out...but the girl who was like 13 or 15..did she go to the next level? the outgoing, energetic girl... who said to the judge guy "if i lose, you have to go to my senior prom with me" lol... i hope she was kidding. he's like an old man ehh.... anyways, mario..he sounds familiar cause i saw like 2 episodes of american idol. is he the guy with funky hair?

I know, right. I mean, if you're going to vote for someone who represents rock, Bo is 10 times better than Constantine.

im glad nikko's back... i never really 'got' mario

ah well, he's got enough fame now that someone's bound to pick him up. it's all good

It's sad that when I woke up 2 days ago this was a top story on the radio, hahahah.

I am just happy that Nikko Smith is back. I really thought that he should have went to the top twelve before Scott.

No one, not even his mother or brother really knows what going on with Mario. But I don't watch American idol so don't really care.

yeah me too! intially, after watching Scott's first audition- it was like WOW! I thought his voice was just, absolutely beautiful! and I was very happy to see that he made the final 24 too! However, when it came around to the American viewers voting show-- he kind of lost his "spark" his voice is still beautiful but I just don't see the charisma that he had like his first audition. However, Nikko and Anthony has improved A LOT and I can see them lasting for a very long time on AI.

and xquizit: i know what you mean! Bo is TEN times better than Constant Scream! Bo has this unique voice to him! he doesn't deserve to be standing there as this season's top twelve best singers in America >__<

Oh yeah i heard about that. I really liked him...but im also glad Nikko came back.. he got lucky.

He's withdrawing??
Oh well. I didn't like him anyway.
But Amanda got off ! >=[ Grr!

someone said he looked like Wilmer Vanderrama, and he does!

it's sad..i really wanted him to win..he's H-O-T..especially with his hat OFF..but oh well.

Constantine's scream/screech annoys the heck out of me. I saw him on tour in Rent, and he was HORRIBLE. :( Ruined the part of Roger for me.

If anyone should be out of the top 12, it should be Scott. Something about his personality just bothers me. >< But I'm glad Nikko's back. :)

I personally liked Marios singing but I agree with Roxy Bo is so much more better than Constantine... they should of got rid of at least one rocker!

I loved Mario =[ I went all blah when I heard he was withdrawing.

I am glad that Nikko got a chance though. He's pretty good. I wish Constantine was off....his song choices are crap and he's not that great.

yeah i heard that too.

he looks like fez from that 70s show

Personal reasons? Well, I didn't like him too much. He was to....blahhh for me

That's what i heard too. But i think he quit because of sumtin else. :\

nah he quit cause he got a record deal... american idol basically owns your whole contract even after you get signed... which is unfair... so it was a good move

Yeah!!I heard he's gay!!And there's a lot of evidence that me might be gay!!Go to www.yahoo.com lots of info

He was the only reason I even watched American Idol

eh. it doesn't really matter to me this year because i really haven't been watching it that much. but i think he was one of my favorites.... i will watch the show to hear more.

i heard he had an affiar with travis tucker O.o
i also heard he signed with pdiddy

will we ever know the truth? not if mario has his way with things

rofl an Affair with Travis Tucker....hahahhahahah
