In reply to deltaphilly. No. Apology not excepted. It certainly won't be "forgotten" as you suggest. Voters please vote for the person who is not only talented, but deserves to represent our youth as The American Idol. Caleb has more than proved he is not worthy of the title. I could go on and on, as many (most other fans and posters) agree with me, but I won't give this loser any more attention. He is gone this week, and if not, I doubt he will win in the end. Caleb is a loser in more ways than one.

I think Caleb is talented ,I also have found him to be thankless to others,arrogant and generally pretty obnoxious and that was before he insulted,his fans,his town,etc.. Didn’t care for his term yeah whores and drugs when he’s a rock star and home in Asheville. it doesn’t take much to be nice and to be humble. There are approximately 100,00 who try out for Idol. Show some appreciation and grace to go along with your awesome voice.No fans and you have no career.. Caleb

First of all, I think all the contestants are thrust into a media world that they can’t possibly be prepared for in just a few weeks. A few months ago they were going to school or working labor jobs. I don’t believe Caleb meant to abuse or ridicule anyone. I believe his remark was a result of unpreparedness, exhaustion, and frustration from his first negative remarks from the judges and from having to make a decision concerning sending one of his friends home that week. I’m sure it was very stressful for all the contestants to be put in that position, but Caleb was the one who was
interviewed shortly after being put in that position. He has apologized and the incident, which I feel sure was not intentionally malicious under the circumstances that it was made, should be forgotten. Voting should
be based on his talent and not this unfortunate incident. Voters please vote for the person who is best each week and let the best performer win.
