On American Idol last night, the top seven contestants sang songs dubbed to be American Classics by The Powers That Be.
But the buzz online today wasn’t on the elimination of Joey Cook or any of the covers sang by the remaining hopefuls.
It was on a classic confrontation between Quentin Alexander and Harry Connick Jr.
It started when Ryan Seacrest asked Alexander what was wrong and he replied, referring to friends Cook and Rayvon Owen being stuck in the Bottom 2:
"This sucks. We’ve got two of the best vocalists, my best friend, sitting over there, this whole thing is wack, but I’m going to shut up right now."
Connick took exception to Alexander’s take on the proceedings, firing back:
"Quentin, if it’s that wack, then you can always go home, because Idol is paying a lot of money to give you this experience and for you to say that to this hand that is feeding you right now, I think is highly disrespectful."
Shot fired, huh?
Alexander, who had started to walk backstage, immediately marched right up to the judges’ tables and got very close up to Connick Jr.
"For my personal feelings, it sucks to see two people who I’ve grown to love go home," explained Alexander. "That’s what I mean is wack. I’m not disrespecting this competition."
The famous singer/actor said that hadn’t been "clear" originally, to which Alexander shot back:
"I’m glad I got to clarify it for you."
