American Idol: A Contestant Stumbles Off Stage. Nigel Lythgoe Like it!

American Idol Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe, who was already in the news this week for calling “The Voice” gimmicky, ends yesterday’s episode of “Idol” with a scene of someone falling off the stage.

…..if that ain’t the pot calling the kettle black!!

I’m assuming that the contestant was alright because Nigel jokes about it later on twitter.

WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS…..

The contestants name is Symone Black a 16 year old for Cali.  She was actually quite good as she song her rendition of “Sitting on the dock of the Bay”.   After her song she runs her hands through her hair, takes two baby steps forward as she starts to lose her balance, and then falls off stage.

The camera flashes and she was ooouttt!! Everyone runs over , they call for the paramedics and the credits start rolling.  Drama for dat ass!!

NIGEL HITS TWITTER

Fans are getting themselves all riled up, asking Fox to issue a preshow statement.  Are you serious???

Why would you tune in tonight if they did that.  After hearing all the feed back, Nigel Lythgoe tweeted,

“I know you’re all going crazy, You’ll have to wait until (Thursday). That’s why I’m a mean producer.”

For those who thought it was a cliffhanger, Nigel disagrees.

 “It’s not a ‘cliffhanger.’ She didn’t hang, she fell,”

I love this Nigel guy almost as much as Simon!

Here is the clip in its entirety.
