Strange story here. Akron Watson tried out for Idol in San Antonio and made it to the next round of auditions in Hollywood. But now the show is reneging on the deal. The producers say he can’t go to L.A. And no one at Fox has given Akron a reason why. The dude has a pot conviction, but, c’mon, he’s a wanna-be rock star. Pot is hardly grounds for expulsion.
And as Pegasus News tells us, other Idol finalists have certainly done worse.
