Mario Quits!

Latest: I just spoke to someone who spoke to Mario Vazquez over the phone this afternoon. Mario is alright and thanks everybody for the support. He said he had to withdraw due to family reasons. Then he proceeds to sing Bohemian Rhapsody to her which is just freakin awesome.

My wish is that one day, I will also get to talk to Mario. (We'll so miss you on the show... what am I going to do? *sob*)

The latest news from the forum

Mario Vazquez drops out of American Idol

OMG

Nikko Smith is IN

The front page of FOX's official site has Nikko instead of Mario. This is SOOOOO disappointing!

OMG

Mario! Noooooooooo! Don't go!

Why??? Why?? Whaaaa-yyy?

Some news bits I've gotten:

NIKKO SMITH RETURNS TO THE COMPETITION
AS MARIO VAZQUEZ WITHDRAWS FROM “AMERICAN IDOL”

Smith Competes as Member of Top 12 Tuesday, March 15, on FOX

Recently eliminated semifinalist Nikko Smith has rejoined AMERICAN IDOL as Top 12 contestant Mario Vazquez has withdrawn from the competition for personal reasons. Smith was chosen to return because he received more votes than Travis Tucker during last week’s competition, when the men were reduced from 8 to 6 performers. He joins the competition immediately and will compete as a member of the Top 12.
