Welcome back to "AI Aftermath," where we explore
Idol's past. Each week, as one more
American Idol hopeful is eliminated from the competition, we take a look back at contestants past who were eliminated in the same week. We'll examine how they did on the show and what they've been up to since their elimination. In honor of Chikezie's elimination last week we'll be looking at other tenthth place finishers.
And for the first time, we'll be able to look back at Season One as well. This week: 10th place finishers, featuring EJay Day (Season 1), Julia DeMato (Season 2), Amy Adams (Season 3), Jessica Sierra (Season 4), Lisa Tucker (Season 5) and Chris Sligh (Season 6).

In his day-after exit interview, former 'American Idol' contestant Chris Sligh revealed he almost dropped out of the competition two weeks ago because of artistic differences.
"I never came into this wanting to win it. I come from an indie / alternative rock kind of background," Sligh told TV reporters during a conference call. "For me, I think winning would hurt what I was really going for."

The rumors about a "curly-haired" boy have been circulating for weeks. According to the
Idol judges, this curly-haired boy is "the one to beat" in this year's
Idol competition.
And Tuesday night in Birmingham, we met Chris Sligh, a Jack Osbourne doppelganger, with a full head of "Justin Guarini" curls.

Are you still impressed with the auditions on American Idol?
Besides the consistently odd behavior by Paula and Simon's unimpressed look paired with his snarky comments, last night's audition process hit a predictable wall with their talent. I am convinced that if you have hair that remotely resembles Justin Guarini's and can kind of sing, you are a shoe in for Hollywood. After all, it's easier for the show to gain credibility by transforming someone who needs a lot of work than to get someone like Carrie Underwood straight off the bat.
