Sundance to Ryan: Arrogant Finalist Claiming Victory

The horribly bearded Sundance Head was booted from "American Idol" last night -- and today he admits there's one cocky SOB left in the bunch.


The rejected singer was on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show, where he said one of the guys remaining on the show -- whose name he wouldn't mention -- thinks he already has the competition in the bag.

Sundance also confessed he was shocked he was kicked off -- as the pseudo-vocal stylings of Sanjaya Malakar remained in the Top 12 -- saying, "I had not prepared myself for that ... I was a little angry ... at this point I'm just bitter this morning."

Head's elimination was only the first bad news he received yesterday, as OK! Magazine reveals he received word right after the taping that his cousin died in a fire that night. The cousin, Burl Head, had given Sundance $1500 for his stay in Los Angeles during the competition.

31. First of all I'm glad Hilary made it through! I think she's gotten a rap for not being liked by Simon. Her first week was awesome and Simon slammed her for sounding like a 40 yr old. Now, Melinds Doolittle can sing, but come on, she sounds like a 50 yr old.

Now for Sundance, he really has a good voice. I think there are just too many similar types like him this year. He and Chris Sligh and Phil are kind of neck and neck. Personally I like Chris Sligh and Phil better than Sundance. My other faves are the other Chris (humble) and Blake. It's hard for me because I want them all to be good. (who does that sound like? Dawg!)

I'm a little tired of the girls already. They all want to be the next Jennifer Hudsen. I loved Dream Girls but I don't want AL to continue with the same type of songs. Lakisha is a pro and has a very controlled, beautiful voice. Why couldn't someone with a good voice sing my fave Corine Baily Rae song instead of Antonella? Why bash Hilary for sounding very broadway when it's what everyone else is singing and getting praises for.

Kudo's to AL for the giving back! It's nice to recognize that they've gotten filthy rich and now want to do some good with the PR.

32. ca girl, are you retarded or has the california sun just melted the half of your brain that worked. competition, not popularity contest, he has every right to be bitter, being left off the top 12 means he won't be on the american idol cd, being left out of the top 10 means he won't be part of the tour, both of those things generate money. i'm sure he wasn't really thinking he would win, but those other two scenarios would have given him some money. now the "competition" is left with a couple of turds mixed in with the main course

33. Sunjaya (?) should have been the one going home -- he should have gone home weeks ago. Must be all the hula dancers voting for him...

IMO tho, Sundance did totally mess up a good song. He was screaming it when he should have been singing with passion. When you take on Eddie Vedder, you need to be sure to do it right. I sure do feel bad about the bad news he recieved post-taping...

34. Sanjaya should have been eliminated, and Sundance should have stayed along with Sabrina Sloane. Even Antonella was more talented than Sajaya. He is the WORST contestant ever to be in the top 24 or even top 12.

35. I am like 99.99% sure that the "arrogant" one is Chris Sligh...I could tell that from the very beginning with his interviews...especially looking at all of their myspaces..b4 they had to delete them.

36. Sanjaya should have been the one to go, I'm not at all sure though that Sundance would make it past a few more weeks of the competition.

I wish him well, somebody offer him a job PLEASE!

37. Why can't the moderators take down the racist and homophobic comments related to Sanjaya (or anyone)? He's not my favorite either, but you shouldn't be able to slander anybody like some of these homophobes & racists commenting on here! Lots of sites ban people because of such things. Why isn't this one?!!

38. Agreed Gino. Sundance would not have won the competition, but he was better than Sanjaya by a mile. He wasn't that bad.

39. Sundance got screwed. All those little girls voting for no-talent/no-personality Sanjaya, guess they're too young to see that's he's probably gay anyway. Too bad they'll let any kid pick up a phone and vote, should be an age requirement. It is a "competition" but all he has to do is play it safe and appeal to young girls. He's taking the easy route. And to think now he's included in the "Live" tour after the show ends.

40. It's Haley! See , you don't know her name either-just like Simon. But don't feel bad-I couldn't even remember seeing her perform before. It was like I was seeing her for the first time. Hillary, Holly, Hilda, whatever- she is not better that Sabrina.

41. Sorry to hear about Sundance's cousin dying the same night he (Sundance) gets booted off this stupid show. How terrible!

If what he's saying is true, that one of the remaining guys believes he's already won the competition, said guy must be as delusional as he is tone deaf. With the exception of Hailey (who should've gone home last night), ALL the girls sing better than any of the guys. Boring boring show this year.

Sundance, your audition was awesome. Too bad every performance you gave after that sucked.

42. Wow! The whole country of India must have called in. American businesses outsource to them to handle calls. Must have been a slow evening, 'cause they all called in and voted.

43. HI EVERYONE!!!!

FIRST OF ALL, IT IS NOT BLAKE THAT SUNDANCE WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE IS A FRIEND OF MY DAUGHTER, AND HE IS THE MOST POLITE, HUMBLE GUY YOU COULD MEET.
HAVING SAID THAT, MY PREDICTION IS THAT IT WILL FINALLY COME DOWN TO BLAKE OR MELINDA DOOLITTLE. ARE THEY AWESOME, OR WHAT?

SORRY TO ADD THIS FOR THOSE NOT INTERESTED, BUT THOSE WHO ARE, LISTEN UP!
THE BAHAMIAN AUTHORITIES ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT EXHUMING DANIEL'S BODY BECAUSE THEY DID NOT TEST FOR CERTAIN THINGS!!
AHHH, THE PLOT THICKENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

44. He shouldn't be so shocked he was kicked off. He was lucky to have made it as far as he did.
