Sundance to Ryan: Arrogant Finalist Claiming Victory

Posted Mar 9th 2007 12:08PM by TMZ Staff

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.

46. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

47. 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.

48. 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.

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

51. Sundance is latest victim of the"vote for the worst" website. He was way better than Sanjay. Freemantle needs to find a way to stop these mean spirited people from autodialing great contestants off the show...

52. i think that Sundance should have made it. maybe he can try again next year. sue, from GEORGIA....

53. I am not shocked he was voted off at all. If all the really good singers made it through and the hacks went home the show would be dull. Most people watch the show for the drama now not good singing. The show has turned into a joke. Maybe if Sundance poked Paula in the whiskers he would stil be there.

54. um, team blake, uh i don't think you should tell people on this site you have a daughter, and definitely don't tell people she's friends with blake, you're probably about ten minutes away from getting a shit ton of comments about their "friendship" and please don't start with anna nicole and her son, aren't you a little past that kind of nonesense at your age, mom

55. We'll miss you anotnella. Thank God Butch Sundance is gone. That show has gained some weight along with viewers.

56. Sundance...I am glad we dont have to look at your big fat bloated face taking up the entire tv screen anymore. You can't sing and you're fat. You should just get a job at Walmart or something.

57. Sundance's version of Jeremy wasn't that good, but everything Mogli's done has SUCKED! I wish he'd go back to India and work Dell PC support.

58. It sounds to me like Mr. Head was the one with the ego. Not the mystery guy he dropped a dime on. He's a poor loser.

59. While I don't think he should be dissing others on the show, he has every right to be bitter!! That Sanjaya person sucks!! Can you imagine standing that beside that no talent person, putting on that pouty sad face, and be the one voted off!?! I agree the the guys don't have a chance this season, Melinda and Lakisha rock, but my god America, vote the losers off, and soon!!
