A top 10 ‘Idol’ had nearly quit earlier
From the Associated Press
Chris Sligh, the curly-headed contestant from South Carolina who was voted off “American Idol” this week, said he considered quitting the show two weeks before viewers sent him packing.
“I never came into this wanting to win it,” Sligh told the Greenville News in South Carolina. “I made the top 10. That was my goal.”
Sligh said he decided not to quit because the top 10 contestants participate in an “American Idol” summer tour that allows him to continue singing for a nice paycheck.
