Chris Medina


Many American Idol 2011 fans will remember Chris Medina. He was the incredible singer who told the story of his girlfriend, Juliana Ramos, and the car crash that left her clinging for her life. Chris’ story touched the judges and the viewers and many thought he would go really far in the competition.
That wasn’t the case.
Chris didn’t make the Top 24 and he was understandably disappointed. Since his elimination, Chris has done well. He released a single and has been performing across the US. Fans of the show thought there was a great possibility their favorite contestant would be performing on the finale special. That’s not the case either. In fact, Chris didn’t even receive an invitation to attend the finale show – not even a seat in the audience.
What did Chris have to say about the snub?
“Just found out I will not be at the finale for #AmericanIdol sad and disappointed.”
When a follower asked Chris why he would not be attending, he replied with “Not asked. Then I asked for tickets and I was told they can’t. No Harsh feelings.”
He finished with “It was my ego that was a little hurt. It’s things like that, that keep me grounded. Make me work harder.”
Do you think Chris Medina should have been invited to the American Idol Finale?
