Ah, AI has so many types of sabotage....from wardrobe to saddling someone with a song choice that does not fit them. Out of tune back up singers. Band screw ups. Someone whispering to them before they take the stage that they were flat in rehearsal so try not to be flat now. Showing swooning teen girls around the guys. Insisting on awkward choreography. Or loud band arrangements. Bringing the competition's grandmother into it...but ignoring your family...judges talking to one another and looking bored during your performance... so many tricks.

BTW, the show tried to give P2 a push this week. The majority of people booted at top 5 sing second. Phil sang second.

They showed his girlfriend for the first time.

They gave him luke warm praise instead of true feedback that would have revved up his fanbase.

He sang a song where he could not hit the high notes.

Hey, maybe even Phil wanted to go. (Doubt it, though.)
