thanks Rob ...I did not know about this untill I watched Good Day Live..hmmm any thoughts? Mo Money maybe ? He does not want to be tied down to An AI contract and is looking for big bucks ..maybe someone already offered him a real deal? ?  *(^

tanbuns:
OMG ..... Mario has been my pick to win it for several weeks now!!!!  |(

I can't help but feel there is some fishy going on here, since even his own mother doesn't understand it. I hope Mario isn't making a huge mistake that he will regret for a long time to come!!!   }}

Rob:
He is making a huge mistake! I can't believe he wouldn't want a MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT! What a fool! He had it hands down! Maybe he was bribed to quit somehow. Maybe someone had info on him and forced him to quit.

BTW, puddin, Good Day Live is canceled after this week!

Mario is making his rounds with the press today, and was on Good Day New York (FOX 5 in NYC) and said that "'American Idol' was only positive. They were only wonderful to me, from the beginning through the middle, to the end," he told the show. "It had nothing to do with the contract or anything at all. I just needed to take care of some things in my life that needed to be focused on."

Vazquez said he wanted to surprise his mother but the media beat him to the punch. "I wanted to tell her face to face and let her know it was OK," he said.

As for his "personal reasons," Vazquez declined to elaborate.

Vazquez is still under contract with 19 Entertainment, although spokespeople for the show were not immediately able to reveal details of the contract. Past contestants have said the contract forbids them from signing with another manager or record label unless they are released from 19.

"I know I disappointed many fans, but it's all for the best, it really is, and I hope they know and understand and respect my privacy with that as well," he said. "It was a very, very hard decision, just thinking about everyone in the competition, who are my friends first, before competitors. It was a lot to think about, but my intuition told me I need to focus on personal things in my life. That meant I couldn't continue in the competition."

Vazquez did let it slip to the FOX affiliate that he "had some feelings, thinking about the process," and that "it wasn't right for me."
