Bitter Noriega to Watch "Idol" Finale On His Couch

Posted May 17th 2008 3:10AM by TMZ Staff

Danny Noriega is on a short list of people who won't be at next week's "A.I." finale. Also on that list, this guy.

According to a YouTube post (listen to our audio - the video is kinda wonky) put up by the pissy singer, not only was Danny not invited but he was told in an email that he could not attend because, "they were full!" Danny claims he had to call four different people before he was finally given the definitive kick to the curb.

FOX had no comment on the issue.

Also- check out Danny squawking at his mom at the end of the tape.

1. I can't stand this kid. Never liked him from the get go.

He was an ok singer... but he didn't have ENOUGH talent to back up his diva attitude. The eye rolling, the head bobbing, the back taking... he annoyed me more than Sanjaya last year, and that's saying A LOT. I was SO beyond glad he didn't get too far.

Loose the diva-tude unless you can back it up.

5. Why is he asking for tickets just days before the finals? You'd think this would have been discussed weeks ago. While I think he should have been allotted one or two tickets, he sure isn't making any friends of the producers by his tantrum. Actually, the email he received sounds like the response one would get if they were just anyone. Perhaps he should have dealt with this weeks ago, don't ya think? I'm sure these tickets have been sold out for ages,.

7. Take a hint douche, nobody gives a rat's ass about you! Therefore, you are not needed at the finale. Stay home and cruise Craigslist for another boi.

9. If he wasn't such a sore bitter loser with crap attitude and was a little more humble and gracious instead, he would've been invited. You don't be a d*** to everybody and expect people to treat you nicely. By the way Danny, you were right about one thing, you did contribute to AI's ratings because people were tuning in to watch you get voted off.

14. Danny was very memorable on AI. His fame will last. He's very talented, unique, and personable. It's a complete farce that Danny was not invited to the AI finals. It's just plain shocking. Danny will get over it, though, and make a name for himself. He doesn't realize yet that he doesn't need Am. Idol at all. Put it behind you Danny and move on. You're fabulous! Be smart, make the right choices, keep your options open, and do whatever comes your way. You are WAY better than that puppet Archuleta, and more interesting than David Cook.

15. For the record....American Idol posted a poll yesterday asking which male contestant you were most excited about seeing at the finale...they listed 6 males, 5 of whom, where in the last 6 to be booted, and then Danny. He had tons of votes and actually finished in 3rd place in the poll. He was not being a diva, I'm sure it hurt his feelings because Idol did that and then didn't even give him a ticket to the show. I would be upset too! They suck.
