| American Idol Discussion Turns Violent |
But should it lead to violence - of course not. But in New York - that has allegedly happened.
A man named Cory K. Favreau took offense to his mother's comment about Katharine McPhee and how she would be successful despite losing to Taylor Hicks, according to a published report.
He then struck her with a chain.
The Plattsburgh Press Republican carries this bizarre story:
***
Cory K. Favreau, 24, of 200A Margaret St. was discussing the television show "American Idol" with his mother, Jan M. Chagnon, on May 24 at about 10:15 p.m., according to Plattsburgh City Court records.
At that time, Chagnon told Favreau that a particular contestant, Katharine McPhee, was going to have a successful career despite losing to another contestant, Taylor Hicks.
Favreau allegedly stood up, made a malicious comment to his mother and struck her in the head with a sharpened, cross-shaped object attached to a bicycle chain.

Wow - lighten up and stop drinking while watching Idol.
Certainly neither Taylor Hicks Or Katharine McPhee want people to resort to violence in their defense. It's only a talent show and is meant to be fun.
