After fuming at the 'American Idol' judges over eliminating good performers week after week, the singing competition's fans' have now redirected their anger at the show's audience for repeating the same mistake. The ABC show's audience was vested with the power of deciding which of the Top 24 performers would move to the Top 20 list via their votes.

So, when the recently aired episode of 'American Idol' Season 20 revealed the results of the audience voting, fans were left fuming when Sir Blayke's elimination was announced. Following the season's strongest frontrunner Kenedi Anderson's decision to quit the show, only one contestant was going to be eliminated from group 2. While group 1 featured Scarlet Ayliz and Danielle Finn's elimination, group 2 saw Sir Blayke leave. After hearing the news of Sir Blayke's elimination angry fans took to Twitter to call out the audience for their misjudgment.
