I know this comment is 9 years too late but like you I actually thought this dudes first single Gallery was great and wondered why nothing else came out until I searched on Google one day and saw that he had some allegations of sexual harassment or something from not one but like 2 women which was pretty shocking because his personality and nature seems like he gives off a vibe that he’s a good and soft spoken dude-but I guess that played a role in the end of his time in AI and his music career in general. Waste of talent IMO.
@@yungog2o3 Shortly thereafter, Vasquez mysteriously dropped out of "Idol," citing personal reasons. Which was that he had gotten a sexual assault charge. From TMZ: Former "American Idol" finalist Mario Vasquez is facing accusations that he tried to masturbate in front of a male employee in a bathroom on the set of the hit show in February 2005.
I wonder what Mario is doing now? I also wonder how much the Freemantle company that owns the show, Simon Cowell I believe is apart of that. But I wonder how much they paid the Victim of Mario's decrepit behavior. It has been reported that the judge dismissed the case from being heard by a jury and made a ruling that the decision be ARBITRATED! So that means, PAY THE VICTIM!
If he wasn't pulled out he and carrie would have an epic SHOWDOWN in the finale and he might be the winner and underwood the runner up! THE BEST FINALE NEVER HAPPENED= CARRIE VS. MARIO
I guess Simon, Paula, and Randy never heard the Invincible album or read the album credits because they would know this song and know that Mario did background on the song.
that’s crazy. of all the songs in the world it had to be a song by michael jackson, my favorite artist! btw “whatever happens” is such an underrated song❤️
yeah, he originally made the final 12, but withdrew before it started due to personal controversy involving the producers...nobody truly knows the full story but he still got far in his career anyways
Don't NEVER EVER SAY! "This is the new Micheal Jackson" NOBODY! AND I MEAN NOBODY! Can NEVER Be "The new Micheal Jackson" WE HAVE ONE MJ! AND HE WILL ALWAY LIVE IN OUR HEART!
@godswiph the contract they sign is only applicable in the top 12. and they have changed that contract since that year because of what happened with mario.
@Dylano33 That was all I knew from what I had heard. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he did get a record deal. I thought his audition was really good.
"whatever happens" by michael jackson off his "invincible" album. i think carlos santana collaborated with him. interesting side note...don't know if this is true or not but i heard somewhere that mario did backup vocals on the original recording before his idol appearance.
@melirose89 Actually, they found out that he lied about his age and was over the cut off for the competition. They graciously allowed him to say that he was stepping away to help his family, though.
@Kimzyen he decided to quit the show cuz he thought Idol was gonna control his music and career too much. but he gave the excuse that he wanted to help his sick mother. that was bs. he still signed with the Sony label like every other idol (which doesnt make sense since he didnt wanna be controlled by them) Anyways he came out with a song called Gallery making him a one hit wonder and the fabulous Carrie Underwood wound up winning his season even tho he was a early frontrunner :\
@TheKrystahlPhoenix yeah i agree, his voice is amazing. i was just trying to give you more information on the situation, when i reread it, it sounded kind of rude and mean so sorry if it came off that way.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's right. Because if you stay on the show you basically have to sign a contract with their labels and probably make less money, so he probably got a better offer and decided to quit the show to take that offer. Coulda been family problems too though but I doubt it.
@Dylano33 thats not true either... they sign a contract saying that they can't do that. there's a side to this story that we'll probably never hear. thats CONFIDENTIALITY for ya.
@TheKrystahlPhoenix couldn't handle the pressure? haha he was the top guy in the competition. he had to drop out because of "family reasons" however a rumour went around that it was because he got a record deal, hense the song gallery.
@MusicallyUbiquitous If I remember, he ended up quitting about halfway through. He got pretty far, but ended up dropping out because he couldn't handle the pressure.

In my opinion, one of the top auditions on Idol.
He's freaking amazing.

I guess Simon, Paula, and Randy never heard the Invincible album or read the album credits because they would know this song and know that Mario did background on the song.

yeah, he originally made the final 12, but withdrew before it started due to personal controversy involving the producers...nobody truly knows the full story but he still got far in his career anyways
1:15 "I me I yumee I j` just- WOW!" great comment Abdul

DAT VOICE! DAMN!
i think i read somewhere that background vocals were sung by Mario and thats why he picked this song for his audition

He’s so cute

@godswiph the contract they sign is only applicable in the top 12. and they have changed that contract since that year because of what happened with mario.

Whatever Happens by MJ
What has he been doing these days? Haven't heard from him for a long time.
Nah this is crazy 😂😂🔥🔥
@Dylano33 That was all I knew from what I had heard. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he did get a record deal. I thought his audition was really good.
En esta Galeria oh yeah
"whatever happens" by michael jackson off his "invincible" album. i think carlos santana collaborated with him.
interesting side note...don't know if this is true or not but i heard somewhere that mario did backup vocals on the original recording before his idol appearance.
❤️❤️❤️
This song it's Whatever happens de Michael Jackson
agreed
he's MJ "whatever happens" back vocal . in album invincibile
Mj whatever happens
@melirose89 Actually, they found out that he lied about his age and was over the cut off for the competition. They graciously allowed him to say that he was stepping away to help his family, though.
yep. exactly why.
@tiarakf ...Yes, that's why he dropped out of the competition... he got his deal. But, I think Gallery was the only song he really had.
is it me or does he look like wilmer valderama?
Guess it was just you lol
he looks so young))))
His 27? I thought he was like 23 lol......
his song gallery is catchy though...haha
@tiarakf yup lol
@Kimzyen he decided to quit the show cuz he thought Idol was gonna control his music and career too much. but he gave the excuse that he wanted to help his sick mother. that was bs. he still signed with the Sony label like every other idol (which doesnt make sense since he didnt wanna be controlled by them) Anyways he came out with a song called Gallery making him a one hit wonder and the fabulous Carrie Underwood wound up winning his season even tho he was a early frontrunner :\
what song is it?
@melirose89 i know. he was one of my favs. i still think Carrie Underwood would have won but Mario would have made it interesting.
he sounds like drew seeley!!!!!!!
@TheKrystahlPhoenix yeah i agree, his voice is amazing. i was just trying to give you more information on the situation, when i reread it, it sounded kind of rude and mean so sorry if it came off that way.
The song was actually written for this guy, but it ended up on Michael Jackson's album.
Where is he now ?
Dezmadrez I got the same question here
@1robotcone3 what? wow i never heard about that. thats interesting
top comment was 2 years ago?...seems like youtube hasn't even had the thumbs up or down option that long lol
@1robotcone3 Nonsense.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's right. Because if you stay on the show you basically have to sign a contract with their labels and probably make less money, so he probably got a better offer and decided to quit the show to take that offer. Coulda been family problems too though but I doubt it.
@Dylano33 thats not true either... they sign a contract saying that they can't do that. there's a side to this story that we'll probably never hear. thats CONFIDENTIALITY for ya.
Whatever happened to this guy?
doesnt mean hes gay
@freestylepurple yea shit's nasty
why did he drop out agen
Paula just came
@TheKrystahlPhoenix couldn't handle the pressure? haha he was the top guy in the competition. he had to drop out because of "family reasons" however a rumour went around that it was because he got a record deal, hense the song gallery.
he looks like fez
@MusicallyUbiquitous If I remember, he ended up quitting about halfway through. He got pretty far, but ended up dropping out because he couldn't handle the pressure.
haha me neither
