Kellie incident

[Drew Lipski]

On Fox’s “American Idol,” Mr. Minor’s many duties include conducting the musicians and backup vocalists as well as leading a phalanx of some 30 arrangers, orchestrators and copyists. Then there’s his work with the finalists. Under the live format, Mr. Minor can accent their strengths — or conceal their limitations — sometimes making adjustments on the spot. Another executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, recalled an incident with a young singer last season: “Kellie Pickler started a chorus two bars before she should have, and Rickey kept it solid. The audience probably never knew.”

Some do, and they will use it against her.
