Ousted 'Idol' says he considered quitting

GREENVILLE, S.C. Chris Sligh, the curly headed contestant from South Carolina who was voted off "American Idol," says he considered quitting the show two weeks before viewers sent him packing.

Sligh said he decided not to quit because the top 10 contestants participate in an "American Idol" summer tour that comes with a nice paycheck.

"I wanted to make the tour," he said. "I wanted to be able to make music for my living, so I don't have to work at the marketing company that I was working at."

Sligh also talked about being kicked out of the Christian fundamentalist college Bob Jones University for attending a contemporary Christian concert featuring the group 4Him.

He enrolled at another Christian school, North Greenville University, and is three credits shy of a music degree.
