 Alexander was then prompted by the producers to return to the stage where he approached the judges and clarified he meant the two being potentially eliminated was whack, not the show, or the experience.Later, after performing his second song, he explained "I understand that these things are going to happen, and I just didn't want my friend to leave" and apologized.Judge Jennifer Lopez empathized with Alexander's emotions running high but said that as an artist he had to learn to work through that even when it happens to put on the performance.
