SIMON COWELL SAYS EVIE CLAIR MAY NOT RETURN FOR THE FINALS!-

http://extratv.com/2017/09/13/simon-cowell-says-evie-clair-may-not-return-for-americas-got-talent-finals/ He said that if she wants to, she is more than welcome to return next year.

So they are just gonna break the rules like that? I mean, I understand that it is a family tragedy and that sucks, but the rules clearly state that once you make the live shows you are not allowed to compete again. Why would she get special treatment, and if she does, could that mean other acts like Siro-A could try out again? Evie had a death in the family. This is definitely a traumatic experience for her, so it's a good move on the show's part if they let her drop out of the competition to grieve. It's less about special treatment and more about sympathy for her and her family.
