> I’m not going to say that David’s reason for skipping ahead to the third verse was a lie

I think it was true & don't buy the argument here about the lyrics. Those lyrics didn't hurt Lennon's career. The song is on the radio all the time with those lyrics & has been covered by many others.

I think most viewers know the contestants don't write the songs & aren't going to hold them responsible for a few words in a song.

Also, you have to realize you don't vote against people on this show, but for them... so anyone offended by David singing some lyrics would have to vote for all 9 other guys to have the effect of voting against him. People who are that offended are probably not watching or voting in the first place.
