Elton accuses American idol to be racist. — Page 2

I think you're right on the money Jon. Also gender and confidence/manner play a role in voting as well. The more laid back contestants--John, Diana, Jasmine, George--get the most votes. And of the three divas, the easy going Latoya is clearly the most popular. The large number of teenage girls who vote are keeping John and George in and they kept in JPL for longer than he seserved as well.

I agree with Orion 59

Many people are voting for Red because he has become the victim of so many brickbats hurled at him. The talent is lacking but the spirit is there. You have to feel for the guy

Is it me or is Simon becoming the John Simon of American Idol ?

I think at the end of the season, Simon should be out naked on stage so everyone can hurl stuff at him ( like in vaudeville) or otherwise be humiliated. Besides this show, what is his claim to fame ? After idol, he probably will slink back in to well deserved obscurity

Paula Abdul, prior to idol , could not get herself arrested. Now she is a diva. My brother in law was out in LA & saw her at the show & her nose was up in the air quite high. Sorry, Namo, for parroting again but thought the folks might be interested. Sorry if I offended you.

i stopped watching after the divas were finished, was it that bad?
