The guys don't seem so strong this season, do they? Judges have had a few harsh words as well. Perhaps they will improve. It'll be interesting to see them all start suddenly getting gradually more attractive each week from now on lol.gif

The guys aren't really impressive this time. I'm really glad that Rudy was voted off, he was Mr Smarmy. (That Indian guy - is he really a guy? Talk about effeminate). Some of them surely know they have no chance, it must be difficult carrying on....

Antonella is getting lots of attention it seems:

 

POINT PLEASANT, N.J. - A close friend of “American Idol” contestant Antonella Barba says that the aspiring singer is not the subject of some graphically sexual pictures purported to be of her that were posted on the Internet last week.

 

The pictures include one of four women posing topless at the beach, their hands covering their breasts, and others of a woman engaged in a sexual act. The postings were anonymous.

 

Barba’s best friend, Amanda Coluccio of Holmdel, with whom she auditioned and won a trip to Hollywood for the second round before being eliminated, told The Star-Ledger of Newark that the less graphic photos are of Barba, but denied she is pictured in the pornographic ones.

The problem is we are "behind" by a few weeks so I don't want to read AI news. It might spoil the big of fun. This year doesn't seem as good as last year though definitely.

 

A friend send this to me which has some interesting stuff on

I am sorry to admit I am actually watching American Idol this season.

 

I hope Missus Doolittle wins(I forget her first name) she always looks like she is shocked where she is but she is by far one of the best singers.

 

I am also sorry to admit that I have almost the same hairstyle as Sanjaya. As I am leaving my hair grow long, but it keeps breaking at the top and is really pissing me off.

 

The contestant I miss the most is the girl whos father tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head and lived. She was a country girl and was so hot.

Really. The clip showed Simon go bright red and lean over the table with his head in his hands when she walked on stage.

Sundance was a bit emotional last night!

Top tip for watching American Idol. Tape it, then watch it. That way you can:

 

a) get rid of the 244524 advert breaks;

 

B) fast forward through the mostly awful soul singing;

 

c) fast forward through the mind-numbingly cringeworthy & cheeeesy all-together-singalongs (did you HEAR the Tears for Fears one the other week)

 

So you get all the highlights without having to listen to all the rubbish bits. I brought down last nights 1 hour show to 20 minutes. It makes it so much more bearable. Boss!

feel sorry for you people who are about 1 month behind.

 

We're down to the last 10 and there have been big surprises along the way, both for those who stayed and those who were discarded back into their mundane, sad lives.

Simon Cowell did an interesting interview aired on 60 minutes last week.

 

He’s interest in “Idol” is purely the number of records he can sell. He’s worth more to Sony BMG than the likes of Bruce Springstein. Bruce has a 100 million dollar deal with Sony BMG which Simon thinks is a “good deal for Bruce”. Sarcastic tone of “money down the drain” in his voice.

 

He gets paid $38mil for a season of American Idol. Similar money for the UK (original) version and other projects like the X-factor etc.

 

For every record that an Idol sells, in any franchise in the world, Simon gets a cut. There are about 100 active Idol artists worldwide at this moment.

 

He summed himself up quite well in that his contribution to the music world is to serve the McDonalds of pop.

 

Interesting guy, very understated for the power he actually wields.
