Well. I hear that the din of the noise to get rid of Antonella Barba is getting louder and louder:
Antonella Barba Photos: Rosie O'Donnell Calls American Idol Racist
Frenchie Davis: "Idol" Double Standard?
Protesters want Frenchie reinstated
FWIW, I do think this is a ridiculous double-standard. Do you want your 13-year old daughter seeing the pictures of Antonella Barba? Idol puts itself out there as a "family" show. There's nothing family-oriented about Barba's display. Personally, if Idol weren't so sanctimonious in it's family-friendliness, I would care less. But booting Frenchie to bolster family-friendliness while keeping Barba is hypocrisy of the highest order.
Simon Cowell is on again about Taylor Hicks:
He says, "They (Abdul and Jackson) loved him. I couldn't stand him. I didn't get it. "At the end of the day you have to find a bona fide recording artist. Just because you win the show doesn't mean you will sell a lot of records. Chris is the one who sold the albums, not Taylor."I wish he'd just sleep with Taylor and get over it already, because I can't see any other reason for him to be dissing Taylor every time he turns around. Hey Cowell - could it be because your bubble-gum pop-makeover "experts" write pure dreck that no one can stand? We'll see how Taylor does when he's out from under the 19e thumb. Like Kelly Clarkson, I suspect it will be MUCH better than he's doing now.
I'll be back later with a live show recap...
