But these places and these faces are getting old……so I’m going home

So I usually don’t start commenting and critiquing American Idol until the final 12 (6 girls, 6 boys), but I just GOTTA get my two cents in after last nights result show. While I usually voice my picks to get sent home, I know in the back of my head that there is going to be at least one person that sucked REALLY bad to squeak through to the next round. This is usually the result of that website vote for the worst dot com, a website who’s sole purpose is to totally fuck with the American Idol voting system. It encourages people to vote (for the worst, hence the title) to see how long the suckiest contestants can stay in the competition. Their site showcases Antonella Barba as one of the ‘worst’, who in MY opinion should have never even made it to Hollywood. Don’t get me wrong, she’s got a good voice…but she is NO match for the girl power talent this year. Coincidently, she also brings the drama that Idol produces totally thrive on. On Vote For the Worst, you can see some compromising photo’s of her that were found/dug up on the internet. These aren’t the ONLY ones out there. Other sites are showing way more explicit photo’s of the New Jersey princess. So there it is. Surprise surprise? She is still in the competition….saw THAT coming a mile away. Can you say “way to boost ratings?”

UPDATE: Read this interesting post on TMZ.com about Antonella Barba

In other Idol news, it was announced that Jennifer Lopez will guest star this season to ‘mentor’ and ‘coach’ the contestants. Ok, WHAT??? Please tell me what Jennifer Lopez is going to contribute to the personal growth of these Idol hopefuls. Please, because I am truly curious. Is she going to coach them on how to make their voice sound totally unlike themselves by using electronic enhancement and mixers? How to airbrush photo’s and take out their flaws so that they look immaculate? And, I have to throw this one in because I am mean…is she going to show them how to marry a guy that looks like Skeletor???

You have to be EFFING kidding me…….

On a GOOD Idol note, they have chosen Daughtry’s (Chris Daughtry’s band, 4th runner up on Idol season 5) song “Home” for all of the elimination shows. Now THERE is talent.
