Hell freezes over: I just tried to vote on American Idol!
Unfortunately, I didn't get through. I usually don't even watch American Idol, but I wanted to help a contestant who is getting a bad rap because somebody put personal pictures of her on the Internet without her permission. I have a feeling there is going to be a backlash against her, and I wanted to try to counteract the backlash!

Maybe other DUers will have better luck:
1-866-436-5705 is the number to call to help Antonella!

1. Antonella
simply can't sing, whether or not she has a cock in her mouth.

Lakisha all the way, baby.

3. I'm not saying that she should win the whole thing
I just don't want her to get kicked off because of something that was pretty unfair.

4. The show is defending her
One of the producers said it was unfair because it's a case of a friend betrayng her. Simon Cowell said he didn't see where she did anything wrong. Ryan and Randy also made supportive comments about her. I thnik the biggest rap most people have is that she took one of the pictures in the fountain by the World War II Memorial which is pretty disrespectful. But she's young and stupid and no doubt has never heard of World War II

She stunk up the joint tonight though. It's not like she's the second coming of Kelly Clarkson so if she does go, it'll be deserved.

6. yeah
she was awful tonight.

But she looked great! I loved that dress.

And btw, seriously, that shirt Randy was wearing? I owned that same exact shirt in '79.

7. I love
how people go out of their way to say they don't watch a particular show or even own a TV.

How do you know if somebody doesn't own a TV? They'll tell you within 3 minutes of meeting them.

10. LOL!! Yeah, you're right. It's pretty amusing, isn't it?
Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 12:59 AM by Shine
but, please....allow me my personal self-righteousness at NOT jumping on the American Idol bandwagon. :D heh.

Hey, my weaknesses are 24 and Survivor. I'm not proud.

13. Update: I got through and voted for Antonella about 30 times!
Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 01:09 AM by Pushed To The Left
I'm a 34 year old man and I'm voting on American Idol! What's the world coming too? Again, I'm only doing it to counteract the undeserved negative attention that this kid is getting.

Once again:
