The American Idol Top Twelve!

AMERICANIDOL0308PART2_05.jpg

If you haven't turned on a television, radio or the internet today (then how the hell are you reading this?) you probably missed the announcement of the Top Twelve. Here's the list of the finalists:

David Archuleta, 17
Jason Castro, 20
David Cook, 25
Kristy Lee Cook, 24
Chikezie, 22
David Hernandez, 24
Michael Johns, 29
Ramiele Malubay, 20
Syesha Mercado, 21
Amanda Overmyer, 23
Carly Smithson, 24
Brooke White, 24

Although most of my favorites got in, there's one Idol that I'll sorely miss - Danny Noriega! I thought Danny's voice rivaled David Archuleta's. Was it horrible song choice or bigotry (Danny's not too shy about being exactly who he is) that kept him from being a finalist?



Although with his personality, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a record deal anyhow!

shove your bigotry shit up ur asses x17, Danny's song choice SUCKED and did nothing to showcase his voice. dayum!

I was happy to see that little bastard go. He might have gotten a better response from voters had he not been such an asshole. He did it to himself by being so disrespectful.

I thought he would last another 2 weeks or so. He was entertaining but he wasn't very good.

Really poor song choice. Made him sound like Sanjaya. (Shudder...) I don't think bigotry had anything to do with it; if anything it gave him some personality. Also doubt that many of the grandmas who actually vote saw his little rant on YouTube.

The little bit I saw of him on tv, he acted like a fool, and a rude one at that. The contestants need to look appealing to the public in order to get votes, and his attitude was a big turn off. I can imagine that he lost a lot of votes because of his attitude. That's not bigotry. That's just a matter of liking or not liking someone, because of how they act, and every contestant runs that risk.

Wrong song choice, wrong attitude! I don't care what his sexual preferences are, he doesn't have to be a little snot about everything!

Bigotry had nothing to do with it. It's so funny how when any gay contestant is sent home, it's automatically assumed homophobia played a roll. If that were true, then how in the world did Sanjaya *cringe* make it so long? Why is David Hernandez still on there? The homo-card is overplayed. Enough already!

Agree, his attitude stunk and when you cuss baby jesus, you don't make any brownie points. Unfortunately sometimes things do come back to haunt you

His nail picking during the whole part when they where announcing whether Chikizee or him would go home was so nasty and obnoxious!
I was extreemly happy to see him go home, his attitude was a big stink!

Posted by: Brit


I'm glad he's gone. I couldn't stand the constant hair flipping. The nail picking was just gross. Sure he was nervous but you're on national TV. At least put your hands in your pocket or behind your back. I have nothing against gay men but I think he was just a little too extreme and was totally annoying.

I could care less whether Danny is gay or not (which of course he is - that's a no brainer)..His attitude is what sucked.(among other things)..

David A & Jason C are my favs - for the guys..

Every time I see Amanda...all that comes to my mind is:

thunder...thunder....THUNDERCATS!!!!

I found them on a millionaire&celeb dating site called"CelebMingle.com"last night.

He was a punk! Dumb song choices (The Carpenters?), stupid attitude, and not even close to David Archuleta's voice. Are you crazy? I suppose if Chikezie went home instead, you would have said it was racism.

---------------------------------
Don't forget flaming Clay Aiken. He is as queer as a three dollar bill and was the runner up. That Justin guy on season one also is gay and he came in second so I don't think sexual orientation makes a difference. If it did, nude male stripper in a gay bar David would have been out and he's still there.

This season of idol is incredibly sketchy. Carly Smithson/Hennessy was signed to MCA records during the same time period that Randy Jackson was the senior vice president of A&R there.

Shouldn't this disqualify her? How could he have possibly been impartial to her throughout the process?

Kick her out and replace her with Danny.

he's a fag, not only should he have been voted off but he should have been shot in the back alley.

Ryan and Randy look like wax figures.

Uh, Danny was the bigot against Christianity. He also has a terrible and immature attitude, as evidenced even just last night. His singing was not that great.

I am so glad to see that slimey little asshole gone. He was Sanjaya X's 10. What a little prick. He soooooo needs to be on medication if he isn't.

Danny didn't make me gay (old school style)

danny was a weirdo. Happy he's gone. I hated his facial expressions and disrespectful attitude.

Posted by: joanne


Voters made the right choice.

You think that Danny's voice matched Davids?? LOL!!!! This just goes to proved how retarded and delusional x17 is about things.

There is no comparison whatsoever. You have got to be kidding!!!

THEY ARE ALWAYS DUMPING ON RYAN,S HEIGHT OR RATHER THE LACK OF IT.RANDY LOOKS THE SAME SIZE AND SIMON NOT MUCH TALLER. GO FIGURE ONLY IN HOLLYWOOD

Rivaled Archuletta? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Are you high? Drunk? If you think this little punk rivaled probably the best of this season, you're seriously nuts!!!

Oh, and I think it was his piss poor attitude that got him eliminated. That, and he just flat out wasn't very good. I sure as hell didn't wanna have another Sanjya crisis on the show...or however the hell that little punk spells it...
