The Blackman from the very first time the first white man ever landed on African soil has never been treated fairly and equally in education,employment and even in this idol kinda thing.We b lacks know what the white man is capable of doing,putting a few blacks in the show and eliminating them one by one till there in non left.I am not trying to be racist but it is a fact that the black success is always a pin in the eyes of the white American.People who sort equality were driven away or killed. W.E Dubois sort the black course and he was driven from the American land,sort to be killed.He confessed in Ghana how equally he was been treated among his own people.O ma GOD,let the white people take the show if they want,its always been the order of the day.After all our kids excell even without the idol

Why does the tour not hit more states? Ca. and Pa. have 4 concerts each, yet Tx. has none. How are these locations decided? We want them to visit Oklahoma.

Melinda was the best singer. I knew when Melinda revealed she was a Christian, she was out of there, but I appreciated the Winans being asked to sing a Christian song!

Simon was most honest, Paula most motherly, and Randy was majorly middle of the road. I liked all the judges and hope they all return.

I think Simon should just pick the winner and save us the time we spend to watch the shows. He is very good at telling America who to vote for by making disparaging remarks about them. For as long as this program remains on telvision I will refuse to watch. They tried to keep Paris around as the token black, yet make nasty remarks to discredit her singing, when it is obvious that other such as Katherine and Elliot have made similar mistakes. They tried to make Chris the winner from day 1, and honestly he is not versatile. He is rock oriented and I personally will not buy any music of his or the other white singers that they give the 1st position. Idols is so racist and now that Paris is off, you can rest assured that the black community will watch something else on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We now know that it is fixed, and that is the reason we implore Simon to just produce his own white favourites instead of wasting our time. American Idol is now Simon's Idol, because it is what he wants and that sampling does not showcase American with its diversity.

Wouldn't it  be funny if we found out that Taylor was really about 40 years old? (ooo scandal)   That hair thing really threw me and still does. LOL The whole season I thought to myself ... would I truly buy a cd by this guy? NO!!!! He was a hoot to watch on tv, falling down and trying without success to kick over his mike stand but that's about it. Kat on the other hand, we will see her as a model or actress and if she put out a cd, I would most likely  buy it. And Chris? He will rock on somewhere. He was set up. There is NO way he was supposed to be kicked so soon.

But it's over and ... it's over.

Laura.....out.

Youre an idiot.  They have had plenty of black people in this show.  Paris wasnt that good.

Blacks (who make up about 12 percent of the American population) are over-represented almost everywhere.  If you want to get into a racial conspiracy theory, try to figure out why Elliott, the Jew and the best 'singer' of the competition, was left out.  Mandisa's too fat.  Paris has to find a lower range (sounds like shite trying to sing low).  Get over it.  And, by the way, the wanna-be Whitney/Mariah thing is sad and old--which is why Taylor won.
