Bitter Paris calls American Idol “a Joke” – Vows to Screw With Results

Wow. I really liked Paris Bennett and was sad when she was voted off last season. At just 17 she seemed mature, innovative, versatile and talented. Now she just seems like a vengeful betch! She phoned into a Minneapolis radio show and said that she and some other contestants (likely other Idol “losers”) support the website VotefortheWorst.com in hopes of messing up the results. She added that they “want to see [Sanjaya] win because it’ll kind of prove that American Idol is kind of losing its taste” since “it kinda isn’t going for talent anymore and more for popularity” (wow, how articulate – she didn’t sound like an immature teenager at all. Note, this is not a dig at the many teens who can be amazingly articulate and bright).

Why are you doing this? Because you, uh, kinda, um, didn’t, um, kind of win? Wake up, Paris. VotefortheWorst.com has been around for a while and when people like you decide to do what some lame website tells you, it is you who are influencing votes – not the contestants, nor the real viewers. You had your 15 minutes already – your time’s up so move on…

Click to listen to her ridiculous call into the “Tone E Fly Morning Show.” Warning – listening to it may actually decrease your intelligence.

An Update on the Finalists

It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from all of our finalists. How much do we know about what they’ve been up to, other than being on tour with the American Idol Live tour.

The Detriot Free Press has an article that shares with us the goings-on and doings of each of the finalists. Most interesting to me were:

Chris Daughtry: The rocker whose early departure provided the season’s biggest shocker just bought a brand-new home in North Carolina for his family for a reported $690,000. He’s set to work with star-making music mogul Clive Davis on an upcoming album. He’s also cooking up collaborations with musicians from Live, Fuel and Nickelback.

Paris Bennett: The petite princess of the show has talked of plans to record several albums and do cartoon voice-overs.

Speaking of Paris, I’m still amazed that such a different voice can come out of her mouth between when she speaks and when she sings.

Live Blogging Tonight

I will be blogging tonight’s American show. Be sure and check it out! I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this may be Elliott’s last night to perform. He’s a great singer, just not sure he’s got the fan base to support him anymore compared to the others. I think one of the challenges later in the show like this is converting fans from Idols that have been voted off, to your own. I think Taylor will have picked up a significant portion of Paris’ fans.
