That's whack, but not totally out of the question, I guess. Justin is half black, though, isn't he? That would be where the racism argument ends.

• Quoth LiquidSky •<HR SIZE=1>I was just on the AI site message boards. Good Lord! Some of these people are taking this entire situation way too seriously. There are allegations of racism and a petition to sign if one does not agree with the outcome of last night's show.<HR SIZE=1>

Some one call Halle Berry. The racists are at it again!!! BTW, I'm currently starting a petition of my own against Major League Baseball. I just saw Gary Sheffield called out on strikes. Hopefully Jesse Jackson will be at the rally, so I can propose my petition.

Where's Cynthia McKinney when you really need her?

Message boards at AI are soooooo f**cked up!!

Here we go. Yeah, "the man" strikes again.

BTW, why wasn't the "R" word mentioned when Christinia was eliminated? And do you think anyone would have used the "R" word had Tamyra won this contest? I mean, when will this card stop being dealt?

Also, I think black artists are getting a pretty fair shake. In terms of record sales and exposure. Have *you* turned on MTV2 or looked at the Billboard charts lately? I purposely didn't say MTV because they stopped playing videos circa 1992.

WOW-I've never seen such rampant obnoxiousness. Don't they moderate those boards over there, you would figure MSN would crack down on some of the nasty posts being started to instigate arguments. What the heck is NiKKKi RocKKKs!!" all about anyway??

it's not the show's fault if you don't like the results.... blame the callers

I blame the show for not making it tougher for the phone hackers with their auto-dialers skewing the "vote".

So, do you hate everything? I'm confused.

To each his own, but don't go hatin' on Madonna. I don't own a single Madonna CD myself, but I can accept that she not only defined a generation of pop music and style, but she continually reinvented herself over and over, most times quite successfully. Whether I liked what she was doing or not, she led the pack while everyone fumbled over themselves trying to be just like her. While not necessarily vocal, that girl has some serious talent.

From your original post, I gathered that you hate Nikki, RJ, Madonna, Mariah, Celine, and Whitney. Got a little lost trying to figure out when you liked and when you hated Madonna. Your second post cleared everything up ... a bit.

No one has mentioned this yet, but Kelly's fan website has directions and links on how to use powerdialers.

Tamyra getting booted off so soon...There is something definitely wrong with that picture. Sure, the Patti Labelle song didn't work but that girl has too much talent. Unbelievable.

I was sure that Nikki would get kicked off. I like her style but her voice is very limited in such that it worked for the rocker songs she did last week but not much else.

Justin is getting weaker by the week. His songs are beginning to sound like one another and this hand movements and mannerisms are getting stale. Sorry.

Kelly will do great whether she wins the contest or not. But even she was only OK when she did "Surrender." She was really stretching on that one.

American Idol picked up the option to manage Tamyra's career (at the start of it, anyway).
