I’m loving AI this season. Chikeze had to go..too much of a crooner -boring. Syesha has to go- can’t wait.
Ramiele -well, she didn’t do well with Dolly’s song. She could have been a contender. Jason was a shocker – didn’t expect to see him in the bottom 3. I like Kristy, Carly, and the others. Brooke just looks like she has a mean look- sorry. Can’t seem to put my finger on it.
David A better be heading to the top all the way. He’s got an amazing voice, looks adorable-cute as a button, humble, I can see why Paula wanted to squeeze him and take him with her…I feel the same.
David A…you’ve got my vote!

Dear Shirley:
Saw you on Idol Wrap today! I’m in total agreement with you on Jason! It’s great to “get” him, isn’t it?!

Thank gawd Chekize (or however the hell you spell his annoying nickname) is gone! He SOOOO should have been the first to go. I’m still devestated David H., who was beautiful and has, at least, a final 4 voice potential, went before this church service special singer did. Even down to his excruciating facial expressions. As painful as it would have been to watch Daniel N. strut his feminine self across the top 12 stage, he should have placed over big C. I suppose I’m just thankful [big C] went when he did being that those who are left are, for the most part, soothing to hear…and to watch!

Chikezie did’t have to go. He will make it one way or the other.
God bless you

Alright, as I’ve already said, I have no proof that Asian votes are the only thing keeping her in the competition. Fine, that’s done and dusted, so no need to rehash the argument. But no one can deny that the ethnic vote is SIGNIFICANT, meaning that they are important. They COULD make the difference, when the voting is very close. Is that fair enough? Anyway my initial argument is directed at people who are accusing others of being racist, just because they state that Ramiele gets a lot of Asian votes. But there’s no need to belabour the point, the more I clarify the more people are going to misunderstand anyway. I’ll just state my OPINION then, that Ramiele is mediocre singer and I don’t find her attractive at all. Brooke White is ten times hotter, with a nicer voice.

Aaaahhh, vader. You’re the only one playing the race card. I think Ramiele gets more votes from the young female crowd than the Asian viewers. For some reason, Brooke, Syesha, and Carly seem so much older than she does (and its not just her height). Of course, I would just be guessing like you are.
Go Jason!

For those of you who haven’t done your research; Jason Castro is a religious man. He is very humble & laidback, not stoned. He is such a pure & beautiful person in spirit & mind. I would love to see him win AI, but I don’t think he will and I think that will be better for him if he doesn’t. But he will have a shining bright future. He reminds me of Jesus is some ways & his initials are JC. Jesus was also a beautiful person but also misunderstood as is Jason. Good luck to all the AI contestants.

This past week’s bottom 3 ALL deserved to stay at least another week. Ramiele should have gone. She has done nothing original, sounds very karoke’or like a lounge singer. She has a voice but not a gift. It seems it’s a popularity vote between David A. and her. But, he has more talent than she does. And, I’m not really crazy about him either!

to Vader: Asians represent less than 10% of the U.S. public. While race-block voting may be fact, it cannot keep someone in the top 10 alone. I think Ramiele and Kristy are largely kept in place by the much larger voting block of STRAIGHT MALES. Ramiele and her p*rn-star lips in particular seem to have fueled a number of “exotic” fantasies amongst pervy white men…

You’re right, I shouldn’t have used the word ‘fact’. I was just trying to make the point that it isn’t racist to say that Ramiele has many Asian fans voting for her. It’s a neutral comment, and no one is saying it’s wrong for Asians to vote for Asians. My main gripe is with people playing the racism card at the slightest touch. Anyway let’s not argue semantics here. Since you ‘think’it’s teenaged girls voting for her, I’ll say that I ‘think’that a significant number of her voters are Asians. Now I’m not psychic, but I have a feeling most people would tend to agree with me, even though my opinion is not a ‘fact’.
