Comment: I was watching The View when Rosie said this and I agree with here 100%. Antonella can't sing worth a damn! I don't understand why they didn't send her home without a vote. That's how they did Frenchie and she told them about her pics. This chick didn't tell them nothing.

Name: Tiedie
Comment: I normally can't stand Rosie, but this is one of those rare moments that I actually agree with her.

Name: Dexbooty
Comment: I'm not a fan of Rosie, but when she got into it with Doanld Trump and was imitating him, I cracked up, LMBAO, and decided to try to look at her in a different light.

Name: huey
Comment: hate to admit it but the carpet-muncher's got a point...

Name: Selah
Comment: If the show is "Weight-ist", how o you explain Ruben Studdard winning it? If Ms. Davis has Rosie stumping for her, she's got bigger fish to fry. Go away Rosie.

Name: NJBLKGUY
Comment: Can someone explain why appearing in "racy" non-x rated photos, photos leaked without your consent, should be treated the same as posing for pay on a porn website? As the day progresses, I am sure Rosie will get much love on this board from the very same people who hated her during the Rosie-Star Jones uproar.

Comment: selah come on: reuben was accepted because he is a FAT man and frenchie was not because she is a FAT woman! to me it is the same comparison as old men vs old women getting quality jobs in hollywood. when men are the top of the tier who green light everything then ALL things must conform to their desires and perceptions. although there are many men who love plus size women they don't all admit it in public ways!! because the victoria secrets model is supposed to be every man's dream woman. after all she is more closely related in looks to the women in playboy, penthouse etc. you gotta know frenchie's type ain't NEVER EVER BEEN IN PLAYBOY!!! the racial element as well is to be considered in the similiarity of the guys at the top. some love the attributes of Black women as well but won't admit in public. but the bottom line in this particular situation is that the Black contestant was dismissed and the white one wasn't for the same infraction of so called misbehavior!! how each woman was put on the internet and by whom isn't the question to be answered or used to make the decision on dismissal. if each woman was on the internet in racy photos each should be dismissed--no matter what!!!!! it's just that simple. considering the color of either one and not doing the same thing in the same situation is RACIST.

Comment: Anyone who has watched AI knows that Simon comments negatively about weight to all female and some male contestants. They have this idealized view of what a potential superstar should look and sound like. It is all about presence, not substance. Once it goes to the public vote, any fool can win if their fans are persistent enough. If Frenchie had been a size 2, she would not have been dismissed for her earlier photos. Had she been white, it may have even helped her make it to the finals.

Name: NJBLKGUY
Comment: msstar82- both women were not on the internet in racy photos. one was in "racy", "suggestive" or whatever you want to call it photos and the other was specifically for a porn website . how are the situations the same? I don't think Rosie cares a whole lot for blacks and I don't view her comments as "sticking up" for Frenchie. Her support, in my opinion stems from the fact that they are both heavy. That's all.

Name: Mimi
Comment: I thought Frenchie was on a lingerie site? Anyway, No-singing Antonella should have been sent home.

Name: MDhornet
Comment: NJBLKGUY, on point. I didn't agree with AI gettting rid of Frenchie because she told them about the site beforehand. If Frenchie's supporters want to protest, then protest based on that but don't compare her site that she voluntarily set up to photos leaked against somebody's will.

Name: bigchassie
Comment: well, we shall see what happens tonight when the ladies sing.

Name: FiveMore
Comment: Rosie aint never lying about "Idol's" double standards.Antonella was shown giving oral and showing off her butt.Any random black contestant would have been quietly shown the door.And, Antonella can't sing a lick!!!

Name: DCGG
Comment: Oh gimme a mofo break, Big Fuvkin surprise here, racial double standards here in AMothafuvkinmerica?? Say it ain't so...why all the surprise and fuvk Rosie, where was her fat cottagecheese azz before she got on the view speaking out about racism?? She's just doin the "In" thing...I ain't givin her azz no props...

Name: McNasty
Comment: The last thing black folk need is rosie championing their cause. I'd rather she stick to the shat she knows and is good at and standing behind a black woman ain't on the list. I can't stand that she's set herself up as an authority on everydamnthing!

Name: ChocolateBrownGal
Comment: Why would ANYONE want Rosie on their side? Go away Rosie...so annoying!

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...We live in a crazy world and there are many people who might think it funny to vote for Antonella...This could gain momentum and she could win, after-all this is a popularity contest...It wouldn't suprise me none the least...I can envision the overweight Raggedy Andy looking kid and the Antonella the freak in the finals...It would make great TV and put an end to this farce called American Idol...

Name: rayne
Comment: Rosie has a point. Wait a second Ladies& Gentlemen just as soon as Antonella is kicked off of American Idol, we will hear about her posing for an upcoming issue of Playboy or Hustler magazine. Simon looks at the outer appearance of a person. Each week when Antonella “tries” to sing, Simon always comment on how great she looks.

Name: Angel
Comment: Like I said yesterday, I believe that this boils down to the fact the Antonella Barba is hot (according to the media) while Frenchie is not (I'm talking physically, not vocally, of course). Most folks aren't fascinated by seeing a woman Frenchie's size naked, so when that information was released many were repulsed, while Barba's pictures had folks seeking out her photos and tuning in to see her on the show. Like Chris Rock said not every woman has "community t*tties".

Name: Bad_Kitty
Comment: If Antonella was shown giving oral, then she should be OUT. American Idol IS supposed to be a "FAMILY program" isn't it? They are a bunch of hypocrites and need go back to making this a TALENT contest. Not a BEAUTY pageant.

Name: Angel
Comment: Bad Kitty - The "oral" photo has been proven to be a fake.

Name: fairydust777
Comment: Whether or not a contestant voluntarily put the phots on the internet or it was leaked is not the point. The point is that both women are in unsavory pictures that do not conform what American Idol wants of it's contestants. That means that BOT women should have been off the show. Bootanebootus makes the most sense. The American Idol show is a farce and I will be glad when it's off the air.

Name: Bad_Kitty
Comment: Thanks Angel, I didn't know that. I haven't followed this season of AI as close as other seasons but there does seem to be a double-standard here as to who they keep and who they let go.

Name: Victornator
Comment: fairydust777, Remember when Chuck Berry was caught video taping women using the bathroom? Hypothetically, if one of them made it to American Idol and the Chuck Berry video of her pi$$ing/shiiting/changing her tampon was "leaked", should she be kicked off?

Name: indipindintthnkr
Comment: I think everyone Indian, aged nine to ninety-nine are voting for Sanjaya. He is so out of touch only folk from india could understand.

Name: bigchassie
Comment: INDI>oh i definitely agree with you on that! he is a cutie but i'm so tired of this boy! he makes me want to go to sleep!! i'm just not feeling all the guys on AI right now. this is so sad.to be honest, they should just let all the guys go and let the girls battle it out.

Name: NJBLKGUY
Comment: Fairydust777- would love to hear your response to Victorianator

Name: gingerg
Comment: Don't look now, but Rosie has been quoted as saying that she's been treated for depression and hangs upside down for up to 1/2 hour per day to improve her mental state. According to the report, this has been going on since the 1999 Columbine shootings, when she says she felt the shottings happened to her children. Say what!

Name: Timolyn
Comment: DCGG>>>>>I looked forward everyday to read your comments. U cracks me up....lol

Name: Closet_Nerd_Girl
Comment: I don't have a problem with AI not kicking Antonella off the show because she did not VOLUNTARILY or PROFESSIONALLY pose for nude or partially nude pics for public distribution. One of her "friends" sold her out. Victorminator, you make an excellent point. Something like that could happen to any of us. I do have a problem with AI kicking Frenchie off because of how they did it. She told them up front about her posing for the site, and they were OK with it. It wasn't until the pics were brought to the general public's attention and they started catching flack that they decided she had to go. Instead of standing by their earlier decision, they did a 180 on her, and then tried to make it seem like they didn't already know about it. I think they owe Frenchie a public apology about how they treated her, but they do not need to kick Antonella off the show. She will get voted off anyway because she can't carry a tune across the street in a brown paper bag. As for Rosie, I agree with ChocolateBrownGal. She needs to get a life. I am SO over her...

Name: katee
Comment: I HATE ROSIE!!! I can't wait until someone kicks her %*$ (just clobbers her - and I mean verbally)!!! Like another poster said, this isn't about race, but about Rosie taking up for Frenchie because they're both fatties. Rosie looks like death walking, by the way. Just terrible.

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: Rosie tells the truth. And for most, truth hurts. I like Rosie just for that reason. Tell the truth, shame the devil.
