From Star magazine about Joanna:
"Music industry veteran Joanna Pacitti may have made the Top 36 last night, but she was replaced early this morning by Felicia Barton apparently over her alleged connections to 19 Entertainment execs Michelle Young and Roger Widynowski. A source close to the show tells the LA Times that Pacitti was disqualified to "avoid the appearance of impropriety." According to Star magazine, 'Joanna has referred to Michelle as her 'manager' and 'best friend,' and credited Roger with "helping me get where I am today."

See, it's shit like this that made me a fan of Vote For The Worst. Don't say that your "singing competition" is all about "finding the best undiscovered talent" when you've got super-plants like Joanna (and last year's Carly Smithson) who have already had their shot and are definitely not "undiscovered". Grrrrr!
love, J-Mo :)

I like the welder, the oil rigger, Aloop and the white guy with the nerdy glasses. The one with the black "luver" who didn't make it to the finall 36.
Oh, and one or two of the girls too.

^ my faves too! I love the voice of that nerdy white guy whose wife died. His black "luver" guy had some super-weird piercings - ugh!
Which one was Joanna??

I'm all about Adam Lambert. His "Believe" was incredible - I think he is one of the top male vocalists that Idol has ever had.

I have to say...the only one who actually made me glance up (I watch this while working) was that Jamar guy, when he was singing "Hey there Delilah" during Hollywood Week. I really liked the way he sang it. Especially since he didn't do all those silly soul runs that everyone of these other singers do (in order to cover up their absence of personality).
Although they were right to kick him off for those stupid piercings. They ought to have booted off that Nathaniel weeps-a-lot.
Well, I guess it's time to settle into to several weeks of mediocre songs and mediocre singers. Gawd bless Ameerica!
