If you think they'll have another white girl be the American Idol, you are not living in this world, my friend. This year it will DEFINITELY be a guy and my money, right now, is on Anwar now that Mario is gone. I was sure would have won. He had everything. If Reuben got himself together and lost some weight, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. But it look like Reuben can't even tour for AI because of his health issues. They NEED a black guy for the American Idol "tour." Which now consists of Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aikin (kinda like the runner up who fills in for the 1st prize winner) and Fantasia. It'll be a black person. I know this sounds racist, but it's show business. And for those who say that America votes ... if you don't think they can manipulate the results, well, I have some land to sell ya...
Well, if you're right about it being someone black, I hope it's Anwar. He seems like a great guy, has a great look, and a great voice to boot.
However, they may go in another direction and pick a rocker...Bo.
Still, I think Carrie Underwood has a shot. American people can surprise you! Her girl-next-door charm and the country music background, which is hot right now, may pull her through.
Yes, you are probably right about the politics, as I still believe little gay guy Clay really won.
Carrie is welcome in Nashville anytime I bet.
they might not have to manipulate the results to get a black winner. didn't Ruben beat Clay fair and square?
I am always happy to see Clay doing well, though I don't follow pop music or watch Idol except by accident. Simon is the only attraction, IMO, with his clever acid tongue.
john mccudy on fnc says that most people forget that clay was NOT an AI, that he was a runner up and then turns out to be the best and the most successful of all....if ole mario had stayed he would have won since a Hispanic has not won yet - so then that leaves the fact that a white male has not won so my bet is on good old bo....to quote simon, "this is your's to lose"
