I am SOOOO sick of hearing about the race card in connectio with American Idol! It's a popularity contest. We can vote for whoever we like best. We don't need Simon or Elton John to tell us who to vote for. Elton John was out of line for saying that racism effects the voting. Wrong!

I thought the show was about TALENT and not popularity.

Au contraire, the show is about performers developing a fan base. The producers know that this transfers into future profitability. That said, I hope to see the performers when they go on tour.
