I find this year's Idol unwatchable, thanks to Nicki Minaj, who talks too much and yet has nothing of substance to say. Even before this year's edition began I wasn't planning to watch because I couldn't imagine either Minaj or Carey having anything intelligent to say. Carey, at least, seems to be harmless, thanks to the fact that, unlike Minaj, she doesn't talk much.
So, I haven't been watching but I have caught a minute or two here and there, and last night I tuned in to see that Matheus Fernandes, who appeared on several episodes of the first season of The Glee Project make it through to Hollywood. Surely someone who writes about TV for a living noticed and will write about it. But I can't be bothered to find out. Do Corey Clark and the others have a case? Unless they can find some white contestants with undisclosed criminal records, they don't. Clark's 15 minutes should have been up years ago, when his CD bombed. Unfortunately, he's not bright enough to get that no one cares. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin M. Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 8:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TV orNotTV] American Idol sued by dismissed contestants Fox states the contestants were cut loose when it was revealed the contestants had criminal records. The contestants believe they were not judged by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin. Just so we're clear, I honestly don't care about AI, but I know that after the season of Big Brother (I think it was the 2nd) when one of the contestants brandished a knife in a threatening manner, it has been policy to cut reality show contestants with criminal records. Based on that, and based on the volume of African American contestants (and winners), no way the lawsuit proceeds. http://www.businessinsider.com/american-idol-racism-lawsuit-2013-1 -- Kevin M.
