I cant find sh*t for pictures....dammit:mad:

never mind...found previous thread....

lmao

Whether the new photos are real or not, she was the worst singer amongst the girls. I was surprised she made the top 24 and stunned she survived the cut Thursday.

If you watch last season, there was a girl Kelly Pickler. She was very good looking and a average singer at best. I think she went pretty far on her looks.
I think Barba is much more better looking than Pickler, and if FOX doesn't give her the boot maybe she will get more votes from guys because of the pics!

That will be what I would find interesting...the format of the voting is to vote for your favorite of course so she might actually get MORE votes, I already posted that several men's sites are attempting to organize a "get out the vote" campaign for her...would be fascinating to see but I suspect Fox will be under wilting pressure from all sorts of "family values" groups to dump her...she probably will be gone over the weekend. I say it again...I wish they would let her stay and let the public vote.

I agree she will probably be gone, because the worst thing that could happen for AI would for her to go really far in this "singing contest"

I was just surfing the net and came across this tribute video on an Italian site, it uses some of the least racy pictures set to an interesting song selection...obviously the makers love the pic of her and the rose pedals. I post it to show that Europeans have a different perspective on sex than America...as far as AI being a "singing contest", I think it's more than that...personality plays a huge role, as does the uniqueness of the performances...look at last year's winner! I agree that she would have to improve but suppose she does stay and does a better job next week? I guess I just feel for the girl, the former bf who has apparently posted these pictures appears to be a real scumbag...I simply can't imagine doing something so vile to someone I cared for...or even if I didn't care for...

You can bet all a big conspiracy to promote Idol, which by the way hardly needs promoting. This girl is bubble gum teen pop all the way. Not very interesting and I wont even bother trying to find her pics, shes really way overrated. Reminds me of Flower Alley (not in the way she looks but of the hype)....

The bottom line about last years winner, was that he was really able to sing!

Oh this is going to be a long season discussing this with you.

Bottom line he could sing? He was MAYBE worthy of making the final six. It almost made me stop watching the show because I was so incredulous that he won the competition.

And that opinion has been completely reaffirmed by the fact that his album completely tanked compared to those who didn't take home the title last season.

Oh, I agree that he could sing...but so could 2-3 others equally well...what won it for him was his energy on stage, his personality...he developed a strong and loyal following! You have to have talent, that's a given but all I'm saying is that usually it comes down to who stands out with their overall performance...otherwise, Opera-trained singers would be winning the crown every year! Very few big name entertainers get to the top on voice only...Paul Robeson did, Elvis has a wonderful voice but there was a lot more there, Elton John can sing but his personality made him, same with the Beatles, Stones, G&R...

Blech, I can't stand Taylor Hicks. His so-called "personality" reminded me of many nights I've spent in bars watching music. He's the kind of guy who has this smarmy stage presence for the opening band that you just wish would shut up and stop being a corny karoake-bar type singer and get offstage so you could see the band you came to see.

Just my two cents. Worst Idol yet, if trumping Ruben were even possible.

Taylor was the best Idol had to offer last year. McPhee sucks more than Antonella.

For the record. I thought Chirs was hands down the best singer last season and arguably the best one in the six seasons. But I like rock music the best. At first I liked Taylor, but at the end I wanted to see him get whacked Soprano style! That whole personality versus singing contest came in to play. Taylor had more than Katherine and it helped him that Katherine wasn't that good on the final night. I look foward to discussing this season with you guys. Or at least until Kentucky Derby time!

I decided I'm going to blog about it on my blog during the season with notes and all that corny bullcrap from every performance night. i'll be cross posting everything in an american idol thread which i hope will distance itself from porno pictures :)

i'm sure it's going to be fun, because even my partner and i can't agree on what's good and what's bad....but i don't think he knows very much about music and what's good or bad. so there is some comfort in that.

case in point. he noticed NOTHING wrong with the first half minute of phil stacey's performance on tuesday night. NOTHING AT ALL. Except that I pointed out that those thirty seconds were without a doubt the most wretched thirty consecutive seconds of any performer on either night.

Agreed about Phil the other night. It started off like a train wreck. Looking
forward to the American Idol recap thread.

Yeah, but personality goes a long way, and this girl Barba has none. Simon loved Pickler, but already put the "pack your bags" on Barba.

You are right, personality does go a long way. But so do naked / giving guys BJ pictures too! It doesn't matter cause I think they will toss her or she will just quit. She has nothing to gain by staying on the show. I would think her parents would want her out of the limelight for now. Another thing is by some act of God if she won, everyone would just say it's every guy in America voting for her because of the pics. That's why Idol can't keep her because then it would make the show a sham! I think the real damage the pictures will be that it might hurt any kind of modeling gig she might have gone out of being on AI. The girl can't sing but she is very very pretty. Now the only thing she could hope for would be a phone call from Hef!

Won't matter cuz she gets the boot. No way would AI people ever put themselves in a position to have this girl voted through. For the sake of argument, what happens if they let her stay and somehow she starts to get votes and her momentum picks up and more pictures keep surfacing? cuz you know that there are going to be more and more everyday......No way they run that risk with the biggest show on tv....

Saw new pictures today at antonellabarbapix.com, Not nude but pretty good.

That's debatable from what I've seen...would you have said that if you didn't see her photos. :D :D :D

Umm WOW:eek: Never seen the show usually turn it off when its on but not now:cool:
Wife might wonder why the sudden interest tho:rolleyes:

There are now news reports questioning whether the pics are really her, especially the two which show her giving head...several sites are questioning same. Once again, we need to wait until there is verification...some, apparently are definitely her, and while they are certainly "playful", I would hope they wouldn't be seen as grounds for removal. All in all, the silence on the part of Fox is more than I expected...perhaps they will let the contest run it's course...as I've said, she deserves to be judged based on her performance on stage not by her personal life.

shes an Itallian chic from Jersey, doesnt surprise me one bit

If that was the case somer, she should be out of the competition already.

Well, we will see shortly! I am greatly surprised as well as pleased by Fox's decision to allow her to remain on the show...I figured they would "duck and cover" but they stood up against those who would push their private sense of morality down our throats...I have been very critical of Fox in the past for cancelling many excellent shows and not giving them a chance to gain an audience so I feel compelled to honor Fox for their stand in this matter! I have never voted in this contest but I really want to cast a vote for her tonight...I will watch her performance and hopefully I will feel justified to do so! Folks have said she not very good...I've watched replays of her performance last week and I honestly believe she was better than 3-4 of the others (including the two who were voted off)...I think she's good enough to survive another week but we will see. I've seen comments by Brian Seacrest, Randy and Simon...all in support of her, as Brian said, if we want to question someone's morality, we should look at the jerk who released the pictures in an obvious attempt to hurt her...what kind of person does that???
