Did you notice that almost immediately after that remark he said we need another break.

I thought that was what I heard but I wasn't sure...again, I'll wait for clarification but if that was the comment then he should be gone! Regarding the competition, I thought she did pretty well tonight, I liked her performance...there were at least 3 girls who weren't as good imo. BUT, the 5 black girls were all vastly superior! There is a lot of talent among the girls but the top 5 are head and shoulders above the others!

Agree, she gave a pretty good performance, not the worst for sure. It seems odd to say it but yes, the black girls are all really good, and standout from the rest. I'm not sure if Sabrina is considered black, mixed, or something else, but I also think she is a very good singer.

If, by pretty good, you mean second-worst.

She is literally terrible. And I say this having been someone who loved her during the auditions. She just doesn't compare to any of this crop, and she couldn't find the right notes during the entire performance.

Geez, a girl gives a little trim, and all the sudden all the guys want to give her a free pass.

Since I am not bound by the same heterosexual codes of conduct, I am free to speak the truth and say that she is absolutely terrible.

I dunno. The ginger with the deer in headlights look and the soccer mom were pretty horrible compared to antonella when you factor in the whole package. And lets be realistic Lequaysha and the other black girl that acts like Julia Sweeney's character from Stuart Saves His family have no commercial appeal.

How about he loses his job b/c he is the biggest no talent on the planet? Bring back Dunkelman. Seacrest is the ultimate right place, right time moron.

K, here is my take on his "that would suck comment." I think you guys got it all wrong.....we had the show dvr'd and while we got the that would suck comment, I never heard the other comment....As far as Seacrest's comment, I believe that is strictly related to the fact that he himself gave out wrong #'s in a previous season....Remember, they screwed up and no one was voted off that particular week. I don't think it had anything to do with Barba. In fact I thought they were extremely cautious not to even get near the issue.

After thinking about it more today, I think you may be right in that it wasn't an Antonella joke. It may have just been a reference to a wrong number being displayed.

I fail to see why you're more free to speak the truth than anyone else. I certainly wasn't giving her a free pass. My comment was not in regard to her looks. In my opinion she is not absolutely terrible.

She is for sure not in the top flight of this crop, I suspect that very few are, and she won't be in the finals. But in my view she does compare with those in the second tier.

I'm insulted by that accusation...I really am! I thought she sang better than 2-3 other girls...easily! I don't care if she Jenna Jameson or Mother Teresa, my evaluation is my opinion of her singing and I like her voice and presentation...I'd rank her 7th of the 10 girls right now! IMO, she should get through at least one more round!

Just so I'm clear, are you insulted by something I said, or are you quoting me because you agree with me? I actually agree with what you have just said about her.

Yeah, I was referring to Brian's comments...and I'm not really insulted just joking with him! But I am serious about my evaluation that she's 7th right now...she could with a good performance next week (if she's still there) become one of the top 12.

dude. aj, it was a joke. a joke about how there are sites out there trying to get dudes horned on by her pics to vote for her.

total joke. lighten up. a gay joke now and then never hurt anyone.

but without leslie in the competition tonight, she is without a doubt the worst performer tonight.

did you watch her performance again? I made jordan replay it because i was trying to not be biased based on last week, and she was even worse when you really think about it and listen to it again. i'm not saying she's a bad singer, per se. her talents put her ahead of most of america period. but in this competition, she is a bottom dweller and with every chance to prove herself tonight, she did nothing to dig herself out of that spot.
