antonellaCiao, Antonella. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. We ll forget everything else on American Idol this season, but we ll never forget the toothsome Sagittarian from Point Pleasant, New Jersey, the Italian girl who taught us what Sowing the Seeds of Love is all about.

Like a Bon Jovi ballad come to life, Antonella Barba was livin on a prayer through week after week of tone-deaf awesomeness. But now we re supposed to believe America just gave up on her? Sorry, but I don t buy it.

This was rigged they just switched Antonella s votes with Haley s. What do we want? Recount!

When do we want it? Now!
Antonella wasn t the worst singer on the show (take a bow, Gina G) or the most hideous egomaniac (adieu, Brandon), but, man, what a character.

Every week was a new chapter in her life, full of heart-filled texts to her BFF, who declared, She s the least slutty person I know! I miss her already. It s tragic she got kicked off before she got a chance to dedicate Alanis Morissette s You Oughta Know to the jerk who exposed her alleged sex photos, but that can wait for her own inevitable Fox show, How Do I Look?


One thing is for sure: Idol is doomed without her, because she was the whole show. This is easily the worst cast ever, and if they had any sense, they d scratch the results and start over. The only keepers are Lakisha, Melinda, maybe that sweet Jordin and Stephanie, too.

But the rest? Where did they find Chris Sligh, playing Jack in Osbournes on Ice? Blake seemed cool with his Morrissey imitation, but he s devolved into a scatting, skanking, 311-loving, improv-comedy-dabbling windbag.

Phil the Bald Muppet always reminds me of the final scene in 2001. Sanjaya is obviously desperate to go home, but he s a prisoner of his own cuteness, as he wows the old ladies with his Indian El DeBarge thing. Sorry, Sanjaya!

No matter how bad you sing, you will clearly have to slaughter a cow onstage and sing the Revolting Cocks Beers, Steers Queers before America will let you go. Even the ones who can sing are hampered by their corny taste in material. Melinda needs to step it up My Funny Valentine has been dead to me since Ralph Malph sang it on one of those Joanie has a dream sequence episodes of Happy Days.


What a cast. Order lots of room service, kids your days of Fox-sponsored nachos would seem to be drawing to an extremely imminent close. When it s over, all we ll remember is Antonella, and we don t want to miss a thing.

Bring her back now! I honestly believed that Antonella Barba should be on the top 12 of the AI Season 6. Even though her music is just in my opinion just average as compared to Lakisha Melinda but really not that bad as some of the Antonella bashers have claimed for any reason.

I firmly believed that she is somewhere around No. 3 to No. 5 spot among the 8 girls vying for the last 6 spots because she definitely had a huge fan base not only among the male population, but with the female students population votes too also the sympathy votes.

In my opinion AI decided to booth her out because the issue is beginning to become a racial one (Frenchie O Donnel issue) AI dont want to be involved on this once and for all. And AI Season 6 12 finalists have only a few talented singers with personalities as compared to those 12 finalist of the past five seasons. Antonella Barba can give this Season 6 some life and ratings to otherwise would be a cold and boring AI Season some good ticket sales on the top 10 Idol Season Tour had AI Producers not rigged the actual vote count.
