		<description>LOL...I think your right on that one Jeanne :)
Ok, so I decided to do some research and see what other Idol drudge we can find. Not sure if everyone knows about this one and I&#039;m just last to know but I read an article that said: According to our spy, some of the religious female contestants are none too fond of one Miss Antonella Barba, since racy photos of the off-key idol began popping up on the net.

No confrontation has erupted, but it’s been downright chilly behind the scenes, with the idolettes now waiting to see if America decides to keep the photogenic Barba around for another week, heaven forbid! http://www.savingfaceforum.com/?cat=12

I bet there was some behind the scenes drama with that one...lol....I&#039;m sure the other girls were a little bitter behind that whole scandal.....AI is a trip!

I found something else for anyone who wants a good laugh...Those pic&#039;s are obviously photoshoped...amatures!

		<description>Becky - I really hope that all of the contestants forge lasting friendships.  They have gone through an amazing experience together and hopefully it will be the tie that binds!

A&#039;kyra - in terms of former contestants fighting, I think Justin Guarini&#039;s hair gave Kelly Clarkson a run for her money, lol.

Tim - M.W. Smith is, indeed, a powerful endorsement among Christian music fans.  He is a great songwriter and singer if memory serves me correctly.   Thanks for the tip!</description>

		<description>Check out Michael W. Smith&#039;s website.  She sang with him last year and he&#039;s got a &quot;vote for Jordin&quot; banner on the home page.  That&#039;s a pretty significant endorsement.  T.</description>

		<description>Becky,
I think you may be reading our comments wrong since you are &quot;Aquainted&quot; with Jordin. I really didn&#039;t see where anyone said they were NOT going to vote for Jordin b/c of her political views. However, someone did point out that since it was brought to their attention her political stand that they would vote for her. In either case we are all basically trying to say that it is a talent competition in which contestants are critiqued based on their ability to sing and entertain the crowd while making the song their own. Point blank that&#039;s all we are tryint to say. It does not matter ones political or religous views in this competition. Jordin&#039;s fans love her and vote for her b/c of her musical abilities and that it. People that love her or hate her b/c of her political or religious views really have no bearing on this competition. Jordin is an amazing and talented young lady and can sing her butt off for a 17 year old. She will do very well  in her musical career no matter what her political or religous views are. 
So I think we all pretty much are keeping our stand on that comment that was made regarding voting for her b/c she is pro-life. That&#039;s not what this competition is about. If she were running for Supreme Court Justice then that is a whole other story.
As for your comment on &quot;Contestants aren&#039;t out to beat each other to a pulp&quot; I am not aware of any season of AI where that happened but if you have some inside scoop on AI fighting drama or even a comparison to another similar reality show, please share :)
Thanks Becky :)</description>

		<description>I think you all missed the point with &quot;Thanks for alerting me to the fact that Jordin is a pro-life Christian. I will definitely vote for her now.&quot;  I personally thought they were saying that it was silly to want people to vote AGAINST someone because of their abortion stand.  Jordin&#039;s politics have note been mentioned on AI - only her church and her volunteer work.  And by the way, I am acquainted with Jordin, and the tears are not fake.  She is, after all, 17, and she is very attached to the other contestants.  It&#039;s nice to watch a competition where the contestants aren&#039;t out to beat each other to a pulp.  I&#039;ll bet these people stay friends for the rest of their lives.</description>

		<description>Can we please enjoy this competition for what it is---a singing and performance competition--and not inject religion into it.  They&#039;re not competing for the next American Evangelist after all!   Jordin is talented, there&#039;s no doubt, but I prefer Blake overall!  Go Blake.</description>
