District Idol's Dreams Derailed
Start singing the blues D.C., just don't do it in front of a panel of judges hostile to you and a nation with their fingers literally on the button of your career. Last night Catholic University student Antonella Barba was dismissed from American Idol in a cut that chose the final 12 contestants. While the judges were shocked when voters gave Jason "Sundance" Head the boot, they seemed content to let Barba go.
Much of the interest in the Capitol Hill waitress has centered around some racy pictures taken of Barba and her support from Vote for the Worst. A few weeks ago the Web site suggested Idol viewers vote for her, in some sort of attempt to stick it to the man and distort voting. So come on back to Washington, Antonella, we're sure there are plenty of openings for singing servers at Mimi's.





I assumed they were content with her leaving since she sucked whereas Sundance was actually kind of okay.
When will you people acknowledge that Lakisha is from Fort Meade and just start supporting her?!?!?

Admittedly, I don't make a habit of watching the show, but isn't suckitude what the American Idol audience is looking for?
I assumed they were content with her leaving since she sucked...
This comment has been up for how many hours, and no one has made mention of the hilarity of this statement considering the content of the pictures???
You mean the content of the pictures that obviously weren't her, Yeah?
It's amazing how funny the universe can be if you distort reality to conform to your jokes . . .
Geez, Nate, lighten up. It's freakin' American Idol.
The racy pics and (lame) controversy were the only modestly interesting thing about her. She prob wouldn't have made it this far w/o them. I'd give even odds she leaked them herself.
