ummm....amrican idol is brutal...haha..
I was so happy when that fat b1tch, (what's her name?) got voted off.
I want to really smack the **** out of that blonde. First, they ***** that people are too thin, now they're too fat again. For the love of God, she is 17; how is she the "picture of diabetes and heart disease." I am not saying that she could not lose some weight, but just because she does not the physique of a bikini model does not make her unhealthy.

She was overweight though.
The thing is: This is a singing contest, not fitness competition. That blonde did nothing but sound like a b**** while not supporting herself with any kind legitimate explanation.

Obese no, but the health concerns wouldn't be baseless.
I agree the blonde woman was way out of line though.
She looks fine to me, and besides last I checked Kelly clarky was still packing some loving meat.

WRONG WAY:
advocating that Jordin should not win despite the impact it might have on younger fans due to her weight versus the amazing talent she has as such a young age.
MORE APPROPRIATE AND APPLAUDABLE APPROACH:
"Congratulations Jordin! You are a such a talented young women. It is evident you will have a bright future as a recording artist. The fact that you are in the final two is evident of that. Being a role model to many is a huge deal, and we, at ????? association, would love the opportunity to speak with you about promoting a healthy life. We feel you could help impact the lives of many children and teens growing up in a world with increasing weight epidemic, etc, etc, blah blah blah....We could also assist you in getting in the type of shape that will be needed for tours, concerts, etc, etc, blah blah blah"
As a former fatboy, I understand the impact of proper role models promoting health, but this blonde deserves a swift kick in the ass.
I honestly thought she was a very pretty girl and she could friggin sing like no tomorrow.
