American "Idols"

American "Idols"
Posted By: Brian Howard on April 14, 2005


Is it me or is there a conspiracy going on in the world of American Idol? Lately I have seen performers who blow up the stage everytime I watch but always seem to get eliminated. I cannot remember the guy that performed Sisqo's Incomplete that was truly a song that needed to be redone and remastered for him. Then the following week he gets eliminated. I have noticed that many of the black performers are getting knocked off at a rate faster than light itself am I thinking too hard ir can someone agree with me? Holla at me

I am an American Idol fan and i agree with you,they are trying to get all of the blacks off because they want either Constantine or Bo to win this year. You are right that Nikko shouldnt of got voted off but i dont know how america is voting.Hopefully Vonzell will make it to the finals and win!

The guy's name was Nikko Smith and he was one of my favorites. True, he didn't have the strongest voice of the bunch, but he shouldn't have been sent home. Then, last night, one of the last black contestants was voted off. Hmm...I don't know what to think.

No it is not just you. I have been a big fan American Idol since the first season, and Nikko was my favorite as well. I guess they're thinking that since "we" have Reuben and Fantasia, we should be satisfied.
