Also... wasn't is CRUEL how Ryan goes something like,

"The person leaving and going home tonight is Elliot............... You are SAFE!"

Gawsh!!

Mandisa will be busy I'm sure. As one of the top 10, she will be on tour with the Idols this summer. Like Diana DiGarmo (sp?) who has a great career on broadway right now, Mandisa is going to be around for a LONG time. She is beautiful and can sure belt out a tune.

I was honestly hoping it was Paris...I mean she can sing and everything, but isn't she the one with the aunt who's the famous singer? I really don't think she ever needed AI. She could have easily gotten a record contract....I'm really sad that Mandisa got voted off. She was one of my top 5, and Bucky totally should have gone before her...I'm really disappointed in American and AI

I can't believe Mandisa went before Bucky & Ace!!! I was shocked & disappointed.

I don't know why but I am starting to like Bucky. He sand well for country night. I didn't expect Mandisa to go so soon ... actually thought Paris was going to get the boot (she was out of tune most of the song).

I was disappointed that Mandisa was voted off. I agree that this week was not her best, but it was still too soon.

So, the latest rumor is that Mandisa was "asked to leave the show" because she is very openly anti-gay.

If this is true, 1) why all the drama. Just come out and say that she is being asked to leave because of ________________. 2) What's wrong with having an opinion? If she feels this way, does that mean she can't be the American Idol? The key word is AMERICAN! Last time I checked, that meant freedom. Now, I'm not anti-gay, so please don't think I'm condoning her views, but geeze, can we not speak our minds anymore?
