a black male singer auditioned in season 2. he was denied because of his stripping past. this season has david hernandez. he used to be a stripper. yet he is allowed to stay in the competition.

the same thing happened last year. antonella barba, a white "singer" had nude online pics. yet she's allowed to stay. frenchie davis, a black vocalist from season 2, was asked to leave after hollywood week because of her nude pictures on the internet.

is idol biased?

LOL! And I was just reading that David Hernandez performed fully nude and gave lap dances to the club's mostly male clientele. And his old manager said that David had the look that people liked and made very good money for a strip club that was alcohol free.

Is American Idol biased? I don't know. I really don't know what to tell you.

I think it is.

The team behind the show obviously doesn't vote the winners in. But in these instances they choose who to remove and retain on Idol. Why do they remove the black people, yet keep the other contestants who did the same thing? That shows the racially motivated bias of Idol.

It looks to me that Frenchie David didn't have one. She said that she wanted to be up front and honest about her past with members of the production staff. Then, the production staff told her that American Idol was a family show even though they had never seen the pictures AND she added that no one was able to find the pictures in question as the website that hosted them had been removed.

Antonella Barba says that the photos were photos of her personal life that got exploited without her consent.

Makes you think about all of it, doesn't it?

It's really disappointing that Idol is once again biased towards black people. I read that Barba was hated by the other finalists during semifinals week.

barba, IMO, was allowed to stay because she's "pretty," white and skinny. frenchie was not because she's a big girl and black. Even Frenchie Davis was interviewed about the Barba controversy. Now this with david hernandez. he stays because he's handsome and latin. the black stripper/ auditioner in season 2 is not allowed to hollywood because he's black. same old song again for idol.

frenchie was paid for her photos. david was paid for stripping. it's the same thing. frenchie leaves. david stays. the racism towards black people on IDOL is very clear. there's no debating it.

I dont think race hs anything to do with it. The stuff with Frenchie was back in season 2, 5 years ago. Times have changed and they've lightened up and changed their standards. Arent they allowed to do that? They got alot of flack over the Frenchie thing and if they were to kick David out now, people would be screaming about this too. I wish people would get over that and stop trying to find something thats there that isnt

wow, so in 5 years they change their rules to accomodate white girl barba and david hernandez? how convenient to excuse the blatant racism on idol. Idol owes an apology to frenchie davis and the other black auditioner for unneccesarily humiliating them for something barba and hernandez also did. if hernandez gets voted thru to the final 12, then he's taking up some other male contestant's place. he should not be there based on the rules they only apply to black people.

IDOL is completely racist for penalizing only black people for something that a white girl and dabvid hernandez also did.

yes in 5 years, their standards have changed. When American Idol started, they truly were going for an American Idol and the person had to be wholesome with no kind of past. Its been 5 years and they've lightened up and changed with the times. Its been 5 years, people need to let it go bc Im sure Frenchie has. David should go through bc he's a good singer. If the public has an issue with his past, then they will not let him through with their votes

the rules should apply for everyone.

if frenchie was asked to leave, david should be too. what makes him above the rules of idol?

if david stays, then frenchie should be asked back. of course that's not going to happen, so the next alternative would be for david to go since frenchie was asked to go!

frenchie was interviewed last year and she was pissed that barba stayed, while she had to be released. now david gets to stay too. it appears like there is a bias against black people.

david should just go back to stripping. he's not a good singer and he's taking someone else's place in idol!

America doesn't agree with you. He made to the Top 12, and I think he is a pretty good singer.

america usually gets it wrong.

heck america often gets it wrong even when picking the actual winner of idol. hence kelly clarkson over tamyra gray, taylor hicks over mandisa (even katherine mcphee would've been better), jordin sparks over melinda doolittle, etc.

Poor danny noriega! he would have represented the queer males of color!

that stripper should drop his place in the final 12 for danny. frenchie davis must be pissed! first barba gets to stay, now hernandez. and neither of them are even half as good as she is.

David Hernandez is far more talented than Danny Noriega. Far more mature as well. David Hernandez is one of the Top 5 guys on the show.

If Frenchie was so great, where's her album? Getting kicked off American Idol isnt the end of the world. There can only be one winner and the show is only a stepping stone for future careers. In fact, its best not to win the thing. Has any record label swooped up Frenchie? Has she had a hit single? I think not. She got alot of recognition for appearing on season 2 but unfrotunetly for her, she couldnt use taht come back harder and showcase her music. She is more well known for getting kicked off than her actual talent and 5 years later, I would have expected more. AI did her a favor and she wasnt able to do much out of all the publicity and buzz she got from it.

giggle! as if you can equate releasing an album with actual talent! have you heard of britney spears or any other blonde bimbette clone?

as for not winning, ICAM. look at jennifer hudson! she has far surpassed kelly clarkson, carrie underwood, fantasia, etc. in the entertainment field.

if this were about stripping or performing a lap dance, he would win.

but since this is about SINGING, majority of the women and most of the men are better than him. by. a. mile.
