 It's official! Ramiele is a Bona Fide top 12 finalist in American idol! I never had any doubts but it's just great to see that it happened! This past week it seems that Ramiele's minor controvercy was far overshadowed by the more serious information released about other contestants. Probably the most substantial of complaints could be made against some of the most liked contestants. David Archuleta was a prior winner (2003) on Star Search, also Kristy Lee Cook and Carly Smithson had prior major label record deals. These in my eyes really should receive a little bit more attention as they are directly related to the competition. Other leveled allegations of stripping, inappropriate photos and even drunk driving don't necessarily matter when your looking at an artist for their VOCAL talent and marketability. How many secular recording artist are free from all scandal? Don't get me wrong, I'm not promoting or sanctioning foul or damaging behavior, I'm just saying that if American Idol truly is a 'singing competition' ('denotes Simon-like british accent) shouldn't the singing make headlines more often than the scandal?It's a pipe dream I know, this is after all America... BTW, does anybody remember what Janet Jackson was singing when the infamous wardrobe malfunction occured? -Matt
