In reading the comments over at Buzzmachine regarding Elton John's charge that American Idol is racist, I came across these observations from hen:
Let's see, last year a big fat black dude won, the year before the runner up was a bi-racial kid, and this year (what?) three of the remaining 6 kids are not white, but no it's "racist".Right on the money, hen.Laughable and stupid, but i guess Sir Elton has a CD to plug or something and he needs the press.

In Sir Elton's world, Eminem is neither a misogynist or homophobic, and AI is racist. Someone see if he hit his head on his piano.
Regardless of how anyone feels or thinks about AI fact is America votes. How can a show be partial when you decide?
On a side note.... sad fact.... more people participate in the AI voting than General Elections.
