Tonight begins the women's portion of the singing competition we like to call American Idol.  It's not really a singing competition so much as it is a popularity contest with people who can sing, but who cares. 

It's fun, mindless and repetitive - just like television should be.

antonellabarba2.JPGSeason six's controversy revolves around New Jersey girl Antonella Barba.   Risque photos of Barba surfaced on the web shortly after it was announced she made the final 24 cut.  The photos include Barba sitting on the toilet, flipping the bird, posing topless (hands covering her breasts) and engaging in underage drinking.  Not exactly what a potential Idol wants floating around when her fate depends on the perception and votes of others. 

Antonella, 20, first made her appearance on American Idol at the New York auditions with her best friend Amanda, who did not make it past Hollywood week.  There was also some Hollywood week controversy regarding Antonella and Amanda's contribution to the elimination of another contestant, Baylie Brown.  Apparently Amanda, was more interested in flirting with boys than practicing with her group and when crunch time came, Baylie flubbed her lyrics despite her efforts to practice with her group.  Baylie was cut, but not before Amanda made it through and stated the reason was because "God likes good people."  But he apparently doesn't like self-righteous whores, as Amanda was soon cut as well.  Ha, to the ha, ha, ha. 

Back to Antonella.  If I remember correctly she has a nice voice, but can her breast size, looks and voice get her past, well, her past.  While I am not entirely sure who posted these pics of Antonella, I wouldn't be surprised if it was one her pals, as these pics are not the work of paparazzi, but rather close pals.  I don't know about you, but I only let very close friends take pics of me popping a squat on the crapper.
