I really have to laugh at this latest American Idol "controversy". Apparently this show has a quota of 2-3 controversies per season. And this latest (non)-scandal involving that David Hernandez guy (hope I got his name right) is absolutely ridiculous. I seem to recall that while definitely not the most prestigious job in America, strip dancing is completely legal, so why a scandal? Firing him for not having done anything wrong is ludicrous as are suggestions supporting any punishment. Unless he has done some truly immoral, illegal, and terrible things that would bring bad publicity to the show, then keep him on. This whole 'american idol controversy' hysteria is so inane.
Now, after having said that, 'Idol' is one of my very favorite shows. And I always think that the auditions move way too fast (though they do devote like three or four weeks to them). Sometimes I have a stupid wish that they would just focus on that, but I will have to buy an 'Idol' compilation on DVD of worst performances, since they always give me a good laugh.
