Ok. I'm a sexist. I know this, because, as a man, I commit on a daily basis the utterly unforgivable crime of appreciating female beauty.
I like women.
I am, therefore, somewhat predisposed to root for the pretty ones.
Which brings us to American Idol.
American Idol often has amongst the competitors a slew of reasonably attractive women, and I always root for them - frankly, even if they suck - because that means I get to appreciate their gorgeousness longer.
HOWEVER, American Idol does not appreciate its contestants showing more than would be acceptable onstage; in fact, they have booted contestants - well-liked, popular contestants - before, due to the merest hints of impropriety. As is their right.
Which brings us to Antonella Barba.
I liked her in the auditions, and in Hollywood week; not only gorgeous, but possessed of what seems to be a fairly sweet, if shallow, nature, and a passable singing voice. I was somewhat disappointed when she performed so far below her ability this week, but glad the voters kept her. Most likely, they kept her for the same reason I would have. Great legs.
Sadly, we're almost certain to see her go away in the next week or so.
Because she has made the mistake a lot of young people are making these days; she thought her caught-on-camera escapades would escape notice.
They haven't.
Enjoy this look at Miss Barba; there most likely won't be many more.
***********THERE IS SOME NUDITY FROM THIS POINT SO IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BAIL NOW***********
Now, while this photo is SO VERY cheesy, I don't think the American Idol folks would be all THAT offended.
Now, that's HOT, but again, probably not a problem.
Edging up on a bit racy. I'd still vote for her.
If you're male, your pants are probably a bit uncomfortable, but you're still within the bounds of propriety, just barely.
Ok, now that right there would probably get her yanked, but they'd be nice about it, yanno?
"Um, ok, thanks for coming but we're very sorry, you're not 'clean' enough for our show... thanks very much, bye now."
OK! We have a winner!
Miss Barba! It was ever so much fun leering at your really spectacular legs; when your fall from grace leads to a long career in porn, I will be in line to buy the first DVD... but your pink ass is GONE from American Idol!
Thanks for trying, though.
