I’ve been keeping track of American Idol 6 primarily because my wife loves the show. I guess you can call it our quality time together. So far, I think that Lakisha Jones and Melinda Doolittle are the frontrunners to win the competition when the season comes to its end. Based on their performances, I think that the both of them are at a much higher level vocally than the rest of the contestants. I also have high hopes for Chris Sligh, but I just don’t feel he’ll get enough votes from the public. I just can’t see the fans wanting him as their next American Idol.

Then comes Antonella Barba. I’m not sure if anyone realizes this, but the girl is extremely hot with a mediocre voice. I told my wife that I thought she was very beautiful, but when I first heard her sing in Hollywood, I was almost certain that she would not make the final 24. I was wrong. She not only made the final 24, but continues to get enough votes in each round to move on and has ousted much better talent than herself. I honestly feel that much of the reason for her success is due to her beauty, nude photos, and other interesting media on the internet.

We all need to take a step back and realize what this competition is all about. Its primary about the contestants vocal talent and consistency. Yes, she can hold a note and she is better than many other singers I’ve heard in the past, but she is definitely not the best on the show. If she makes it much farther, I think it will be a disgrace to the competition.
