“When we first started the Twitter and Facebook stuff, they said beware of political and religious tweets. Just because it can turn off voters or whatever.”

Sounds like the producers gave all the singers the same advice.

Colton doesn’t say he was singled out by the producers. He doesn't say that he (or anyone) was ordered not to post what they wanted.

And nothing in these articles says he was told to "tone down" his comments or not talk about Jesus.

Idol producers are lefties, but they're not stupid. They went out of their way last year to show Scotty McCreery kissing his cross after meeting Lady Gaga and saying "Lord, this is not my doing."

Neither Scotty or Lauren Alaina hid their faith, and neither did Idol. They know who their audience is.

Colton's overreacting.

I think the writer over-reacted too. It’s like they are trying to find a story to showcase how ‘weird’ the Christians are. Like you, I did not know Colton was a friend of Jesus. I thought he just liked skinny pants and had skunk hair:)

All true but it helps to have a good voice.

The gal that left last week sang a religious song, but her voice just couldn’t keep up. I had good hopes for her initially.

I will be tardy tonight as I have to go to my HOA annual meeting. I have been scolded this month for having a dirty mailbox and dead palm froms on my trees. If we have not elected the new board by 8:30, I am out of there; I have important snarky business to take care of on this thread.
