I want to hear your comments about the American Idol contestant who sang "Not Ready to Make Nice" by the dixie chicks and was axed.
I think she chose that song because she wanted to make a statement about the war and thought it would have a wide appeal which would translate into audience votes, however it backfired.
I also believe that the American public is sick and tired of all of the negativism surrounding the War on Terror and largely supports it, that's why she lost votes.
On flip side of the argument, if a contestant sang a song similar to Toby Keith's "American Soldier", how would that song be received?
I believe there was a Marine who managed to make it through a few rounds a couple of years ago. Does anyone know if he sang any patriotic songs and if so how were they received?

She picked a bad song.... and sang it worse. And she should have been voted out the week before.
She's not very good.

I think her song choice was damaging, but what was worse was her lack of talent.

I will never understand the popularity of this show, sadly.

I was watching it with my wife and thought immediately it was a bad song choice. You do not want to be divisive in this sort of thing.

I thought she was horrible. And the fact that she chose a dixie chicks song just added to the train wreck. I suppose others in the tv audience must have felt the same since she was sent packing.

No matter if it was a reflection on her beliefs or not, it is strategically stupid to choose a song that you know will turn off some of your fans.
.. and she wasn't that great of a singer so she may have been booted even if she sang something else..

She was voted off because she sucked big time, not because of political backlash.

I've never watched it, save for one time for about 10 minutes. They should change the name to America Idle.

You must be referring to Josh Gracin, one of the finalists a few years ago. I don't know what he sang (I never watch the show), but I did meet him once when he sang the national anthem at a NASCAR event.

Josh Gracin, the marine, has had a couple hits since American Idol. Not sure how far he made it in the show, but he has apparently been well-received since.

Strange as it may seem, this is one of the few shows my wife and I watch. We don't tune in each week, but will make a point to sit down and watch it if for no other reason than to take a break.
To: fightin kentuckian
Don't watch the show...but if i did, i'd
]like to think i would vote on how well
she sang it....From what i hear, the
song choice wasn't what got her kicked off.

Taylor Hicks will likely not even break a million albums sold which will be the first time that happened.
4th place finished last year, Chris Daughtry, meanwhile, already has a platinum album and it might go double the way it is going.
The voting is done by the American public but in fairness, there have been a few people who have made careers from it.

Poor song choice, lousy singer, and an even worse attitude. I knew she was definitely leaving, and I was quite glad to see her go.
