RE: The black girl who does the Weightwatcher’s Commercials was far above the one who actually won.

Well, you would be glad to know that even though she was voted out too early (Number 7 in Season 3 if I remember correctly), Jennifer Hudson turned out to become one of the most successful the show has ever produced.

After the show :

* She starred and won a best supporting Oscar and a Golden Globe award for her role as Effie in DREAMGIRLS

* She has recorded two great albums, one of them winning a GRAMMY

* She lost her “Miss Piggy” look and has lost over 100 pounds making her one of the “biggest loser”.

So, all is not lost even if you do not win the show, all you need is to get noticed.

On eason 5 for instance, Chris Daughtry placed #4 but is arguably the season’s best selling artist.

In the meanwhile, Twitter is abuzz from many former Idol contestants and even movie and TV stars regarding the result last night ( apparently a LOT of show biz people follow the show ).

From Idols like Chris Daughtry, Mandisa and Jennifer Hudson, who were victims of shock boots themselves to Idol winners like David Cook, and fellow Idol 10 contestants like Stefano Langone and Naima Adedapo, there were a slew of tweets that basically expressed a collective WTF111???!

Here’s a sample of people twitting :

From Nigel Lythgoe:

I am still shocked and sad about last night’s #AmericanIdol result. I guess that’s going to happen every week now!!?

RT @adambonin: Then have the judges make clear who deserves to leave. [IT IS NOT ABOUT THE JUDGES OPINION IT’S ABOUT YOURS!! U R NOT SHEEP!]

Stefano Langone is still reeling:

Good morning everyone. Very very emotional night for me, for everyone I think. Jus want people to know I wasn’t upset about the reactions…Of the judges and audience.

Or even what people are thinking or saying now. We create relationships with these people, closer bonds then people will ever know. It’s jus super tough…

And to my fans, thank you so much. I know you guys will be wit me whether I stay or not!You as well as me know what I’m capable of specially After this competition! And that’s real! Much love always

Naima Adedapo: Gotta Love those teenage girl crushes! LOL. Ahhhhhh.

Jennifer Hudson: I can not believe they just eliminated pia ! ReAlly..???? Long as she walked away with that voice she will be alright !! Just hate to see talent like that go!

Chris Daughtry: What the crap!!?? I thought Pia was THE best singer on the show this year!

Mandisa: Hmm…based on ur tweets the rumors abt #AI10 r true. But u know what I realized? I was voted out n 9th place 5yrs ago too. #JustSayin

Melinda Doolittle: I’m genuinely shocked by the AI results tonight. That’s all.

Elliott Yamin: Damn!…Pia’s hot when she cries too!..2 bad!..looks like the judges used their saves too early.

Katie Stevens: Why is it that America sends all the girls home? It makes me upset that the girls are equally as talented as the boys but majority of idol voters are girls and alot of times girls wont vote for girls? I don’t get it at all… America got it wrong tonight

Andrew Garcia: Still in shock. How’s everyone? It just means my boy Casey is gon handle it he’s always had my vote now I’m voting my brains out for him!!! Y’all do the same!!! Ya hearrrrd

Didi Benami: WTF!? Pia, Seriously?! umm… Her voice is insane! Unbelievable…

Todrick Hall: American Idol will once again produce another flop and X Factor is going to put them out of business!

Michael Sarver: Wow! If there has ever been grounds for a vote recount on idol it is this week because this so doesn’t add up!

Brandon Rogers: America has made possibly one of the worst decisions in #Americanidol history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil Stacey: Terrible result on Idol tonight. No way that person should’ve been voted off…

Haley Scarnato: Let’s just face it, Pia Toscano should not have gone home…. She was one of the best singers this season… WTF….

Kim Caldwell: Did Pia just get voted off idol?! She’s too hot for people to take her seriously! That’s crap

Janell Wheeler: I’m shocked and sad that Pia is out!!! Waaaa!!!!

Anthony Fedorov: I’m completely SHOCKED!!!! I cannot believe Pia just got eliminated!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

Chris Sligh: Way to go America. You apparently looked in the mirror then forgot to vote for the best singer.

Ashton Kutcher : Who are the people that vote on ‘American Idol’?,”That’s just crazy! That Pia girl is dope.”

Sammy Giancola of Jersey Shore :

“Nooo please tell me why Pia is in the bottom 3?!” early in the show, then following up with, “WHAT!!!!!!!!! ... wow. Upset over ‘American Idol’ right now.” Housemate Snooki wasn’t feeling it either, saying simply, “ ‘American Idol’ ... WTF ... Pia should have won the whole thing! I’m not watchin Idol anymore. I’m with JLO on this one.”

Tom Hanks wrote, “Don’t have an ‘Idol’ habit, but how could the USA vote Pia off? I may be done for the season!”

Ryan Seacrest tweeted about what the scene was like when the cameras stopped rolling.

“After we went off air no one in audience left their seat, everyone was in shock. Judges walked on stage to talk to her”

In the end, Pia herself tweeted a farewell (for now), telling her followers, “I’m truly going to miss my idol family! Thank you @JLo Randy and Steven for believing in me. Love you and love my fans!”
