I couldnt agree more on Archuleta's fake answer. Come on boy, this isnt Miss Universe. I didnt like him that much and now is even worst.
My vote it was for Jason Castro, he's amazing!!!!

I loathe Luke Menard with the fury of a thousand suns. Are there just a bunch of straight girls out there who are really into boring white dudes voting him safe every week?

I think Danny is about as out as he is currently allowed, considering he is on FOX.

@Tauwan: I didn't catch that at all. And honestly, I don't think Paula had the capacity last night to winkingly congratulate someone for anything, much less their sexuality.

Is Danny really "out and proud?" We all know he's gayer than Christmas, but has he actually publicly acknowledged it? It seems like he was carefully choosing his words in that embarrassing moments segment. Who the fuck says "my crush" anymore? Why didn't he just say "a boy I like?"

I'm not dissing him... it could very well be the Idol producers encouraging/forcing him to take the Clay Aiken route. But I'm hesitant to call him out and proud yet.

@raihala: I love him for being such a bitchy little Pocket Gay ... and I'm hoping that he'll dirty up David A.'s little mind, get him away from being all goody-two-shoes.

@extracrispy: I agree with you on Michael's staying around because the girls like/love/lust after him and that accent. It's probably one of the few things he has going for him - especially after last night.

@Diglett: How else to explain the Nylons' career?

@raihala:

One of the best moments of last night's show was Paula basically congratulating him on being "out and proud" on national television without actually saying so. I think her words were "Spicy and Sensitive (?)" or something along those lines. This moment was of course second to her declaring last night's show to be, in two words "PHE! NOMENAL!" and then nearly falling to what appeared to be her death [also known to you and me as sitting down in a chair] as Simon attempted to both sit and calm her happy go lucky ass down. Good times.

There is, in fact, very much a shadowy a cappella Mafia, but whether they rally to this cause or resent that he’s there and they’re not remains to be seen.

Oh how I love Danny Noriega. He may be the gayest thing on television right now, including "Project Runway."

I'm in the same position I was last year with Sanjaya in that I'm praying for him to make the final 10, if only so I can see him flame up the stage on the summer tour.

this guy michael johns is driving me crazy; he has the look, i think, but he just can't sing. and this jim morrison/michael hutchence thing he's trying to pull off doesn't work.

and i agree: you definitely appreciate jim kerr's vocals after listening to what was an awful version of a pretty classic tune.

randy jackson is an idiot.
