I heard that Frenchie Davis got kicked off American Idol????

[ead79]

Does anyone know why? All I heard is a quick blurb right before I had to go in to work. I am bummed--she was my favorite! I checked the official website and she has already been taken off the list of contestants. Anyone know???

 

[becka]

I am guessing that perhaps she lied about her age.

That happened last year with one of the contestants. I think the max age for AI is 24 and I think he was 26.

Turns out she was involved in the "porn" industry. I wonder if they're going to replace her????

 

[Luckymommyx2]

Wow, I didn't hear that! I thought she would be the one to go all the way too! Too bad!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Oh no!!!!! If she lied, maybe should could get a job on one of those other shows, where lying is part of the underlying theme, LOL. She could be Frenchie Millionaire.

Porn?? What about that gal that was in the other porn shows, the bondage one?? She did not get kicked off her show.

 

[Bumbles]

Dan, you crack me up

You claim to be above watching the reality fluff and yet here you are commenting on almost every thread!

It's good to see you come out of the reality closet Brain candy is good for the soul sometime

 

[ead79]

Oh my goodness! How disappointing!

 

[Suzy Mouse]

WHich one was she? Does anyone have a link to her picture?

 

[Jeafl]

All I can say is that I thought Ruben was fabulous! He just blew the others away in my opinion.

 

[caitycaity]

thart sucks. i didn't know they had a rule against porn.

 

[Towncrier]

Just checked the official website. They have bios on the 32 finalists. Except when you click on the pulldown menu, there are only 31 entries and Frenchie is not there.

She had been one of my favorites!

Link to story (short).

That just throws a wrench in my whole finalist plan. . .I thought she was gonna' take it all! Last night's performers were better than last week's though. . . Guess I better rethink my position on the winner! Kimberly will have to take up the mantle--thought it was going to be a battle of the big voices, but now that Frenchie is gone. . .who knows.

 

[Beanie]

...and you say you don't watch these shows, Dan!!

That does kind of bite though...I liked Frenchie and thought she would go far!

 

[Dan Murphy]

LOL, Bumbles and Beanie, only what I pick up here from all my DIS buddies. Some of these threads here on the DIS do make for good reading for me.

 

[Suzy Mouse]

Did you see this there?

"Another Idol finalist, Jaered Andrews, was replaced earlier for undisclosed reasons."

 

[DonnaS]

Reality TV is a lot like the DIS IMHO. Lies, love, quests for stardom, survival against what life throws you...

Found this on a Reality TV website:

The Final 32 competition of "American Idol" has yet to begin but already one of the finalists has been given the boot! USA Today reports that Jaered Andrews of Youngstown, Ohio has been disqualified after a Fox background check revealed him to be a former member of the Youngstown-based hip-hop band Ordinary Peoples.

I am soooooooo bummed about this. She stood out from the start.

I hope that they reconsider. This happened four years ago. She shouldn't have this opportunity taken away because of poor judgement. Who doesn't have something in their past that they're not proud of?

Nutz....I wanted her to win it all.
