This is doing the rounds, the idea that a contestant on American Idol got voted off because she sang "Jesus Christ, Superstar", and that this violated the South\’s deep and traditional religious sense.
Hmmm.
Still:
…how southern culture and mores dominate American politics.
We were told that the South would rise again, weren\’t we?
Flag lapel pins – for people who can’t remember where they live.
I love those ol’ Southern songs:-
“So I stuck my finger up the woodpecker’s hole
And the woodpecker cried ‘God bless my soul’……
For my shame I watch American Idol – Canadian Idol as well, the latter is much better by the way.
The reason she got voted off was that they all sang shite – only she was worse than the rest of them!
Her Irish ancestry – and accent, didn’t save her – she was the better singer over the series – what you are left with is the worst of the worst – a bit like the Conservative party with David Cameron.
3 Reasons Carly got Voted Off
1) America also has huge faith in the church of Andrew Lloyd Weber. That faith has two sacraments: Cats and Phantom of the Opera.
2) Looks count. Carly’s horrorifying tattoos and Wal-Mart clothing tastes didn’t help.
3) Carly is an amazing singer, but she tends towards being Ethel-Mermanesque. She got worse on that count as time passed.
