He certainly has the voice to have done really well in the competition! It's too bad that people think like Mary does, that he shouldn't be on idol because he is an Osmond. He deserves his chance like everyone else. He shouldn't be penalized for the success of his other family members.<br /><br />Mary's probably right about people giving him flack and it's really sad. It's sad that more people can't be happy for those who are successful. It's sad to see how negative and cold hearted people are. It seems like it's especially bad in blogs and chat threads on the internet. I guess people feel that since they can hide their identity, they can say whatever they want. It's sad. <br /><br />Anyway, I was disappointed that David was pulled from the competition. Based on his voice and talent, he definitely deserved to stay.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515156384189095117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27772783.post-68016787359804943262008-12-20T16:38:00.000-07:002008-12-20T16:38:00.000-07:00Not confirming or denying the story, but as an FYI...Not confirming or denying the story, but as an FYI: from American Idol on Wikipedia: Rules<BR/><BR/>Singers are not permitted to have any current record deals or talent management agreements (though they may have had one at some point in the past).<BR/><BR/>This is how so many previous Idol contestants (Brooke White, Constantine Maroulis, Robbie Carrico, Chris Sligh, Fantasia Barrino, Taylor Hicks, Christy Lee Cook, Michael Johns, and Carly Smithson) all had CDs available for purchase during the ir season run on A.I. Even David Cook had finished recording a CD prior to winning, although he did not have a major record label deal until he won. <BR/><BR/>As in all these types of contests, let the best singer win!Lu Ann Brobst Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551298104018237327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27772783.post-50785436843756676272008-12-20T05:01:00.000-07:002008-12-20T05:01:00.000-07:00I gotta say - I thought American Idol was a contes...I gotta say - I thought American Idol was a contest for those that don't have the contacts to get the recording contracts. Didn't know a recording professional could use it for their own advantage. Gotta say, I'm dissappointed that David has done this. I also believe that in the end - not a good thing, for 2 reasons. 1 - if he wins -flack, it's an Osmond, what did you expect. 2 - if he doesn't, flack, it's an Osmond, what did you expect.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782144160651032905noreply@blogger.com
