[odiemann]

I know some of ya'll thought the Odiemann was plum nuts when I announced that I thought the show had some bias from the outset this year in crowning a male idol. The idea that the producers and the "judges" might have an agenda was scoffed at and belittled by some. Well, now after all that great female talent has been pushed off. Let's look at the stacking.

1. It is easier for male singers to sing Neil Diamond, than it is for females to get down with Mariah or Dolly. That is a setup after all the "don't pick such big songs from divas" comments.

2. The air was sucked out of the room and disappointment was abound when Michael Johns was booted.

3. Wouldn't David Archuletta be the "great American Idol story?" The little boy who stalked Kelly Clarkson (the first idol) down to demonstrate his devotion to her and show his prodigal prowess. And it was all captured on video that was show several times during the season.

4. How is Sayesha holding on? She does perform, sings well- and still gets lukewarm comments.

Well, what do you think now? Will we have a male idol?
