Disappointed in Paris Bennett. TMZ at it again!
This article is written and owned by: Arne
Picking up on a story by TMZ on the Tony E Fly Morning show. It appears that some of last years former competitors are voting for the worst of the show. Paris states that not only is she voting for the worst, but so is a few from last year.
I am very disappointed that Paris and the few others (she did not mention there names) who are reducing themselves to this kind of media posturing)! Paris who had been one of my favorites last year has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Transcript verbatim of Paris talking to TMZ’S
( TMZ announcer) Tony E Fly “Former American Idol contestant Paris Bennett on Tony E Fly morning show! I think the announcer is Tony but not sure!
Announcer: This whole Sanjaya Phenomenon what do you think of that
Paris: I think it’s very very funny
Announcer: Now these guys are all mad at me because I ‘m voting for Sanjaya because he can’t sing and because I think it is funny
Paris: I‘ve been voting for him to
Announcer: Oh you are voting for him also?
Paris: Yeah, vote for the worst thing?
Announcer: Oh so you went to vote for the worst.com you seen all that stuff?
Paris: Oh, of course, we had that during our season! So we are doing that to!
Announcer: It is wonderful to hear that former idols are voting for Sanjaya! That’s wonderful
Paris: Yeah there is a few us, umm, there is a few of us that are watching that are voting!
Announcer: Is Sanjaya a big joke to you, or do you want to see him win because he’s talented!
Paris: No we want to see him win because it will kinda prove that American Idol is kinda losing its taste and it is kinda not going for talent anymore more so popularity! So we think it is a joke and because it’s funny. (Paris laughs)
Announcer: Alright so it is kinda of an anti American idol movement thing going on.
Paris: A little bit, I mean come on like from the beginning Sanjaya has been kinda of stale, so the only time that he had done good was this week, Jennifer Lopez week, this week.
Announcer: So even though kinda, it kinda put me, here in the twin cities you were already known, and everyone knew Princess P and you were at all the events and everything. But American Idol kinda put you on the national map. Even though it helped you you’re your career, you think its time is over.
Paris: I think that it is definitely, now having Sanjaya on it, it kinda reminded me of the movie, do you remember the movie American Dream that came on last year?
Announcer: Yes
Paris: Ok, remember there was the Indian guy or the guy from India, then there was Mandy Moore that’s kinda like what the competition seems like right now.
Announcer: Paris, I appreciate you calling, because it is my favorite show on television, for whatever reason, I think the stuff with Sanjaya is a lot of fun. I think if it does ruin the show, then so be it, then America has spoken! And it ruins the show!
Paris: there voting so…..
Announcer: Exact… people have called up here, (announcer mimicking caller complaints) “oh I am so mad about Sanjaya di di di) you know it’s going to cancel the show!
Paris response of indifference: Well that’s all good! (Inaudible b96) and Sanjaya is on the show it will still continue to be funny!
Go to TMZ to hear the actual audio link:
http://www.tmz.com/category/american-idol/In summery: Paris called the Tony E Fly show on TMZ stating she is voting for Sanjaya, to prove it is a popularity contest and not a singing contest. The very same TMZ show who’s hosts Kevin and Bean, said last year about Mandisa: "It's fascinating that she can be a front runner and look like she does, yet there's no way 'Whitey' shows up at 280 [lbs.]" and gets in the Top 10. It's not even possible!" I would say that Paris and the few former idols have defeated their own purpose by voting for the worst. If Paris and the former Idols really feel that way and want to do something, then they need to hit the headlines in a different way.
TMZ is double standard if you ask me. Last year hosts Kevin and Bean of TMZ said that somebody with Mandisa’s talents should not be in the top ten or a front runner, based on their looks and weight! This year Tony E Fly host of TMZ states I’m voting for the worst because it is funny and if the show closes so be it! Double Standard TMZ, get your hosts and acts together!

http://www.mopie.com/blog/2006/03/more-mandisa.htmlI am very disappointed in Paris! It sounded more like a sore loser then trying to prove a point. I am sorry I have to say it, while Paris was one of my favorites, I did not think she was the best vocal. I supported Taylor Hicks. My favorites of last year were Taylor, Elliott, Katherine, Paris, Mandisa, Lisa, Bucky. Jose, Patrick Hall.
The former idols are not proving anything, other then they are prepared to try to cheat a more deserving talent! their right to win idol title. Not very well done or thought out by the former idols and/or any of those that are doing this and lowering themselves down to this cheap level!!!!!!!!!
