Teacher gets sent out...

... of the American Idol classroom. Love it or hate it, Anwar Robinson has been axed today. The friendly, braided, well-groomed maestro from New Jersey didn't have the votes to match his unquestioned singing prowess. First, the tsunamis, then the passing of our beloved Pope, now this; how bad is it gonna be in the future?

The only extraordinary singer is out. What's worse, he was shown the door before the long-staying fatboy, the Russian shortie, one of the girls and any of the rockers.

I expected at least a Top 3 finish for him, but sorry to say, discrimination overpowered the true meaning of the term idol. If you're both black and Muslim (or at least your name is), don't even think about winning.

I don't think it's just singing prowess that's involved. So don't jump to conclusions about being a bigot or racist.

I saw his performance and it simply didn't appeal to me. He had less stage presence and his choice of song was not as interactive as the others. If I were voting I too would place him in the bottom three and that's not because he's black. Maybe other people saw what I saw...

imho di dapat matanggal si anwar...at si miko(sp?)...isa na lang ang black na natitira sa mga contestants...

fantasia is also a black person pero nag champion naman siya sa mga nakaraang batch...'ika nga,"weder weder lang iyan"

i dont think naging racist or sumthing, it was just not meant for him, american idol isnt just 100% about singing prowess, u have to look the part too. maybe he came short on that one

can't believe the fat boy is still there...

sometimes the underdog mentality of the americans is so.. (or maybe sooo many americans identify with the fat boy so they voted for him.. parang twisted sympathy vote)

fatboy na sagwa ang mukha,

nun elimanations palang assh0le na yun, remember yung team performance? yung mga contestants were group into three? alam nya magaling bosses nya, kaya iniwan nya yung dalawang groupmates na habang sila nag prapractice. bumalik na sya nun umaga na, at bad trip na bad trip yung groupmates nya. kasi di nila alam ano gagawin nila kasi nga group performance yun.

ok yung kanyang positive attitude na "he rocks" pero medyo overdone. parang compensating for all the schoolyard bullies who made his life miserable.

2 out of the 3 winners of American Idol are Women... so does that mean the voters are ***ist? I don't think its all about the singing, its the stage presence, its the connection with the audience... so don't conclude about the racism part. Weather weather lang talaga yan.

yan ung masama sa AI; ang laking factor ng fan votes, kaya the best singer might not always win. Tignan mo lang last year, ung redhead -- and, prangkahan lang, si jasmine. a lot of people felt na saved by fan votes lang si jasmine trias. pero i guess part of being an "idol" is the ability to draw fans, so...la eh, ganun talaga B)
