Black and White Idol?

I've been watching American Idol since season 3 and one of the biggest controversies is that the contestants who they don't show much on the pre-top 24 group generally don't fare as well because they haven't developed the following that other contestants have who have had more exposure throughout the auditions and Hollywood week.

This was the first year that American idol sent an Asian guy through to the top 24, but of course there was almost no coverage of John Park throughout the entire show, except for his audition where he made Shania Twain wet.




They have had Asian female contestants in the past, most notably Jasmine Trias, but of course that happens because white guys love to exoticize Asian women - NO WGWAGS!!!!! Just like every year, American Idol this year again had nothing but white and black people with the exception of John Park and a few brown guys. Apparently America is only black and white people with the rest of the minorities marginalized by our media, at least there is the George Lopez show now (Who is terribly unfunny).

While I have to give John Park love, he's not my favorite. My favorite just so happens to be one of the brown guys, Andrew Garcia. Also got to give much love to Andrew because his baby mama is Asian and if you look him up on youtube he rolls with mostly AZNS. Thus, I will commend American Idol for giving him great coverage since I'm giving him honorary AZN status(Yes, I have this authority). Below is his audition, which I think is better than the original, and you can look up his version of Straight Up, which was also amazing.

  1. Yeah what a surprise considering John is a total hottie. They gave that Casey guy so much attention because of his looks.

  2. I also agree with your decision to give Andrew Garcia honorary AZN status(I also have this authority). I knew about him before American Idol through the AZN community.
