May 5, 2008Producers not dumping Abdul
Some have suggested the incident proves the show is rigged, the judges' comments are not spontaneous and the results are not based purely on votes. If I were the type to believe in conspiracy theories or brilliant marketing stunts, I might be tempted to wonder if perhaps Abdul’s foible was planned, intended to give America’s top show a little more publicity and perhaps a boost in its falling ratings. Personally, I don't think it's that complicated. I suspect there may be other reasons for Abdul’s embarrassing moment. She may actually be as ditzy as she seems. After all, it can be awfully difficult to accurately remember everything that happened in, oh let's say, the last 15 minutes. Blog reader Pete already believes there’s plenty of shenanigans going on and that “American Idol” is scripted and manipulated. Let’s hear what you think. Has any of this eroded your belief that the show is spontaneous and anything other than a real competition? (AP Photo/Evan Agostini, file) |
