Seacrest should be dismissed

FOX should immediately fire this insipid creep after that actionable insult.

If I was the Barba's, I'd sue Fox tomorrow morning for defamation..

What he do?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I did hear something that I couldn't believe and therefore just assumed that I heard wrong. If he did say that, it should be a big problem.

Scav · #4 02-28-2007, 09:07 PM

WHAT did he say? Byk is writing a novel on this probably full of words I can't understand

insipid was the recent one...WOW

Made a crude, off-handed, innuendo-related remark that may have been largely missed. When the girl with the inter-racial parents finished, she put up the wrong number of fingers representing her phone in number...

Seacrest said, "Don't put up the wrong fingers... that would suck." Then glanced behind him and muttered, "Is that person still around..'

basically yes. I didn't quite get the exact words but it was relating the word "suck" to some other person. And we all know who that person is. That was WAAAY out of line for the host.

Did you notice that almost immediately after that remark he said we need another break.

ddthetide · #10 02-28-2007, 09:46 PM

how in the world did you guys catch that!? wife had it on and i was listening. neither one of us caught it.

I thought that was what I heard but I wasn't sure...again, I'll wait for clarification but if that was the comment then he should be gone! Regarding the competition, I thought she did pretty well tonight, I liked her performance...there were at least 3 girls who weren't as good imo. BUT, the 5 black girls were all vastly superior! There is a lot of talent among the girls but the top 5 are head and shoulders above the others!

It was real quick, and a little under his breath. Also there was no reaction from anyone on the show, judges, audiance, etc, so it didn't get played up.

I'm am willing to bet that they try to spin it and say that it was totally misunderstood.

However I am reasonably sure that what I heard was an attempt at a joke at her expense.

Agree, she gave a pretty good performance, not the worst for sure. It seems odd to say it but yes, the black girls are all really good, and standout from the rest. I'm not sure if Sabrina is considered black, mixed, or something else, but I also think she is a very good singer.

If, by pretty good, you mean second-worst.

She is literally terrible. And I say this having been someone who loved her during the auditions. She just doesn't compare to any of this crop, and she couldn't find the right notes during the entire performance.

Geez, a girl gives a little trim, and all the sudden all the guys want to give her a free pass.

Since I am not bound by the same heterosexual codes of conduct, I am free to speak the truth and say that she is absolutely terrible.

I dunno. The ginger with the deer in headlights look and the soccer mom were pretty horrible compared to antonella when you factor in the whole package. And lets be realistic Lequaysha and the other black girl that acts like Julia Sweeney's character from Stuart Saves His family have no commercial appeal.

How about he loses his job b/c he is the biggest no talent on the planet? Bring back Dunkelman. Seacrest is the ultimate right place, right time moron.

I fail to see why you're more free to speak the truth than anyone else. I certainly wasn't giving her a free pass. My comment was not in regard to her looks. In my opinion she is not absolutely terrible.

She is for sure not in the top flight of this crop, I suspect that very few are, and she won't be in the finals. But in my view she does compare with those in the second tier.

I'm insulted by that accusation...I really am! I thought she sang better than 2-3 other girls...easily! I don't care if she Jenna Jameson or Mother Teresa, my evaluation is my opinion of her singing and I like her voice and presentation...I'd rank her 7th of the 10 girls right now! IMO, she should get through at least one more round!

Just so I'm clear, are you insulted by something I said, or are you quoting me because you agree with me? I actually agree with what you have just said about her.

dude. aj, it was a joke. a joke about how there are sites out there trying to get dudes horned on by her pics to vote for her.

total joke. lighten up. a gay joke now and then never hurt anyone.

but without leslie in the competition tonight, she is without a doubt the worst performer tonight.

did you watch her performance again? I made jordan replay it because i was trying to not be biased based on last week, and she was even worse when you really think about it and listen to it again. i'm not saying she's a bad singer, per se. her talents put her ahead of most of america period. but in this competition, she is a bottom dweller and with every chance to prove herself tonight, she did nothing to dig herself out of that spot.
