Antonella Barba School Girl

Until Antonella Barba gets kicked off American Idol, America will continue to debate whether she amounts to anything more than the controversy over her World War II Memorial pictures and other sexy photos.

One half of America seems to think the obvious: that Antonella Barba is not very good at singing, and that she deserves to get kicked off… last week. Simon, Randy and Paula seem to agree. They were disgusted that the 2 obvious picks for last week’s vote off didn’t get voted off.

The other half of of Americans seem to love controversy and place celebrity higher than singing ability. So far, the only American Idol scandal to break this year has been the leakage of racy pics of Antonella Barba. Whether it’s her sexy school girl pose, or the wet t-shirt see through images at the WWII Memorial fountain, or the faux images of her having sex, she certainly has people talking. Some people even speculate that Barba has plans to pose in Playboy, and many would love to see her do it.

So the million dollar question going into the next few weeks of American Idol is whether the Antonella Barba story will continue to dominate. Will she learn how to sing and come out surprising us all? It’s possible if she picks better songs, but her history of picking songs has been bad. But even if it turns out that Barba can’t sing, will her sexy photos and topless pics be enough to carry her through? Will American Idol the show get exposed through the Antonella Barba? Will we discover the sure fire way to win the American Idol competition (get topless pictures taken!)?

If Barba wins American Idol, will we see American Idol turn into a slutfest? I guess we’ll find out.
