Tainted Love...
I've felt that throughout the competition thus far Simon Cowell has never seen
Danny Noriega as really what America will want to see in its "top" choice for an American Idol.
I don't know if Danny's effeminate ways bother Simon directly - but I do think it's somewhat obvious that his attitude, ultimate angry witch act that he keeps pulling each week is NOT what the American public sees as a mainstream icon to represent America.
And while it's probably not fair that Americans will likely give David Hernandez
a bit of a pass for his stripper past, but it is understandable that while on camera Hernandez has not flaunted his issues into the competition. Noriega CLEARLY has. One e-mailer relayed to me that last night their young son thought Danny was a "pretty girl" singing on television.
His song selections, his feminine dancing, hair-style, make-up etc. just keeps pushing into the camera week after week. Randy seems ambivalent, Paula's WAY into it, Simon - from what I'm seeing in his body language thinks its not connecting with the viewers.
And if that wasn't enough then there was THIS that emerged yesterday - the boy is wearing eye-shadow: (GRAPHIC LANGUAGE WARNING: Do Not Click if offended by vulgarity)
