Antonella, Sundance speak out
Trust no one.
Well, almost no one.
That’s Antonella Barba’s message to the world, just hours after she was voted off “American Idol.” And, after someone plastered revealing photos of her all over the Internet, can you really blame her for feeling that way?
“These were photos of my personal life that got exploited without my consent,” she told The Associated Press. “I’ve learned to be careful who you trust.”
Barba also told reporters that she’s in no rush to return home to New Jersey. Instead, she’ll stay in Los Angeles and see which opportunities come her way.
“I want to see what I can do with this for a career. I want to strike while the iron is hot.”
Sadly, we think the only offers she’ll get will be of the X-rated variety. And apparently we’re not alone.
Idol chatter …
- Antonella isn’t the only fallen “Idol” speaking out.
Texan Jason “Sundance” Head appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s Los Angeles-based radio show Friday morning, confessing that he was shocked by the final vote tallies.
“I had not prepared myself for that … I was a little angry … at this point I’m just bitter this morning.”
With Sanjaya Malakar still in the running, we can’t say we blame him.
No word on Sundance’s plans for the future, but his relatives back home in Porter, just north of Houston, seem convinced that big things are on the horizon.
“I’m just glad he got this shot,” aunt Aline Head told The (Conroe) Courier. “America knows who he is. He’ll get something out of this.”

Sundance was one of my favorites since the auditions. Simon is usually right on and when he said, “I’ll be surprised if you are not in the finals,” I agreed. He had a few rough spots but the raw talent and absolute potential was there. AI needs to be careful who they choose for the top 24… I believe the judges should pick the top twelve week by week…that way at least we know there is talent throughout the top twelve and no one gets through without it. No disrespect to Sanjaya, a nice kid, but he is, at best, a high school performer and does not belong in this competition. I believe Sundance will make it in the business and it will be helped by his appearances on AI but I, for one, am sorry to have his tonal quality missing. In analysis, I would have to say fair really is something you go to in the summer and not applicable to life. J

Antonella… how did she even make it to Hollywood? This is why I stopped watching American Idol a couple of years ago. The judges aren’t consistent and then America votes the wrong people off the show. If you are a faithful fan, then you know what I mean. Antonella got WAAAAYYYY more chances then she should have, and people that were in the auditions that didn’t make it to Hollywood should have. Just the curiosity of how America votes keeps me tuned in every week. I’ve got my top three predictions and one was voted off last night. He was singing too many old school R&B songs that the majority of people who vote didn’t know.
