46. This doesn't matter anyway. She was terrible on Idol last night. Truly sucked ass. She's proving to be a one trick pony, trying to channel Janis Joplin (and not doing it very well). Amanda needs to go back to singing in bars.

47. just another exmaple of why AI is seeing the start of its decline---the lowest ratings this year they have ever had and declining more each week. They are letting losers like this slip by, not doing background checks...America doesnt want convicted felons or convicted misdemeanor types on the show, especially if they are from the State people live in---people from IN are not going to be proud this goof is now representing their state. I wont even comment on that left over look from the late 80's she wears, enough on here already have.

AI will go the way Who wants to be a Millionaire show did...was a must see for a few years than fizzled to reruns and a day time show. Its this kind of stuff that makes its credibility suffer.

its not cool these days to be a drunk driver, past or present....not my rules, its Americas rules and we all should know that, just like America is not cool to smoking anymore and soon will be after fat people to not eat so much.

48. What's the matter, TMZ Chimpanzees, run out of things to be bitchy about? No more stories? Well, guess what...YOU ARE BEING SCOOPED. That's right, while other agencies are out there getting stories, you sit in your offices on your asses & dredge up years old BS because you're too lazy for anything else. Then, say "story developing...". WHAT A JOKE. If you're not going to even try to pretend you're journalists, you should go back to selling used cars...

49. It's always interesting to me how TMZ is in the business of trying to expose someone to discredit them completely. Whatever happened to "paying your debt to society"?

So if she hadn't been on American Idol, would we have known about this?

I would hate to be in the business of destroying others for fun. Is it just me or does this seem awfully high school-ish?

53. Does anyone really carea about this? What does this have to do with Ameican Idol? Nothing.
Everyone makes mistakes a few times during their life and will continue to make a few in the future.
I really dont like this contestants musical sound but she paid her dues and just let the DUI thing go.
It makes no difference to me.
