61. Most Idol contestants seem so Trailer Parkish. Very few have class or voices. or breeding.

62. That Indiana Wants Me guys comments are right on. America really doesnt want dui's and smoking and there are laws I heard coming to NY about trans fat in food so heavy people will have to watch it. American Idol should get with it and not let people who are drunk drivers on their show. They will get found out anyway, look at all the past other Idol people who got found out about their past once they won something.

64. So, 20 years from now when Amanda runs for President we can drag out this "breaking story" to discredit her. For now, it doesn't seem a LARGE mistake in her past should affect her singing in a talent show. It ain't rocket science.

65. Idol is boring. Same 'ol, same 'ol. I watched Super Nanny last night instead.

66. she sounds like a two pack a day smoker, washed down with a gallon of rot gut booze. I wouldn't want her as a nurse.

69. TMZ, you guys have done it again! You mean to tell me that someone that pled guilty to DUI going on like 2 years now is newsworthy? Please! For all we know, the author of this article has probably done worse! She messed up, paid her dues and I don't think she's done it again; why bring it up now. Hmm, TMZ, do you have a hidden agenda that we need to know about or your teeny-boppers of writers are on early Spring break? Lame story TMZ, very lame! Peace!

What are you talking about? Did you read the article at all or comprehend what you read if you did? How is she a star? She was arrested almost 2 years ago and released. What do you mean "they will let her go" ? She was not on American Idol 2 years ago and what has being rich have to do with this you Ninny?

TMZ, y'all need to start screening some of these posters for real. Peace!

74. 66... I bet you wouldn't hate them if you were dying in an ER somewhere, now would you?!

71.. You are so ignorant that you cannot even spell alcoholic. Your mommy needs to buy you a dictionary.

75. "My goodness I thought the state of Indiana has come further along than what she represents of it."

You've obviously never been to Indiana. Drunk drivers are actually endearing to what that state really is.
