91. It happens! And it happened to her a long time ago. So what, leave her alone. I don't care for her singing, just not my type, but really, who cares about something like this that happened 2 years ago!?!?!

93. That Girl (Amanda)...thinks she is Wayyyyy to Kool for School... & her Hair come out better than her song did, on last night's "American Idol" show... Well girl , ever since I seen you riding you're Harley on the 1st show thinking you were all that ... I can't stand seeing you let alone hearing your'e voice... you ain't got a chance in Hell ... & I can't imagine you being a Nurse & actually caring about someone..(other than yourself)....American Idol always has to have someone wild ,crazy & off the wall so why not you I gues...However , the only thing that you might get out of this whole ordeal for you is ANOTHER "DUI" in the makings yet to come...Get ready for the fall from Grace....you're 15 mi's + of fame is about over...Nice Lil' Dance though!!!

95. That was the past about the rocking nurse. If this is how it's going to be, then bring it all out with the judges and you.
All people make mistakes and learn by then. Don't judge a person until you look in your own back yard.

96. Who really cares...seems to me she just wanted to get the DUI out of the way BEFORE she becomes a start instead of joining the Paris-Nicole-Linsey-Brittaney club and screwing up a promising career.

98. Wow, that is barely over the limit for the date that it happened. Can't believe it's being brought up! Does not have any effect on her singing ability.

102. This is the type of crap that keeps the media in hot water with the general public. WHO GIVES A DAM, this was last yr. Since that time she seems to be wking to improve her self.Give her break. I wish we, the gernral public could follow and find some goooood dirt on some of these reporters who seem to love to track down who's in the news, that would be cool....

103. As I"m reading all of your responses, I am so glad you are supporting Amanda. Along her life journey, she went down a wrong path. It's in the past now. But I'm gald you're not holding it against her!
