"Idol" Top 12 Say See Ya Later, Losers

Posted Mar 7th 2008 2:48PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ spies say the "Idol" party last night was fueled with emotion, and a little bitterness for good measure.
American Idol
We're told booted "Idol" Asia'h Epperson was torn up and overwhelmed, staying only for a few minutes before bolting. Contestants were most upset about Luke Menard getting the ax because they liked him -- they really, really liked him, although his singing kinda sucked.

Although no underage contestants were spotted Lohaning it up, Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay were pretty wrecked over his elimination. The two BFFs were inseparable.

Our spies say although all the contestants were there, there was no sign of Randy, Paula, Simon or Ryan. Contestants, meet pecking order.

Other "Idol" wannabeens of yore who came out to bask in the limelight for one last second included: "From Justin to Kelly" star Justin Guarini ('memba him), Season 4 creepy crooner Constantine Maroulis and last year's token rocker chick, Gina Glocksen -- who we're told looked fab.

18. TMZ: why was is necessary to edit your comment Asia'h Epperson was "torn up and pissed" to "torn up and overwhelmed"?
Pissed denotes a different emotion than overwhelmed. Call it as is!!

20. 23/6 ranks all of your favorite AI dudes in order of gayness, on a scale of one to four Seacreats. (Pretty nice, guys.)

21. I would like to suggest that Paula should be made to vote first. She only parrots what Randy Jackson says. She does not seem to have her own judgment of the contestants - she gropes for words and can't verbalize her thoughts well---and she focuses on the looks, makeup, clothes, etc....she should be reminded that AI is a singing competition, for heaven't sake! She always tries to be nice---Simon, cruel as he is, is very honest with his opinions!

Can't she be replaced with someone more of the times? She can dance, all right, but sing? I think a lot will agree, she's no good singer. I can't even remember any of her past records!

Faithful viewers should clamor that Paula be replaced....if she can't be made to vote first!

22. I felt worse for Asia'h, who had talent...than for Luke(Hugh Jackman lookalike). Talent supposed to be sooo much better this year? Not!

23. who cares about all these losers, the show cant be over soon enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

24. My friend on the hair and makeup staff said it was pretty obvious that Ryan had a big crush on Luke. Well, HELLO...he was the hottest guy on that show in 7 years. I thought the voters kept the hot ones regardless.???

25. Yikes, a few of those folks are almost scary looking!!
Great talents?? Whoever said that needs to get out more.
Some of these people are just plain bad. And just HOW many of the Idol folks have actually made it big in the music biz since this show started?

26. People please let's get that skunk haired chick off. She isn't a good singer, she has no appreciation for positive comments and she is FUGLY!

27. I could tell Asia'h Epperson was pissed during the show. I liked her the at first but don't she was good during the top 24. don't think any of the girls are that good. Guys will be going all the way! I think 3 guys in Top 3.

28. I am so happy that other people have noticed that Ramiele is a fake cry baby. She is always aware of the camera and makes sure to force her way into a highly visible spot when hugging the losers good bye. I bet top dollar that she used to work as a hooker in the Philippines before she saved enough money to come to the US and pretend to be an ultra-sensitive good girl!! She needs to be sent back to her skank go-go bar to pick up fat Germans on sex holidays!

29. I wish Pepe-la-Pew would go. (Amanda) She can't sing, she is just a screamer. And she can't find a note if it was right in front of her.

Also they interviewed both Gina Glocksen and Haley Scarnato (last year) and both said they were rooting for Michael Johns to win this year. From what they said, I don't think they care for Carly

Luke could sing, but I don't think they are looking for that type of high falsetto voice. But he is a hottie for sure.
One of the modeling agencies should sign him. Or one of the soap operas should grab him up as one of their hunks de jour

I also think Alaina Whitaker who was voted off last week could also sing. And she has a very nice manner and personality. Nicholodean would be smart and replace her for the loser Jaime Lynn in Zoey 101, as not only does she have a nice personality, and is very cute, but she can also sing. And most teens are tired of the Spears loser sisters

30. I don't mind gay, but is 'gay voice' really necessary?
