"Idol" Top 12 Say See Ya Later, Losers

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.

47. Howdy Doo - I'm amazed by your stupidity. Obviously you're a racist, as you stereotype people as hookers by virtue of them being Filipino. Molly, I don't know what you're talking about. I highly doubt that you're Filipino yourself, so if you only knew the etymology of that word, you wouldn't use it that way. Folks, you can be a hater and call them losers if you like. But don't be racist.

48. To: Howdy Doo
I dont care about your opinion on Ramiele's cry baby reaction whenever there's a friend of hers being voted off. What I care about is your very poor knowledge of my country ,Philippines and about Filipinos. Yes, it's true that there are hookers here just like every country has. Atleast they get paid well by foreigners unlike there,,, you give it for free for a 1 night stand,,acting like hookers, hehe Anyway, I really dont want to compare what you have there and here because we have different cultures and status in life. I just want to point out that be careful with your statement. It's so generalized! You'll get alot of flaming reactions just like this one and Howdy Haters from us. We pinoys are not "plastic" people,,,we are just true and emotional. I dont think its right and its a stupidity for someone to say somebody is a whore when you didnt see any proofs and haven't check her background yet. Just want to tell you also that look around,,look around in schools,,,,, we Filipinos now are educating the Americans,,,hehe so that only means ...........if you are smart you'll get my point (dont look down on any people: they are better than you)

49. They're all LOSERS! But the biggest losers of all are the brain dead masses who actually believe these walking pieces of human waste are talented. If they're so talented, why do they need a stupid tv show to get known?

50. I was relieved to see Danny go. Just imagine what could have happened to Ryan if he had told Danny to "take a stool"...Dude, back off, not my stoole, the seat over there!

51. To Howdy Doody: Ramiele is not a hooker - she is a young nursing student who comes from a decent family - you should not put down Filipinos - be careful of your words - they may haunt you someday! You may not like her, but a lot do - so focus on constructive criticisms -! if she cries - that's her right and if you don't want to see it - stop watching AI!

52. Lex iand Anne are both right -and a lot of readers too, who pointed out how Howdy Doody 's racist statement about Ramiele and the Filipinos in general, is super low----Filipinos, for your information, Howdy ,are well educated and about 90% are college graduates who land in good and high paying jobs ---you ought to visit our country to see for yourself that the Filipinos are educated and cultured. Hookers are everywhere...but do not think ALL FIlipinos are hookers---Ramiele has a God given talent and we are proud of her. How about you? Do you have any talent---and if you do, do you use it wisely? I guess your talent is wise-cracking stupid remarks like what you said! Shame on you...watch out, you will get a lot of flack from Filipinos all over!

53. What is the deal with Brooke White? Her vocals are so-so.......good enough for an open mic night I suppose. The whole "fake crying" thing and biting her lip thing is getting old!! She is depending on her Mormon "good girl" image to get her through. I think as the show progresses, America will eventually figure out that this is a singing contest and she certainly is NOT the best.
As the contestants are asked to sing different genres, the most talented ones will shine.......I pick both Davids (the ugly one and the Mormon one) as well as the Cook chick (getting beat up by SImon only will make her stronger). Let's face it, the 11 left are ALL pretty good................now it is just a waiting game to see who screws up on stage.

54. Danny Noriega NEVER should have left. Danny was the best contestant i've seen ever since I started watching!

55. Thanks for the interesting news

56. Personally, I liked the earlier talent where these kids had no previous experience. Right off the strret..the farm..or what have you. Today, their just coming out of the woodwork (and will continue to outpoor in the future) to get the recognition they failed to get on their own. They're opportunists and it hurts the ones who's fresh talent would remain unrecognized.
I loved to watch them grow each week. Now it's simply watching already seasoned talent who couldn't compete with the competion in business. Let's get back to the basics where it all began and give the bedroom performing, shower singing, or wherever they may sing, the spotlight. I'm predicting the next season to be the outpouring of performers who failed to get a recording contract. When Idol first aired I think alot of who's on their now, thought idol was cheesy. But now they see where it can get them and just you wait and see idol eventually go down the tubes.
