Bitter "Idol" Reject Claims She's Not Bitter

Posted Apr 22nd 2008 7:15PM by TMZ Staff

Carmen RasmusenBitter: n. 1) One who complains about the length of time spent with a singing coach on a show one was kicked off of more than 5 years ago. 2) Carmen Rasmusen.

Despite the clear definition of the word, the "American Idol" wannabeen went on the attack today, claiming a recent article wrote for her local paper bashing "American Idol" was not penned out of bitterness, just insightfulness. Rrrright.

According to Rasmusen, "The only point I was trying to make was that some contestants get more attention than others."

Apparently, she missed the part where she bitched at length about getting beat out by a guy who spent more time with a vocal coach.

No. She's not bitter at all. She's just a crybaby.

17. she's cute, smart and nice. she prolly did get trashed for being too white bread. but she's actually just not really high-watt star power in any specific way. she's stuck with just being a beautiful, talented, intelligent, articulate miracle of a white girl. so just go on with what you got.

18. Bitter or not, she's absolutely right about some contestants getting better treatment. Simon Cowell is making sure that the utterly boring contestant with the most boring singing performances, David Archuleta, is going to the top.

19. American Idol is rigged. Americans are so stupid they fall for every trick in the book.

This is what is put on the idol website and on the end of every show. Remember when Sanjia was winning and winning
and then his last week, his just magically lost?? Well because producers decided to pull his votes and make him lose.

The real story here is why Fox doesn’t release the total number of votes by contestant each week and why some of the voting results seem to defy common sense. They have a disclaimer that amounts to them getting to choose the winner. There is a disclaimer saying producers reserved the right to choose the winner.

The producers make sure to add this disclaimer: "VOTES ARE TALLIED AT THE PRODUCERS DISCRETION." This means that when producers get the votes, they can count them, decide they don't like the vote, then just decide for themselves who gets kicked off the show. Or, what happens the majority of the time is that the producers don't even count the votes. They just decide who gets booted. Sanjaya is keeping ratings up. Why get rid of him. Also remember this for all you idiots that send in text-message votes. YOU'RE PAYING FOR THOSE TEXTS.

22. Why is it that Carmen's religion is part of anything? I don't see anyone commenting if someone is Catholic or Jewish, etc. Just for the record....MORMONS ARE NOT POLYGAMISTS and have not been for over a hundred years. The people you see in the news who practice polygamy are fundamentalists and have nothing to do with the Mormon Church. Get your facts straight!

23. Talent will also cause a person to get more attention too. Who knew?

24. Carmen is just as annoying in real life as she was on the show. She did not deserve to make it as far as she did, there were other better singers who left before her. Carmen grow up, the memories of your singing are more than enough punishment, it's over.
