3. Have them all come over to my place and disrobe.
You know, so I can make an informed decision.

4. I only watched a few minutes but notice more blatant...
...aknowledgment of the looks aspect of things. People with good voices were told they couldn't go on, pretty much only because they lacked the looks of an american idol.

Pathetic, but I have to give them credit for their honesty.

19. Haven't they had some non-model type winners
I don't really keep up with the show, but haven't many of the winners been normal, everyday people and not some supermodel type?

21. What about that heavy black guy from a year or so
ago? I can't remember his name (I don't watch the show) but I think I saw him on Oprah once. He seemed fairly heavy-not Justin Timberlake thin by any means.

5. Look
like normal healthy young ladies.
Gee, not the bony California look.
Simon used to be a bit of a chunk himself.

8. Ryan must have put him on a diet.
It was either lose the gut or "Seacrest OUT!".

6. Rubenesque would be a better term.
Our vision of the perfect female form is bastardized beyond all measure.

Even as a constitutionally "skinny" person who cannot gain weight no matter how hard I try, I think this obsession with everyone being a stick figure is ridiculous.

Marilyn Monroe would be considered "fat" by today's standards and she was a sexy, beautiful woman.

It's just warped.

7. And we wonder WHY
young girls and women fret over their looks. Diet themselves into illness and even obesity. Yes diet to obesity. lose a few gain a few. I think it is tragic that young people, male and female hold themselves to standards set on a television program.

VERY UNHEALTHY.


it's truly disgusting, the message this sends.

9. I can't tell from that picture.
They could be normal weight or over weight, but they certainly aren't obese (judging by their faces). I didn't see the show last night.

Do you think they've become more critical this year of the weight of the contestants? I haven't been watching to know. I know that several of the good singers on past shows were slightly overweight.

11. I didn't think they were dressed right
They are clearly not "overweight" as Simon called them. But they were dressed in a way that didn't flatter.

15. They looked like me.
I don't normally watch this, but I actually saw a little of it due to other factors of someone else watching it and all I could think was "Oh, the snotty guy would think I was fat." Anyway, I'll take it especially considering I've got a good ten years on them and have had 9 and 10 pound babies. Screw the people who expect us all to be size 2's. I'm content with myself.

17. Simon makes lots of comments about weight
No they are not fat. Not every woman needs to be Twiggy.
