Elton John Says 'American Idol' Vote Is 'Racist'

I'd like to believe his observation is wrong, but it's also hard to explain
the vote totals.

Not when one can vote as many times as they want. It only costs you
money to vote.

If it has taken Elton *THIS LONG* to figure out what a racist country this
is, then I've been giving him a LOT more credit for the last thirty years
than he ever deserved!

I'm sure alot of the vote had to do with looks and many other irrelevant
things. John can't bitch too much though because half are black and he
probably needs to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Especially with music. Blacks have done well in the music industry as well
as American Idol. Are we suppose to feel sorry for them because they don't
claim 90% of the vote total???

Bruce, I would love for you to explain why anyone in alt.internet.wireless
is supposed to care what Elton John thinks about anything.

Sorry folks. That was supposed to be an private email, not a public
newsgroup post. I apologize for the button mis-clicking mistake.

Probably his way of trying to reclaim some relevance , and seem a bit
more cutting edge , controversial than his bloated , over-the-hill
white guy from another era - status suggests since whites are slated
to be a minority by the mid part of this century. Get on the
bandwagon.

I mean , how many guys were sitting around saying the same thing about
buying his white imitation gospel-rock-soul records when you can buy
Al Green ? Otis Redding?
