So the next victim of America’s poor voting is David Hernandez! Hernandez has a great voice so what’s the real reason why he was voted off? Let’s take a look at this, last week America voted off Danny Noriega and many people felt like it was because he was gay. So what happened this week?

The same! Is America gunning for the flamboiant idols and leaving the holler-than-thou to become the next Idol winner? If we learned anything from the days of Taylor-I-can’t-sing-Hicks is America loves to back the straight and narrow *church* vote. Why else did Taylor win he shouldn’t even made the top 12.

If you really want to succeed on American Idol then join a church and talk about it during the entire process. America will back you like no other. Now I’m not saying there is anything wrong with going to church and whatnot, I am saying if you are too flamboiant you won’t be getting the votes you need to win Idol.

It’s very similar to politics, actually it is politics, to the remaining 11 contestants get out your crosses and be sure to tell the person interviewing you how much you “thank god for the opportunity” to be on American Idol 7.

American Idol season 7 is down to the top 12 (11 after tonight) and two of them are young mormon (LDS) singers Brooke White and David Archuleta.

White, a 24-year-old nanny from Mesa, Ariz., didn’t say outright that she was Mormon, but during her first audition in front of the three-judge panel she made her standards clear.

“I’ve never seen a rated ‘R’ movie,” White said.

She also said she chose to never smoke or drink alcohol. After her audition, judge Randy Jackson said there was “something sort of pure” about her. Simon Cowell, another judge, threatened to bring her “to the dark side,” to which she said, “I dare you.”

Not a lot has been said on idol about White and Archuleta’s religion, which may be the reason for some fans’ opinions that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will have little influence on the show and its fans. I disagree and I think White has been getting the “church” vote since the voting started a few weeks ago.
