Those type of contestants makes the show more exciting and what fun it is to see them develop into terrifc singers and/or entertainers. <blockquote>Oh well, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll probably not like her, just like I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t like the plants of AI7.</blockquote> I was also predisposed into not liking them. There has to be a lot of singers out there that would love the exposure AI gives. The plants can stay home as far as I am concerned. <strong> My all-time favorite "American Dream" is Anthony Fedorov.</strong> I dislike plants as they take away what I consider a basic premise of the show – finding undiscovered talent.

The implication being that AI solicited this person particularly because of their past 'success', for lack of a better word. The way I see it is these people are entitled to audition if they meet the criteria. Period. That being said, the way they fenagled around the Carly story sucked, and she was duplicitous in that. Instead of just saying 'when I was a wee lass, I had a record deal that went horribly wrong...", she was defensive and that made her seem fake. Her past did not preclude her from being on the show, and frankly didn't give her an advantage either. I think that everyone deserves second chances. I usually don't even look at the spoiler threads because it colors my perception of the people when I know too much. I like to watch the show with as little prior information as possible so that I don't watch it with biased eyes. So I guess, like always I will watch and see. If I like her singing her past will be insignificant to me. If her singing sucks it still will be. I guess I always get my hackles up with the word ‘plant’ itself.

It may sour them on Joanna or OTOH give her an unfair advantage. It doesn't seem right, either way. I remember the Barbara Walters piece, and I think the vast AI audience is going to also.

I really liked Charles, thought he was a great opener on the AI2 tour. It's too bad he didn't get any push - he could have been the "pre-Chris Brown" Chris Brown, so-to-speak.

The reason I prefer Rockstar to Idol is it has more experienced(older) contestant that could give better performances. Micheal and Carly's problem was they were not good during semi, where the real competition began, so they seemed quite overrated. Yeah, whatever.

The second I heard her name I knew who she was. At least with Carly and MJ, I could say I'd never heard of them before therefore it didn't bother me. When I already have this much familiarity with a possible contestent before the season even starts, it seems like a line is starting to be crossed.

Any struggling musician can record his own material and sell it online or from the back of his truck (as Cook did). That's quite different than having execs sink millions into you, making connections within the industry, and actually getting a break, which makes one a "plant". Sounds to me like this Joanna has had more than one break. I say give this chance to someone who needs AI to get a foot in the door, not to someone who was already inside the room but wasn't good enough to stay.

The slight problem the girl is used to the big stage and preforming while others may not have that expeariance but sing as well or better.
