The judges on American Idol have a bit of a double standard when it comes to contestants on their show being sex symbols.
Would-be Idol Bruce Dickson interviewed last week that he was planning to save himself for marriage and wanted his first kiss to be after his “I do’s.” However, he was given the kiss-off with Randy’s advice to “kiss some girls” before auditioning again next year.
However, this week brought 16-year-old contestant and Catholic schoolgirl Amy Flynn, who told Simon, Paula, and Randy that she is a virgin and volunteers for the abstinence course Students Teaching About Respecting Sexuality.
Their responses?
Randy: “I love that, I think that’s nice.”
Simon: “I think you’re absolutely right … I’m going to try to live by that code. We’re on the same page.”
Paula just drooled on the table and twirled her hair, so who knows where she stands on teen sex.
Isn’t that just the typical double standard?
Paula was just trying to contain her laughter.
Simon was being sarcastic when he said that. He was rolling his eyes.
I think you’re trying too hard to find a reason to snark on American Idol.
Oh, and by the by, the virgin boy who didn’t make it through couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. The girl could sing.
