The person who actually asked Casey James to remove his shirt was NOT Kara but RANDY

Totally agree with you!

PS/With the S9 contestants, and Simon leaving, I agree with srt2gryffndr that this will be the last of AI. Hard to beat the S8 talent pool.

Jim Cantiello...I so look forward to your "Idol In 60 Seconds" clips. Question...I'm wondering what your take is on Kara Dioguardi and her sophmoric crush on contestant Casey James? Isn't this sexual abuse to ask a contestant to take off their shirt during an audition? I thought that maybe the producers would tell her to dial it down a notch...but obviously, sexual comments make for better television. I can't imagine what would have happened if Simon or Randy would have made those types of comments to a female contestant. And with the allegations that Paula Abdul went through several years ago regarding a suspect relationship with a contestant, I would think the producers and Dioguardi would be on hyper-drive to keep all appearances on the up-and-up. So, what's your take on this?

"The possible religious guy made the possible gay guy, his *****." [Kris is on the christian charts :D] Jim you are F'N Awesome. Love that you have Adam's most sensual performance playing on the monitor. I will have to watch this 60 bit to see what the AI9 people do.. will they even fill 60 seconds?

This was EXCELLENT, Jim. I'll miss all of the people from Season 8. Even Gokey, believe it or not. Well. Sort of. Anyway... best top two EVER. With or without benefits. ;)

Jim, you are terrible! I LOVE it. It's a wonder Adam and Kris still talk to you. Keep up the good work!
