text: the public obviously has no taste...? how on earth did elliot get chosen over mandissa? elliot has no talent or looks to be a singing star....he's butt ugly and can't sing worth crap... mandissa, though she may be fat, has a beautiful face and a wow! voice... geez, that's screwed up.  mandisa is easily in the top half of the remaining contestants based on singing.  ace, pickler, and bucky especially, should have been gone before mandisa.  wow, looks like america sees that either she's black or fat and decides to not vote for her?  this is definitely not a singing competition.
