i don't watch tv so i don't know what's going on, but i know that when mainstream america votes for anything they choose poorly. did simon make a statement a while back that most americans are still pretty racist because they always vote off african american contestants who are significantly more talented in favor of some pretty face? maybe i dreamed it but i thought i heard that..

The case is more that we're offered very poor pickins' :)
I don't follow Idol by actually watching it much but wife-supreme loves it. By way of my insane pop-culture absorbing super-powers (and the internets) I still sorta know what's up. Actually you have slightly mixed together something Simon said with something Elton John said! Simon suggested voters like pretty people (which doesn't explain this Scott character) and Elton John said we're racist, which was strange because a black woman won last season when said that. I suspect Elton just likes to hear himself talk, there wasn't a lot of logic in his thesis.
As for Scott, I read this article which examined his inexplicable ability to stay on board. There's also apparently an already begun effort to suggest that the voting system is still messed up and that Constantine guy's phone line didn't work this week, so that'll prove juicy no doubt
