AI controversy. no, not that one...

so it looks like i'm going to have to reevaluate who my favorite AI season 7 contestant is going to be. because i can't support a song stealing/royalty screwing asshat. complete and utter fail, Michael Johns. i would be a hypocrite if i supported you after denouncing the band KANE after they screwed one of their band members out of royalties and are still pretending as if he was never a part of the band. sidenote: how's that record deal goin', boys? ha!

seriously, though. i can't support Michael Johns if that's the kind of person he is. so Jason Castro? keep up the good work and you will be my new number one!

thanks to [livejournal.com profile] expatiates for the heads up on Michael Johns. i knew something had to be wrong for us not to be agreeing on AI contestants. ;)

OMG lol dude the first thing i thought of when i heard this was damn not another Kane! I don't know if its 100% true with Micheal i have only heard a few mumblings and figured it could be some residual jealousy rearing its head, but i don't know - like you said after everything we went through before; if it is true i would be a total hypocrite to support him, but his voice is so awesome and he's so pretty, i am really upset about it! Jason is also one of my favs so far though too so that's good! :D

i don't think it's jealousy because if you look at the dates on that site it's way before Idol. i believe it.

and honestly, anyone can say the same about the KANE situation too.

I didn't see the link - I heard the rumours last week..goes off to investigate.

I don't know for me i was very involved in the fandom at the time, so i feel i knew a lot more about it than i do normally with these things, (though not like you guys had to deal with it) I feel the Kane thing was more people didn't want to believe it rather than it wasn't out there to see. the internet was more open back then as some people didn't realise how easy it was for others to access everything, read boards etc etc
