Constantine Maroulis Asshole

You know what’s the most disgusting part of this interview? After all the filth, he said that he found Jesus again.

The funniest? He’s proud of his gaydar. LOL

I hate you. I really do. I hope they fire you.

Warning: Offensive

Update: Please contact Fox Reality and tell them to remove this guy from the American Idol Extra and future guestings on American Idol.

Well. I appreciate your warning, Rickey. That was offensive. You know, it sounded like stupid drunken party talk. Why would he say those things when he knew he was being recorded? Constantine Maroulis is a complete jerk–I haven’t liked him ever b/c he’s so incredibly self absorbed. Even if he thinks those folks are gay, why would you say it? I can’t get over that–Personal stuff is up to the person to say. That’s it. And the truth is that Constantine doesn’t know anything. You know, I never watch him.

What a complete trailer-trash skank he is. No class whatsoever. He is just jealous cause he knows Archie will have a long and successful career, and he knows that he himself will not. He is barely holding on to his 15 minutes at this point, just my opinion. Guess he needs to get his name in the media some way, after all he can’t get it there with talent, or looks for that matter. What sober person would ever think this guy looks attractive??? Ewwwww.

Guys, don’t even comment or listen to it anymore….
Best way to deal with this crap is to not deal with it in at all…Moving on…
Goodmawnin Rickey!

I didn’t listen because it would anger me more, but I’ve heard about the comments. Where’s the petition to get the sleazebag fired?

I’m glad he found Jesus towards the end there, because he’s completely lost his mind!

How sad to be so jealous of a couple of teenagers.

Constantine is a jerk. Why he is picking on the two sweet young men I will never know? Jealous I guess.

I always knew he was a cheeseball and full of himself but I didn’t know he was such an idiot. He should be fired.

I never understood his modest popularity. My thoughts were he bordered on FUGLY. Now it’s been confirmed: FUGLY, STUPID with no manners, and hopefully unemployed, forever. Karma baby, watch out.

Wasn’t that bad until he made that “same sex” comment and then he fell off a cliff. Really odd as entertainment news and Broadway are the only things he has going for him, and he disses both in about 30 secs. And the radio guys didn’t even have to steer him into saying that stuff, he jumped with it on his own. I was tired of him back in season 5.

hey this is my first post… anyway I’m from India so i really don’t know the substance of the interview but from what you have written I am simply disgusted… who does this FOOL (Constantine) think he is… I say its sheer jealousy… pay no attention to him… ahh i’ve always wanted to post here…

Constantine is a joke and a jerk. The reason he has so many things in the fire is because he can’t make a living at any one of them because no one is interested. He would get laughed off the stage if he were to replace Seacrest. He is his biggest and only fan.

Normally if I don’t have anything good to say about anyone, I keep quiet. But this interview angered me.

David Archuleta is such a great kid… why does everyone have to pull him down… the world is very unfair… IMO he’s a real talent… a musician… he connects so brilliantly with the songs… just amazing… ALL YOU HATERS… leave him alone… he just wants to sing and singing is what he does best…

treb on May 24, 2008 at 9:07 am

hey can someone fill me in on what he actually said…

treb on May 24, 2008 at 9:08 am

It’s guy talk that should never have been publicly aired, it’s humiliating for them and not for those who they are talking about. Archie is cute really, whatever decision he makes sexually is no business of everyone. As for Sanjaya, I never really watch past idols, I love the pic Rickey, I wish Danny becomes really successful as a host, and then someday will face off with Constantine about gay issues, ha ha ha.

Constantine, you are A JERK……..
Sanjaya and Archuleta much cuter and handsome than you and they are definetely not gay, You . yes you Constantine, you are so FUGlY. Ha, ha what…. born again Christian, how come but said bad thing about others, You are definetely born again Satanic………

Ugh… Constantine is really full of himself, isn’t he? I can’t believe he had the nerve to say all that about David A. and then say he’s found Jesus again! Anyway, it’s not that big of a deal, since I doubt anyone really cares whether some Idol has-been/never-was thinks David is gay or not…

I, for one, cannot ignore this kind of crap, and won’t tolerate it. If nothing is said, then it continues. If his best friends are gay, then he would know better. He is the worst piece of filth. I am happy to write and complain.

I hope they fire him.

TXlovesJC on May 24, 2008 at 9:59 am

The sad thing is that their conversation is really just a reflection of the attitude of many.

It wasn’t the fact that he claims to have “gaydar” or even that he publicly speculated about David A.’s sexuality (which was inappropriate) — it’s the fact that they imply that it’s a negative.
I’m the proud mother of a gay son. He just is who he is. So the sad reality that his sexuality is something to be ridiculed for the amusement of others is really upsetting.

I’m not going to lower myself to that level by firing back, even though my first impulse was to fly off the handle. I just hope a day will come when a person’s sexuality is a non-issue.

David Archuleta is too popular that’s why he’s or she is jealous. The kid is kind,that’s why people love him.He is a good singer!My Mom and I love David A.! Hope he’ll visit Philippines!

Wow. Sorry folks but what a fucking conceited asshole he is. I wanted Cookie to win but meant no disrespect for David A. and didn’t say anything bad about him personally. But wow for a supposed “adult” that Constantine is supposed to be and he says this bullshit. There is no way he could ever replace Ryan in any of the “20″ jobs that Ryan has. As for other stuff he said, he seems to forget that during his days on Idol, Season 4, that Bo Bice was the REAL first Rocker that Idol had and he made the finale and had a shot at winning as well.

Constantine Maroooooolis, you are a fucking piece of shit.

Rickey, I apologize for my offensive and foul language and wouldn’t blame you for editing it. And yes, it was a personal attack at Constantine but not any of the posters on this site. He just really got me riled up and I vented and can’t go back to edit. Sorry Rickey.

That gay cruise wil be packed with women. Women who wouldn’t turn out for a free Constantine appearance.

In the mean time he’s busy calling out bingo at casinos.

What does “gaydar” mean?

I always thought this guy was ugly and creepy looking and if he ever did take over Ryan’s job, I would quit watching AI. Whether anyone is gay or straight is really none of his business or ours. If he claims he’s found Jesus and still talks like this, I think he’s going to the wrong church.

I wish Fox would fire him.

tantraflower, you expressed very well what I was thinking and feeling. I don’t want to lower myself to Constantine’s level either and express what I first thought and felt after hearing this. The most offensive of all is that this remains an issue.

mahrikka on May 24, 2008 at 11:27 am

Cookie, it’s no excuse that he talk that way, on or off the air. Sorry but if my guy friends started talking crap about David like that in front of me, I’d have to lose them as friends. It’s inexcusable in any setting. And Constantine, thanks for sharing your news with us, b/c the things you usually notice in others (gaydar?) is usually related to something that you see in yourself.

Virginia5 on May 24, 2008 at 11:29 am
32

I did email them, Brooke. This guy has always made my skin crawl and now I can see why. What a low character.

Hey Constantine, you seem like a media whore so you may read this. Sooooo sorry that your career hasn’t been successful. Maybe if you learned how to sing, you too could be hired to perform on a cruise line. You might even fill up half the seats.

Comparing David to Constantine, it is overwhelmingly obvious that David has a beautiful soul and Contantine is an empty vessel.

Kobisan on May 24, 2008 at 11:31 am

Blahblahblah
I’m surprised people see this as shocking. I’ve always thought he was a greasy no talent sleazebag.

And although I don’t agree at all with anything he said… Virginia5… seriously.. you would give up your friends just b/c they talked smack about someone you don’t even know? That’s just… weird.
I can understand getting mad, but to totally drop them as friends… for someone YOU DON”T KNOW……. you don’t see the problem with that?

Pallaton on May 24, 2008 at 11:37 am

um dont want to sound ignorant but who is that guy constawhatever is he something big.
the guy needs a few lessons from archie on how to behave in public i’m sure this guys mother would be embarrassed to hear him speak this way. my goodness this guy has no class and yep have to agree he isnt very attractive. In the end all i can say is karma baby, it comes back to bite you in the A$$.

36

This is ridiculous. The fact that he claims to have “gay friends” is ridiculously suspect, because I don’t know ANYONE who would tolerate that who is gay… OR straight for that matter. Plus, how stupid could he be to bash two of the most popular people from the most popular show on television? A show which just HIRED him to be a part of it next year? He just show himself in the foot, and only looks like a desperate fool who is trying to get his name out there by being a jerk, since he couldn’t do it by singing alone.

I’m a cookie, but still LOVE Archuleta, and gay or straight, he doesn’t deserve ANYTHING negative said about him. He was humble, kind and ridiculously talented on this entire season of Idol.

WTF was that? That is so wrong. I can’t stand Connie anyway, he is so full of himself. I hope his career goes down the drain like his stupid album. Sorry Connie, you are never getting Ryan’s job. There are WAY better candidates. Look at itunes Connie, Archie is already successful with the title. He will do well regardless unlike your crappy cd.

whimzical on May 24, 2008 at 12:20 pm

Yeah, he was REALLY disrespectful. I actually dont even know exactly who he is because i only watched this season. heheeheheh
But anyway, if any of them are gay, i just hope they dont go on dating girls just so people wont judge them. I hope they can be happy and that their fans will understand and not judge, cause i believe its no one’s business who other people like or dislike and what they do in their private lives.

butterqflyfly on May 24, 2008 at 12:29 pm

Con-man: Gay, straight, what evah. Archie and Sanjaya are talented, and their fans think they’re gorgeous. End of story. Unless you think you’re gonna date or marry one of them, who the heck CARES. But that’s not what this is about. This is nothing more than a pathetic attempt to somehow link your name with artists far more popular and current than you. It’s all been done before – especially the “omg he’s gay” approach. Try and come up with something more original and entertaining.

Oh yeah, and just so you know, gay men CAN be total chick magnets. Just ask Rickey.

hesterprune on May 24, 2008 at 12:46 pm
42

I forgot to mention that I totally abhor this trash talk that they did, I know most unaware “straight” guys do this talk, but just see how other “straight” guys like David Cook, Michael Johns talk to and deal with Archie. The boy is a kid, if ever he turns out to be gay it is his prerogative and nobody else, if he is not gay, it is discrimination to out him out this early when they really don’t know him in public radio. The kid maybe effeminate at times, but actually it’s very cute and dorky, I saw his extra appearance and when he walk out of their studio with a backpack, it’s just so cute. I’m really convinced now that he is genuinely innocent as any kid with that kind of upbringing can be.

It’s stupid that Constantine says he have many gay friends and he have a gaydar, he probably encounter man gay people, but I doubt if any of them are their friends or if he treat gay people as friends, as if the way he is talking, he isn’t in any way friendly.

This guy seems like a worm, parasiting on whatever “hosting gig” or issues he can suck on. *LOL*

CookieMonster on May 24, 2008 at 12:47 pm

Is there any way to get a message directly to Constantine? I’m really angered b his comments (as we all are). I’ve been to 2 websites I found (Bestweekever.tv and EvilBeetGossip.film.com) and left some appropriate comments. Hopefully they will make their way to Constantine eventually. Although I doubt that he would even care. How in the world can he SAY that he foud Jesus??? Last time I checked – a person who finds Jesus does NOT trash others – especially a very, very talented 17 year old young man. I met David Achuleta yesterday in LA and I can honestly say that he is the most sincere, gracious, humble, caring person I have come across in years. I hate the politis of this whole thing. Something abut the voting just doesn’t smell right.

Daffy08 on May 24, 2008 at 12:48 pm
44

I’m gay, and have hated Constantine since I first saw him, and this was hardly offensive to me.

What is offensive is the way everyone cracks down into defensive mode when he suggests someone is gay. By crying “NO HE IS NOT!” it really comes across as sending the message that being gay is a bad thing. Constantine didn’t say anything negative about David, and I personally believe he is indeed gay. That shouldn’t be a bad thing, though, and all these defensive replies say quite a bit.

When I hear someone accuse a person of being gay, I don’t care. It’s when society feels that we have to cover up/deny being gay it when it hurts. Constantine mentioned all his best friends are gay.

The same sex cruise thing was the only mildly hurtful bit, but I could brush that off. I sure as hell wouldn’t mind being on that cruise.

i cant bear myself to press the play button because:

1. i dont wanna get even more angry at the fact that constacrap is using archies and sanjayas name to up his ‘fame’

2. i cant stand his vioce. how he made it to AI is beyond my imagination – he probably gave them that disgusting ‘eye’ and possessed them. ugh, hes even dirtier than the bronx. ewww.

anywho. after reading all these comments, its not that fact that we’re mad at that they are gay(who knows), its the fact that constacrap used two very popular contestants and assumed && labeled them when he doesnt know for sure. he just used their names so he can get some publicity. and he def. is – which is going to not only get him fired but kill the last 2 seconds of fame he has.

whats worse is that this jerk though DA was going to win. and when the camera panned to his face when DA finished singing ‘in this moment’ he had that ugly lil smirk. ughhh

he said he found Jesus?? Jesus was never lost; Constatine is definitely the one nowhere to be found. he needs to just crawl back into his nobody hole and be the neverwas he is.

Indo, that is my plan. Get everyone I know to email fox. I posted the email link on every forum I can find this morning. Including other contestant boards, etc. We need to get as many people to email FOX as we can. Maybe that will help them see the light. I don’t want an apology, I want him fired. A lot of Cook fan’s are stepping up and emailing too. I’ve also gotten a ton of feeback from Jason and Michael’s fans as well offering to help by emailing Fox.

Everyone, please take a minute to email them. It really might help. David deserves better.

WC, i thought he was offensive when he said david would take a beating from his dad if he lost… and that he “needs to win to ensure himself some decent success”.. those parts.

butterqflyfly on May 24, 2008 at 1:22 pm
51

Isn’t it typical of people who “found” Jesus to then start gay-bashing. And he says his best friends are gay. That’s highly doubtful. Another example of someone trying to hang on to their 15 minutes of fame by grasping at the coattails of someone like David Archuleta. Pathetic.

alixsfo on May 24, 2008 at 1:23 pm
52

WC,
I realize that often this sort of discussion does come across as an indication that being gay is a negative, and I’m sorry for that.

To me, the offensive part is any discussion of his orientation. He is a minor and he has stated on numerous occasions that he is waiting for romance because it is a distraction. I have a smart teen at home with the exact same viewpoint, so I’m not surprised by it.

This gaydar thing bugs me. Some of the gay people in my life look and act gay; others don’t. It’s such a personal issue.

KH on May 24, 2008 at 1:23 pm
53

Remember that David A is from Utah. I grew up in a little town in Utah, and the way he acts is very much in character with his culture. He is such a sweet boy, and seems quite sheltered. He probably has not had much freedom to have any kind of “sexuality”, and if he is following the traditions that he comes from, that won’t come out until later anyway. Constantine actually has no idea what he is talking about. Just because he has been in the “theatre” does not mean he knows much about human nature.

And, yes, Sanjaya is way more sexy than Constantine, and many girls were in love with him during the tour (including me).

ok after idol, having to do soap operas and quite patheticly presenting the idol extra must really piss him off. imagine wanting to sing for aliving and nobody wants to pay you to. and you kinda need to stay famous and you settle for the inferior things to being an idol and a singer. So I’m not that mad at this guy. He’s classless and sad but it’s clear why. Wouldn’t he like to have archuleta’s talent that would last a star decades. I think he would.
archie is going to be just fine. being a super star is tough. not every one will like you. Being big means being liked and disliked in a grand scale.
But this bitter guy is nothing more than a loser and does not deserve your hate. he’s nothing. a bug…

The only reason so-called “straight” guys go out of their way to bash guys they think are gay is because they feel the need to establish their own superiority over something that “threatens” them.

First of all, I’ll put it out there for the record that if I support a singer, I could care less if he/she is gay or straight. People who make it an issue have unresolved issues of their own that need tending to. In the first place, David A and Sanjaya are kids (ok, even if Sanjaya has turned 18, that’s still a young’un in my book). Their sexuality, whatever it may be, has no bearing on me as a woman of 40. As hesterprunne said, why would you care unless you were going to marry or go to bed with them? That might be an issue for a certain segment of the fanbase, I suppose-if you’re a 16 or 17-year-old girl, perhaps-but not for many.

And if Sanjaya was indeed “slaying” girls during the tour, well, as long as it was after his 18th birthday, good for him (lol!). Sounds like Constacrap is just much jealous to me that someone he thinks ought to be gay just might be getting more action than he is. But unless this greaseball was on the tour (and he wasn’t) he doesn’t know squat about ANYTHING he’s saying.

blackraven on May 24, 2008 at 3:06 pm

I agree with post 41.

As a gay man, I don’t find this nearly a offensive as the majority of posters here. I don’t find anything wrong with being gay, though.

The feeling I get in reading these posts is that people find the “gay” label an insult to David A. I really hope not. In the year 2008, people need to not have a knee jerk reaction to the gay label.

Straight people do seem to think being gay is only a negative. And it’s not. David A. could very well be gay. And who really cares?

The headline on this thread made me think I was going to be hearing the most vile expletives in the english language. If ‘gay’ was that expletive, then I suggest some of you might want to get out into the world a bit more. ‘Being gay’ is not that offensive.

Actually I find the reactions here a bit offensive. As if ‘gay’ were the worst name you could be called…… (”He called our David gay???? Oh my god!! That’s the worst thing anyone could ever say!”).

I’m not as articulate as WC, but I agree with that post completely.

randyslovacek on May 24, 2008 at 4:13 pm

Geez. I don’t even know where to start. That was horrible and it just kept going. It went on and on.

Note to Nigel: Please fire this guy. You could not find a sweeter kid in all of America than Archie and he does not need or deserve this kind of crap coming from someone who is supposed to be part of the Idol family.

Note to Constantine: You could learn a thing or two from David Archuleta and the way he’s conducted himself. He’s been a class act all season from start to finish. Unlike you, he’s a winner.

41–WC and 59–Randy

I get what you’re saying. I’m not gay but I have two gay siblings. At least part of what offended me is that Constantine gave his impression of David’s orientation for his own benefit–to say something juicy and get attention for himself. Coming out/being outed is personal. If David’s gay, that’s up to David, not Constantine.

There’s nothing wrong with being gay. (There’s nothing wrong with being gay–I can’t say it enough b/c it’s so true.)

I really don’t like what Constantine said because he doesn’t actually know anything and it’s gossipy.

Suzanne on May 24, 2008 at 4:50 pm

#41: “What is offensive is the way everyone cracks down into defensive mode when he suggests someone is gay. By crying “NO HE IS NOT!” it really comes across as sending the message that being gay is a bad thing.” I agree with you in principle, but look at these particular comments again. That’s not what “everyone” is saying – just a few.

Most of us get that being gay is neither bad nor good – but just IS. He uses “gay” disparagingly and he “outs” a minor (people did the same to Sanjaya when he was only 17), and, while doing so, claims to have found Jesus. All of that is offensive to me.

hesterprune on May 24, 2008 at 5:01 pm

Randy – I see your point but I don’t think anyone feels calling someone gay is an insult. I think what people are upset about is that he addressed it at all, and in such a joking way when the target of his lame shtick is a very innocent kid who would be mortified by any discussion of the matter at all.

Natalia,

I see your point about David A perhaps being mortified by the discussion. I can understand that. There is certainly such an innocence about David that this thread would probably leave him speechless.

I don’t know why people got so mad…
He didn’t say that being gay was bad… He just think that Archuleta is gay. And most of people non archuleta fanatics fans think the same…
I don’t care if D. archuleta is gay or not…
Constantine was very unhappy in his comments, I agree, but people are getting very crazy about this…
Whatever…

Of course there is nothing wrong with being gay. That’s why you don’t go around pointing at people and snickering “oh, look, he is gay, hee-hee’. Which is exactly what Constantine did in that interview. Maybe to him being gay is something to be ridiculed. And the notion of gaydar seems beyond ridiculous to me. You can’t always tell who is gay and who is not. And why would you even care ? Unless you are looking to hook up of course…. So, Constantine, what exactly do you need gaydar for (wink, wink) ?

It’s insecurity (on Constantine’s part), period. Secure people rise above gossip, while insecure people trail behind picking up their own mess.

Much love to Sanjaya and David A. Two true class acts.

Well……that was wrong. I think some folks have felt Archuleta might be in the closet and I remember last year, people felt that way about Sanjaya. Thats life. Honestly, it might be that they are still finding themselves, since they are in their teens. You know?! I wouldn’t just say they are gay outloud like that. its none of Constantine’s business. He’s a has-been anyway. But really, there was no point in calling Archuleta gay or Sanjaya. They might be just feminine, I’ve said it last year about Sanjaya. They have feminine traits, doesn’t make them gay. In the future if they end up gay, then I hope they live a happy life.

shadow25 on May 24, 2008 at 6:34 pm

I also agree with the folks that said he might have been drinking. He wouldn’t have talked that nonsense outright had he been completely sober. I think at times, it may seem like Archy or even Sanjaya might be gay, but why insinuate it. They might just have feminine traits, but really are straight. I hear Sanjaya is quite the ladies’ man. SO…..I would not go on record to say they are gay and I have good gay-dar.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I’m curious as to what feminine traits DA has? Is it because he is moral? Or of good character? Because he doesn’t use foul language? Somebody tell me please? Just because young people(boys) choose to be moral doesn’t make them gay or even naive. I have three sons in their 20’s. All of them are attractive, intelligent young men. The two oldest are married with babies and the youngest is a very popular musician who dates very frequently and is looking for someone who to be serious with. They were all moral, soft-spoken and yes even well-dressed. They are NOT GAY and neither is David. I agree that David would be mortified at this conversation. I don’t believe it is polite to talk about anyone’s sexuality. IT is supposed to be private.

Maroulis is a vile excuse for a human being. He uses “gay” as a pejorative, questions a minor’s sexuallity, and perpetuates the myth that a boy that is musically sensitive must somehow also be weak and effiminate. Thanks, man. I went to school with some guys like you. He expects that David will be beaten by his father, and sees this as funny.

He assumes that David will be a failure as a recording artist, and the sorry bastard is too stupid and arrogant to see the irony in his statement.

The final, and most offensive irony is that he claims to have found Jesus.

Keep looking, Maroulis, this time with your eyes open.

Thank you for taking the time to reveal your true character to us all. You are dead to me. I will not buy, watch, or be associated with him in any way again, ever.

Why we discussed if DA is gay or no?
He’s not gay! He’s only 17 from Utah. I came from a small island 2 south east asia, where people can’t have sex before they marry or even a girl friend/boyfriend until we finish college (we don’t / can’t work while we@ school, you have to have a degree to find a job).

DA maybe just wants to wait, until the best time. He will find a nice girl who love him and he will have enough time for he by then. He will be busy with his music career, he will have no time for romance at this moment, give him a break.

who is this Constantine guy BTW? Is he famous or just a DB?
how dare he talk about DA like that. DA is such a nice guy, very young who enjoy his life. This CM need to get a life.

Okay, there is nothing wrong with someone being gay. It really doesn’t matter. But what I find offensive is Constantine trying to tell us that he knows David and Sanjaya’s sexual orientation as he would have no idea!

While I know nothing about Sanjaya, I can tell you for sure that David Archuleta is not gay. Aside from the fact that he was known to have dated several girls before his AI experience, he said the following only 2 days ago:

http://community.comcast.net/comcastportal/blog/article?blog.id=ameridol&message.id=27033#M27033

On whether he has time for a girlfriend now that the show is over…

I think now it’s time to really focus on making an album and writing songs and all that. I just feel like, being 17, I’m not really mature enough to understand those feelings yet, and I just don’t want to — and I’ve watched so many of my friends saying, “Oh, we broke up. How sad. I can’t live without them.” And I’m, like, “You’re 17. What are you talking about?” I just want to make sure I don’t get confused with my feelings for someone so quickly, and then, I don’t know, it just bugs me when kids are like — all the drama. I so don’t want to deal with the drama right now. I just want to be able to focus on the music and when I meet a girl who has a great personality and I connect with and has really good standards for themselves and has respect for themselves, but not in, like, an arrogant way, and is someone who cares about others, as well, it’s not all about them. It’s something I definitely want to focus on later in life, when I’m ready.

WC#45, it’s possible that David A. might be gay, but I do believe he’s genuinely innocent with little to no sexual experience, and with his religious background, I doubt he is aware of what his sexuality is or might be. He seems like a late bloomer, which means he probably won’t really know until he’s well into his 20s.

I honestly don’t care because I fall hard for the gay boys too! You know, whatever floats your boat, it’s all good.

I would like to enjoy Archie and his innocence at 17 a little while longer before people start trashing him. And, yes, I did interpret Constantine’s “gaydar” comments as trash-talking. Not because there is anything wrong with being gay but because he was very publicly forcing a sexual identity onto a kid who probably doesn’t yet know who or what he is sexually. And based on his religious background, that could be very traumatic.

I appreciate Archie’s “soft masculinity,” for want of a better word (somehow, effeminate doesn’t work for me). Let’s give the kid a break!

I actually prefer men who are more soft-spoken and sensitive. I believe that David is a fine young man who will make a wonderful husband and father. Can I also say that just because his father has been viewed as “intense” (per Simon)does not make him abusive in any way. My husband and I are both mild mannered until someone is unkind to one of our younger children, especially if it is towards my 10 year old autistic son. We become very protective and our claws definitely come out. I believe that this is more who Jeff Archuleta is and should be applauded for caring so much about his son. I also believe that he will know when it is time to take a backseat in David’s career. That’s what good parents do even when it is difficult.

Regarding Constantine’s inflammatory remarks, I have typed out this letter.

Please sign your name and send it to FOX REALITY @

———————-

Dear FOX:

We are very angry at Constantine Maroulis’ LIVE and Extremely derogatory and potentially harmful Comments regarding David Archuleta and other past idols. This interview took place at the 2008 Idol Finale.

This interview and Maroulis’ comments can be heard at: http://www.rickey.org/?p=7993#comments

In this interview, Constantine can be clearly heard making accusations regarding David Archuleta’s sexuality (comes right out and refurs to him as being ‘gay’), calling David A. a “17-year old Punk”.

Constantine can also be heard making a rather inflammatory statement regarding the possibility of ‘fixed’ American Idol voting. He says: “maybe they’ll just ‘Oh, we lost a million votes Somehow’”.

In this interview, Constantine also makes reference to Taylor Hicks and Kat McPhee as “pissing off people you don’t want to piss off”.

This Really makes a statement against the integrity of American Idol.

He also accuses Sanjaya Malakar of being gay.

This is a Very mean-spirited interview which defames the credibility of both FOX and AMERICAN IDOL.

We are very much opposed to the position that FOX has awarded Constantine Maroulis and ask that you Strongly reconsider his position.

Sincerely, (type your name)

ITTO #85, How are you so sure that David isn’t gay by that article? I’m not saying that he is but try to put yourself in his shoes. He’s living under a microscope right now where everything he says and does is reported to the world. He’s also an active member of a religion where they only publicly accept the traditional Ozzie and Harriet lifestyle, and anyone who does not live that way is not accepted in their way of life. What do you think he’s going to say? “Yeah, I’m gay?” Or, “Right now I’m deciding which way I’m going to go?” I hate it when people ask him questions like that just to try and get him to drop a bombshell for ratings. Leave the poor kid alone about his sexual preference and let him tell us when he’s ready. There’s no way he’s going to say anything but what he said in that interview for now if there is any question in his mind about his sexuality.

I also agree with #64. The label of “gay” I think is the real issue here. Who cares what Constipated or whatever his name says?? The real issue here is the shock when someone dares to say that David might be gay. It’s all speculation either way. Only David knows how he really feels sexually, if he even has those feelings yet anyways. I am gay, and when I was his age, I went to prom as a group date with my friends, and I guess they all thought I was straight because I never thought of myself as otherwise. I was attracted to guys but never thought of myself as “gay” because the only gay people I knew at the time acted more like Danny Noriega and I am much more “straight acting”. I remember finally understanding that I was gay right around my 21st birthday and up until then I was still a virgin. I was very shy around both guys and girls, I would flinch when anyone would touch me, and I absorbed myself with hobbies the whole time. Sex never was really an issue until I finally understood who I was. Maybe David is in the same situation, who knows?

Again, if David is gay then good for him. If he’s not, then good for him. All I know is that it irritates me when people back him into a corner with these very direct questions and then run back saying, “See, there’s no way he can be gay because he said this…” It’s like people can’t bare the thought of their little David not being the perfect person in their minds, almost like they have some sort of ownership over him.

Also, if Constantine makes a comment like he did…who cares?? Yeah, the whole same sex thing on the cruise ship was a homophobic comment by an idiot, but isn’t he entitled to free speech as well? If you don’t like what he says then let him know. Write to him, or call into his show. Don’t demand that that loses his job. It’s silly. I’m a democrat who watches alot of CNN, and if I wanted the job of every conservative who got on there spewing their family values/gays are inferior rhetoric then there would be no one on tv with any other views than my own.

I say let him say stupid things and make an ass out of himself. Eventually his show will lose viewers, it will get cancelled, and Constipated will be on that cruise ship he was talking about as the second rate lounge act that he is.

I left this thread after sending my email to Fox, but this has been bugging me all night. There were some people above who thought our reactions were suggesting being gay is a negative. It has been bothering me and I could see their point of view so I wanted to clarify why I am so offended by Constantine’s interview.

1) This guy and the two radio djs openly speculate about a minor’s sexual orientation. This is a very personal matter for anyone, especially a sensitive 17 year old. Although they did not specifically make an out and out disparaging comment, the whole conversation just smacks of the “good old boys” joking, laughing, and winking at each other to assure us all of their “manlihood” while suggesting it is acceptable to question sexuality and reduce a gay person to his/her sexual preference only, not what should define a person: genuineness, empathy, kindness, strength of character.

2) Constantine’s statement that “all my friends are gay” is a big, loud, warning siren. Anytime someone says, “I have a lot of black friends” I know they feel they have to prove they are ok with black people. It has just the opposite effect. If they were not uncomfortable in some way they would see them as friends, not their “black friends”.

3) I think he was suggesting that Sanjaya was hooking up with a lot of women on the tour and says he is the “gaaaayyyyest” (in the most offensive tone he could use) person. He then goes on to say about the women “If you were a woman, would you be proud of that?” I think the women facing regrets are the ones who hooked up with Constantine.

4) He found Jesus. Ya. I don’t want to offend others so I won’t comment on this one.

Regardless of whether Constantine thinks or allegedly knows someone is gay is not the point. The fact that he felt the need to even discuss it during an interview is completely offensive.

1. who cares if either sanjaya or david are gay?
2. it is not funny, to even suggest that david will have “difficulty” with his father for losing AI
3. it was wrong of him to even speculate about david’s chances of success post AI. one would think that each contestant in their mind thinks that some level of success or opportunity is headed their way now…why did he feel the need to diminish that.
4. AI will “somehow lose a million votes” hmm
5. Katherine and Taylor “pissed” off the wrong people and look at their careers? hmm

So, basically, in one interview, he offends 1. members of the gay community 2. level headed and open minded members of the straight community 3. david fans 4. sanjaya fans 5. kat fans 6. taylor fans 7. implies that AI tosses votes 8. AI and record labels conspire to damage careers of those who do not conform.

He is lucky he doesn’t face multiple lawsuits. Sadly, I believe nothing will come of this. At least it wont help the jerk sell any more albums or land him any more spots.

As much as I do not like Ryan, the thought of him hosting AI made me do a spit take in laughter.

treb on May 25, 2008 at 12:04 pm
105

First of all, this whole thing was started by Vote For The Worst. You can go on their site and see that somebody started this to stir things up. If you want to read what THEY say about David Archuleta, be prepared because it is 1000x worse than anything Constantine said. So, by going on and on and on about this, you are playing right into their hands because they WANT the rumor about David A out there and as an added bonus, they like to trash Constantine. This stuff about David A has also been on the Idol forums and it is pretty trashy and raunchy and lots of posts have been deleted because of it. So, my question to all of you is, have you complained to Idol about what’s on their boards and have you complained to Vote For The Worst for what they started? If not, then why not? Or do you just reserve that for Constantine and his big mouth?

I went and listened to the clip and it’s the DJ who says that stuff about the cruiseline. So get your facts straight.

I think what Constantine said was beyond stupid and awful. I personally believe David A is just a naiive kid. Just because he doesn’t walk around in leather with a nose ring and tattoos doesn’t mean he’s gay. But whether he is gay or he isn’t gay is nobody’s business but his and I feel VERY sorry for him that he’s going to have to read all this about himself, right after having the most wonderful night of his life on Idol.

Also, I wish the Pinks would get over their little hotel room encounter with Constantine and would stop spending their lives trashing him. It ends up hurting a lot of other people besides him. You don’t need to do anything to him, because he’s doing it to himself! I could care less what the guy is doing.

The Carly thing is another prime example of the damage done on the internet. The terrible things written about her were uncalled for and some of those things were written on these boards. She seems like a really nice girl. So she had a contract. So what? Were you there? Do you know what her deal was? I believe that’s why she went home early and that pissed me off, because I’d have liked to enjoy what she could have brought to the competition. But no, people were jealous and had to trash her, so she was voted off and then we had to suffer through some of the other contestants who didn’t need to be on there.

Grow up. Internet can be a wonderful thing or a really terrible thing. I can’t believe how mean and vicious people are. You are ranting and raving about a few comments Con said, but you are saying far worse right here.

If there is anybody left from his fanbase of season 4 they could all tell you how much of a douchebag and asshole he has been in general.The guy only spurts out nasty crap when it’s not all about him being in the spotlight.He’ll never be in the spotlight because he’s talentess,ugly and just plain full of himself.He does not appreciate anything his fans have done for him in the past and his 15 minutes have WAAAYYYY been over.I can say I used to be a fan of his but lost interest quite soon after he showed how much of a failure he actually was.For him to go after Sanjaya and Archuleta like that makes me ill to no end but not suprised by his envy and ignorance.
I wrote to Fox Reality and made sure they knew how I felt.Archuleta is going to be rich beyond means and Sanjaya will have his success internationally as well and will do many great things.Of course they will people like to work with people who have great talent and personalities and can work well with others,something Maroulis lacks in all ways.
Maroulis you’ve done it again showing your horns,I’m sure finding Jesus is just what you need to work on dude,yeah right I don’t believe that for one sec.

It was indeed Constantine who said that David will work on “same-sex cruises” if he does not win.

I had to stop reading some of the Archie posts cuz’ they were creeping me out…so much about how yummy and hot he was. Even speculating on the hairs on his chin.

It seems that Constantine has not learned the basic laws of show business: comments of the type that he expressed will only attract merciless scrutiny.

The counterattack will always follow, and someone as monumentally unsuccessful as Constantine Maroulis is an easy target. He would be better off not attracting any attention of this type.

Blake Lewis has alienated several fanbases with his comments about his fellow contestants. His album has sold some 270,000 copies and is regarded as a failure after all the exposure from American Idol.

Constantine’s album has sold 25,000 copies.

111, I agree with you…

And I also believe that most of people here is actually mad, cuz They don’t want to see the truth, and they keep making excuses. Get over… D. archuleta is probably Gay, but I don’t think this is a problem… Why people are so concerned? Maybe because him being gay would apoil some fantasies.lol
And why you all got so crazy? Constantine thinks david archuleta is gay, maybe if you even ask for archuleta’s fellow contestants of this season, they think the same… They are not as dumb as constantine, to say this on media, but they probable think this.
Anyway, constantine is a jerk. I totally agree…
But this crazyness,”oh lets get him fired”. omg…Get a life you all…

And comments like this “he is just naive” Makes me laugh. Open your eyes, he is seventeen, this is not so young.

the most important is that Archuleta is talented

fernanda on May 25, 2008 at 5:49 pm

that constantine dude is the gay one. how can archie be gay?? just because he is sweet and adorable and kind and caring does not make him gay. i hate it when people call him gay because he isnt gay. when they say all those crap, they are basically saying that in order for a guy to be straight, they have to be mean and tough.

and archie is going to have a successful career ahead of him and he does not need to win american idol to be successful. just because his dad made some headlines did not mean that archie made some scandalous news. tmz and all those crappy paparatzi are just starting rumors and stuff to make archie seem bad since they cant find any juicy gossip on him, no racy photos no addictions, nothing so they start these random rumors that are NOT TRUE. i dont think archie’s dad should have anything to do with archie. they are two different people and his dad does not effect his career so stupid people on youtube and guys like con con need to shut up since they will get a lot of hate even if you hate david archuleta, which i can never understand why, you will defend him when retards like this start crap.

oh and what season was this dude from, season 2 or 1. why is he still on the show?? he probably is just dissing archie because he knows he isnt successful while archie will become very successful and a legend since he already is a pridegy like neil diamond and so many people have said. i didnt even know who this loser was until he posed with kady and someone wrote constantine and than i knew who it was. in my opinion, con con is trying to get some attention because people dont know who he is anymore. it’s just like when blake slamed on sanjaya and archie. i personally am not a fan of sanjaya but blake was rude when he said those things. some of these 20, or 50 year old looking, guys really need to grow up. archie is 17 and he is more mature than this loser will ever be.

I am embarrassed I even acknowledged this story as it has now turned into one long speculation of a person’s sexuality. How ironic.

Archuleta is a Mormon. Don’t you know anything about that faith? They are very sheltered. So yes, he is naiive. People in his culture aren’t having sex at 12 and having babies at 14. But, the fact is, it doesn’t matter if he’s gay or he isn’t. It’s nobody’s right to get on this site or any other site and proclaim him to be. Danny was flaming, but he knew it, and nobody gave a sh/t.

Chad – Who said Constantine doesn’t have the right to say what he did? He said it didn’t he? Yeah, he has the right. Just like the people who feel his remarks were inappropriate also have the right to say so. That’s how it works.

No matter what the remarks were the main issue to me is their effect on David and who made them. Constantine is on Idol’s payroll and a supposed member of the “Idol family”. He made comments that he had to know would be embarrassing to David and his family. Frankly, his attempt to make a joke about David’s father beating him shocked me. I thought that was a problem before Constantine ever got around to speculating about David’s sexual orientation. First, it’s hurtful to the entire Archuleta family who have said that this isn’t true and second, who makes a joke about child abuse? I thought it was tasteless and the fact that it would come from someone associated with Idol is sad.

As for the gay issue I feel pretty confident that most people don’t care. What I care about is that the comments both about abuse and sexual orientation came from someone employed by Idol and would be embarrassing and hurtful to David. These are personal issues that are private and not a punchline. That these remarks were made at the expense of a very innocent kid who has been a class act and represented Idol well for the entire season really bothers me. And for the record, I’m a Cook fan. The entire incident was unnecessary and a big disappointment to me as an Idol fan.

Well, Constantine said he had “gaydar” and he thought that was the direction David A was heading towards. YOU guys on THIS board called him an ASSWIPE, FUGLY, JERK, too many names to even count. Many, many times worse than what Constantine said. Call the kettle black. It’s this board. You get all up in arms and stand on your band wagon til something happens you don’t like and then you jump onto something new. Bunch of hypocrites.

I have emailed Fox Reality already and expressed my complete disgust with the content of this interview. There are always people like this pathetic douche bag named Constantine Maroulis in this world who hold opinions that are troublesome but the point is not that it’s bad that he exists or that his opinions are nothing new because they have already been expressed elsewhere as some posters have said on other sites. The point is he is not some casual observer who posts some offensive comments, yes, it’s a free country, but that he represents American Idol Extra and his utter lack of decorum, common sense, taste makes him a totally inappropriate host. He needs to go! Too bad for him he is also lacking in intelligence, or he would know better than to open his mouth to utter such crap. What a sh-t head. I now know why his face/looks always creeped me out. The slimey-ness inside is just seeping through his skin to the outside for everyone to see, oozing out to his creepy sleezy cheesy face. I am so disturbed by this that I can’t help being mean. But if I have to be nice, I’ll say that since he thinks he found Jesus, I should hope that Jesus will heal his ugly heart.
His co-hort on AI Extra, former contestant, Gina Glockson, struck me as tacky also (though not to the degree as Con WipeAss), when she said outright in an interview I heard that had instruments been allowed on the show during the season she competed, Jordin Sparks would not have won. She gave an emphatic no, which showed such a sourgrapes attitude and tackiness considering she is not (again) some casual observer of AI but an Idol alumni to be openly and publicly denouncing the season 6 winner. She too is someone I disliked quite a bit when she was a contestant. She was full of herself just like Constantine Maroulis, the slime ball. Ugh, two cheese balls on one show. Fox Reality, what were you thinking?! ZERO TASTE.

Natalia – I never said people don’t have the right to make a fuss over his comments. My point was that people on here are calling for his job because of the comments. I think it’s ridiculous. Yeah, he is employed by American Idol. So what? Should we start censoring what people say now so they don’t offend anyone? If we did then no one could say anything and free speech would be out the window.

I’m not defending him, I actually think he’s an idiot. But I’m gay and I didn’t take offense to what he said, I just chalk it up to stupidity and a feeble attempt to be controversial. It certainly worked because there’s a lot of stirred up people in here about this.

Read my post again #97 and you’ll see that I think that the best way to handle this would be to just stop watching or write to the show about it. Don’t demand his job though. It’s like a witch hunt and I think it’s against free speech. That’s just my opinion.

To be sure, who cares if someone is gay or not. But obviously Con Asswipe thought people cared to hear his pathetic opinions. He has no clue he displayed to everyone his bigoted attitude and his amazing lack of jugement by talking about the sexuality of a minor. What a sorry ass loser.

How dare anyone label someone with defining what they think they are.

Boys and Men should not be defined by what they wear, how they speak, what they like and then label them as Gay.

We are all different! Defining people into sexual categories is offensive. Defining everyones traits and mannerisms with labels is hurtful and demeaning to anyone.
Constantine really messed up!! Anyone who does this is totally off!!

Chad, free speech means that you can not be arrested solely for saying something. That’s all it means. It does not mean that you can not be fired for being an idiot. People have been fired for less than that and it was by no means violation of their right to free speech.
And most people think that making fun of someone’s sexuality (because that’s exactly what Constantine did) is offensive. Especially when that someone is a minor.

“The entire incident was unnecessary and a big disappointment to me as an Idol fan.”

Actually THIS entire incident was unnecessary and a big disappointment!

In the name of “protecting” poor little Archie, you have all certainly insured that he will now know about all of YOU speculating about his private business!

If you had just left the interview where it was nobody but a few die-hard Con fans would have ever known about it.

There are literally hundreds of interviews out in cyberspace that C has done that were nothing but PC and nice. But nobody goes looking for those or makes anything of that. I get it. The internet is used for evil more often than good, right?

Yeah, sure. Bunch of do-gooders. Right. Shame on all of you.

sweetthing–yes freedom of speech is a cherished right in this country. but saying offensive comments like this (especially towards a minor) can get your ass handed to you.

case in point- Isaiah Washington calling T.R. Knight from Gray’s Anatomy a “f–” automatically got him fired. Yes, everyone has the right to say what they want, but there will be repercussions, which is what is now going to happen to Constantine.

And I don’t believe this is hypocrisy to express our distaste about Constantine. Hate groups have the right to march in public, but we as citizens have a right to protest their right to march. It’s simple amendment rights.

I personally think Constancrap went too far with this so I am expressing MY freedom of speech by calling him a WASHED UP TURD.

Indomass on May 25, 2008 at 8:40 pm
127

o0o, then fire him – off with his head! Will that make what he said better? So if people saying less got fired was that right? To me it’s just as wrong to demand someones job like a bunch of bloodthirsty hounds, it’s just as wrong.

In my opinion the appropriate and mature way to approach this would be to let him know how you feel about his comments and/or stop watching his show. That would send a better message than storming up to the front gates of American Idol studio’s demanding Constantine’s job. Also, I don’t know of a law that prohibits someone from giving an opinion about a minor. If there is then it would be up to Archie’s parents to do something about it. There are too many people on here that seem to get personally offended over words said to David like they have some sort of ownership over him.

I would hope David has a thicker skin than that and doesn’t need all the people freaking out over this Constantine idiot on his behalf. David seemed to handle the judges critisism maturely and I think he will be just fine.

chad_tn on May 25, 2008 at 8:45 pm

Chad – Sorry but I could have done without these types of remarks coming from an Idol employee. It’s unnecessary. But if you do choose to make comments like this you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences. That’s not censorship it’s just life.

I did e-mail FRC. I told them I thought the remarks were inappropriate and expressed my disappointment as a fan and viewer of the show. What they do about it is up to them.

Natalia on May 25, 2008 at 8:50 pm
129

Chad – you do what you think is right and everyone else will do what they think is right. How about that ?

And just think, if any of us are nasty to customers on our job, how long before we are fired ? And I doubt the boss will be much impressed if we try to argue that he is violating our right to free speech.

oOo on May 25, 2008 at 9:00 pm

I liked Constantine for a while just because he brought a rocker image to what had generally been pop for American Idol but he got WAY creepy after just a few weeks and when they started showing the videos before the performances I knew right then he was cocky and has unfortunately gotten worse. He can NOT pull off the camera glare as well as everyone seems to think he can. Does he have nothing better to do than hang out with and then trash the Idols and go to the tapings? Save the seat for someone who actually cares about Idol, not about making yet another appearance.

OOO is right. In any other job, if he had trashed another employee, he would have been at least reprimanded. I’m not saying he needs to be fired but he should at least be told to chill to a degree. Opinions are fine but there is a difference between an opinion, even a heated one, and a personal, malicious attack on someone.

im sorry but really , i listened to it a few times but i don’t really see whats so offensive about it. that he said it about david arch? or sanjaya im not the biggest sanjaya fan but it seems like every time he gets made fun of he accually laughs at jokes about him self i think he can handle it. as for david arch i think people r way too sensitive about him , its like some one says somthing bad then there a jerk or ect ect. should he be fired? no. why should be be fired over somthing like this? it would be like some ones boss coming on here and reading one of his 40 year old women sexual remarks about david arch and fires them for being a pedaphile.

abercrombieco2 on May 25, 2008 at 11:41 pm
132

abercrombieco2–I don’t think fired. But I think he should make some apologizing remarks. Blake publicly lambasted both Sanjaya and David A. earlier in the season and got in alot of trouble for it and he was the bigger person and apologized.

I don’t see Constancrap apologizing unless they force him to because he is so full of himself.

Indomass on May 26, 2008 at 12:18 am
133

Bringing up Blake is interesting because he made some remarks about Arch and Cook that I didn’t agree with but they certainly weren’t offensive. He just made some unfavorable comments about them as performers.

Constantine made personal remarks and that’s a completely different story. I’d feel uncomfortable with them no matter who they were directed at but I think they’re particularly inappropriate when directed at Arch. He’s just a very sweet kid and Constantine can take his lame shtick and shove it sideways.

All this spouting about civil rights and freedom of speech. You know your law, don’t you? Because you work in a lawyer’s office, babyfishmouth. You gave yourself away. This is just another attempt to slam Constantine. Go ahead and write to Fox. They LOVE the publicity. If they didn’t, Paula would have been gone a long time ago. That’s how they get their ratings. People will now tune into AI Extra to see if Constantine says anything else he shouldn’t. Chad, you are wasting your breath. These women spend 24/7 tracking Constantine down. They spend time at work searching the internet for anything new out there about Constantine. They have their own hate site which they spend money to keep going and they spend time on there discussing ways to get back at him. They are consumed with him and he is their whole life. They go to his concerts and take pictures of his fans, find out who they are and then post crap about THEM on the internet. It’s pretty sick. This doesn’t have anything to do with David Archuleta. Well, I have better things to do with my time than to stalk Constantine and then protest that I don’t like him. PUH-lease.

I was never liked him in season 4. didnt know what some people saw in him. no talent. no voice.
the best performance he did was Bohemian Rhapsody. and it wasnt even as good as mj or the real version.
vocal.. none.

He talks like he’s above everyone. He’s not even good looking.

*sigh*

He sold less than what? 20 000 records for his first album?

pls. constantine.
David A’s voice will get him anywhere.

sweething, or should i say constantine…. i guarantee you, NO ONE is watching AI Extra to see Constantine. IF he were ANY sort of ratings draw what so ever, he’d be featured on the big show way more often.

The only people talking about his ignorant, uninformed, and slanderous comments are pretty much on message boards, it is getting no press. Why? Because no one cares what Constantine has to say, because he is a has been who quite frankly never was.

But, just to make sure he never IS, I agree with all of those writing letters to FOX. Maybe then, they will stop putting him on Good Day New York discussing his “thoughts” on AI. I literally change the channel when he appears.

I don’t know which ConTard you are, sweetthing, and the fact that you’re just dead wrong and ranting about things you know nothing about sure doesn’t help me narrow down the field. But your reference to babyfishmouth and the Heathers is laughable in light of the fact that you’ve already attributed this (and rightly so, I believe) to VFTW. In case you’ve been under a rock, the Heathers and Bollox (who is the VFTW mod and used to be NYCCorporateShill – a Betty intern and mod) hate each other. So you can’t point at the pinks for this at all this time. Maybe you should get a life and stop worrying about what people are saying on a message board that you’re not even allowed to read.

NIGEL AND SIMON FULLER….PAULA, SIMON, RANDY & RYAN…I KNOW ONE OF YOU, IF NOT ALL OF YOU, READ THIS BLOG.

YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT CON-MAN IS NO LONGER IN THE IDOL SPOTLIGHT. HE WAS A MEDIOCRE TALENT AT BEST DURING A YEAR THAT HAD A FEW TALENTED FOLKS (UNLIKE THIS YEAR WHERE SO VERY MANY WHERE GREAT). I’M NOT TAKING AWAY FROM THOSE REAL TALENTS WHO PERFORMED DURING HIS YEAR. HE ACTUALLY TOOK ATTENTION AWAY FROM THEM WITH HIS NO-TALENT. THAT SMILE OF HIS TO THE CAMERA GOT OLD QUICKLY WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO THE REAL TALENTED FOLKS WHO TAKE IDOL SERIOUSLY.

I EMAILED FOX TO DISASSOCIATE FROM HIM. HE NEEDS A LESSON THAT HE NEEDS TO RESPECT OTHERS.

I DON’T LIKE TO WISH ANYONE ANY “UNLUCKY-NESS”…HE’S BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE LASTED SO LONG. I HOPE THAT WHEN HE DOES REALIZE HE’S OFFENDED SO MANY, HE LEARNS THE VALUABLE LESSON OF RESPECTING OTHERS AND MAYBE, MAYBE THEN HE CAN RECLAIM THE “WHATEVER IT IS” THAT GOT HIM INTO THE LIMELIGHT, AND USE IT IN A POSITIVE WAY.

HE CANNOT HOLD A CANDLE TO ANYONE WHO’S BEEN ON IDOL SINCE HE LEFT. ARCHULETA IS WORLD’S ABOVE CONSTANTINE WHEN IT COMES TO TALENT. ALTHOUGH SANJAYA WASN’T MY FAVORITE TALENT LAST YEAR, HE CERTAINLY IS A CHARMER AND HAS USED HIS “TALENT” IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY. HE WILL OUTLAST CONSTANTINE.

CON-MAN, BE HUMBLE AND GRATEFUL FOR THE SUCCESS YOU’VE HAD…I HAVE A FEELING YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK A LOT HARDER AFTER THIS BLUNDER. THAT MAY BE A GOOD THING FOR YOU IN THE END.

David A. pings for me, too, so I’d have to say that Constantine DOES have pretty good Gaydar. Regardless, it was inappropriate of him to make such remarks on broadcast radio. The remark about a same-sex cruise was pretty clueless, too. I would guess that David Cook has more gay fans than David Archuleta! However, what I find MOST offensive is people considering allegations that someone is gay as ‘trash’ talk, as if being gay were such an ugly thing. Yes, David A. is probably gay, but big deal! He has more talent in his little pinkie than Constantine will EVER have!

since first time I saw Con’s pic in Rickey’s blog I never be his fan.
not really know him, never heard him singing, neither even knew that he was an AI contestant hahaha…

I don’t understand why Rickey wrote so much bout him and his activities. what so special bout this Constantine Maroulis except for his name? anyway his name is like Dracula’s name in horror movies.

so…does he sing well?
does he sell records?
did he play a role in a movie?

and I don’t understand why girls are crazy bout him. do you think he’s handsome?
I don’t think so. I don’t like his kind of face. Ace Young has the same face type as him but Ace is more handsome

actually I got no specific reason why I never like him. perhaps its just his face, look like a bad guy in movies.
I knew it’s unfair judging people just by his face, but it’s a matter of taste and choice. and I prefer not to like him. he’s not my type that’s all.

and now… after listening to his interview, I know why I never like Constantine. his face has given me signs for not liking him

OMG, what a tool. Once again, a total douche giving all Christians a bad name, it’s really unfortunate! And as a Christian, I find it offensive! I do NOT AT ALL, get that vibe from Archie and even if I did, what a jerk, what a shitty thing to Highlight, especially of a seventeen year-old boy who isn’t there to defend himself. Poor David, it really sucks when insensitive asshats like Constantine go around establishing your reputation for you. And as far as him taking over Ryan’s job, hahahahahahahaha….never gonna happen. Ryan is the best thing about idol, other than the contestants of course, he has done amazingly well on it and would never leave, or “drop the ball”

#51, the answer is no, it’s not typical for real Christians to bash ANYONE. The Bible says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. We need to leave the judging to God. BTW David A. has never said he was gay, and I think all this talk is not very nice about a 17 year old guy just because he entered a singing contest. Come on, folks! Lighten up!

Squirrelly on May 27, 2008 at 1:49 pm
151

Ok, some of you need to get off your gay pride bandwagon already and understand that these remarks ARE in fact offensive! Mainly because it’s quite creepy and predatory to be speculating the sexual orientation of a minor in the first place. Secondly, it’s absurd to assume that just ’cause a 17-year-old kid is not dating right now or because he’s a sweet and sensitive guy that he MUST be gay! Even for those of you saying “oh he probably is gay, but it doesn’t matter,” THAT is offensive as well. I am not homophobic by ANY means, but I sure as hell don’t want people thinking I’m gay when I’m not.

David has been asked questions about girls and dating and has simply said that a girlfriend will come later when he finds a girl he can really connect with. He has said he’s not ready for that yet and that now is the time to concnetrate on school and music. And I applaud him for this. He also realizes that he’s not ready to deal with the feelings of a romatic relationship yet as he sees his friends going through all that drama at such a young age. What’s so wrong with all of this? He said he likes to go out on group dates, so it’s not like he’s being completely anti-social with girls. Leave him alone. He’ll date when he’s ready. And I for one, see nothing wrong with a kid of 17 waiting a few years for this. He strikes me as the type of kid who’d want a committed relationship anyway….maybe he wouldn’t be into dating around. That’s how I’ve always been. It takes a smart and mature young man to realize this about himself.

I don’t have access to the Heathers? SURE I do. I’m one of your most trusted members. If you don’t believe me, here’s one of the posts on your last page.

“The fraus are convinced it’s about the fan mail, or lack thereof. But I am pretty sure the network execs and show producers are a little more interested in that newfangled popularity yardstick called RATINGS. The numbers don’t lie.”

Or, how about this one?

“This kind of disturbs me…it should, right?

BarbForCon…

I worry for Cook, ya know? But its like, he’s already successful, and success can shield a person away from the crazies if used properly.

(AxeFungus & Clay in the hospital room getting instructions from those La Leche chicks…that would be funny.)”

Wasn’t able to copy and paste the picture the pinks had of David Cook that was totally disgusting. They photoshop to make really disgusting pictures. So, here you are. I DO have access and so now you know. One of your own in a traitor.

Sometimes it is not what you say but how you say it which changes the meaning entirely. Constantine was not stating fact he was using his words to ridicule a sweet kid. I have to agree with 151, you don’t want people calling you something you are not. If a woman had a big stomach and you walked up to her and said congratulations on your pregnancy, but she wasn’t pregnant you would have offended her. There is nothing wrong or derogatory about being pregnant, it is just the fact you labeled her something she wasn’t. No one wants to be labeled especially if the label is incorrect. When I was 24 and single (though I had dated guys before), my mother thought I was gay because I was a virgin. But I grew up with my parents telling you shouldn’t have sex unless your married and I guess she figured once I became an adult I would stop adhering to her and my Dad’s teachings, but I didn’t. I was offended she called me gay because to me that meant if I wasn’t having sex like most girls my age my own mother thought I must be gay. Why couldn’t I just want to wait from the right guy following my own beliefs, which turned out to be husband who’s my hero?
