It seems that some American Idol fans were so upset when favorite Pia Toscano was voted off the show last week that a grassroots campaign has been launched on Pia’s behalf.Fans think there was a great injustice done by keeping Stefano Langone in the competition, and have been calling and sending emails to producers at Fox saying that Pia should be brought back to the show.
They have also been bombarding Stefano’s email and twitter accounts telling him he should bow out and quit.
But before everybody gets too excited they should know that Pia just signed a record deal with Interscope Records – ran by Jimmy Iovine, who has also been acting as mentor for American Idol this season.
Interscope released a statement saying,
"Pia is being signed to a deal with Interscope Records who are rushing her into the studio to record an album ASAP. We have started calling every top songwriter and producer in town to get an album together and rush release it. Papers are being finalized. It's basically a done deal. She's signing. They rushed everything but she's so excited."
In addition to the album, Pia will also be touring with the other top ten finalists on the American Idol summer tour – so everything has worked out nicely for her.
But what I don’t understand is why everybody turned on poor Stefano? He is actually a pretty good singer.
I would have thought that before going after him, people would have set their sights on Scotty McCreery or Paul McDonald.
I suspect this week we will see one of them eliminated.
