Alleged nude picture of American Idol Antonella Barba covered only in rose petals
"Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe says he has not seen any of the Internet pictures, and only learned of the sexually explicit shots from EW. ''We have really good background checks on everybody, and we deal with that every season,'' he says. ''It's sad, isn't it, that your best friends are the ones that come forward with information that will go to Smoking Gun or put your photographs on the web?''" [LINK]
When did God die and leave you in charge to be Antonell's judge? I admit she didn't do a great job with the last song she sang, but she can sing much better then that and we all know it. It's like the judges told her, she picked a song that just wasn't right for her. The first time she auditioned, she showed the whole world that she could be an American Idol. She's capable, I just hope she chooses her next song more carefully. As for the pictures, I haven't seen one that exposes her private parts. Why do ugly people have to trash and judge the beautiful people? It's sad! I might add: Nowhere do I see her engaged in any Lesbian activity. They were posing for the picture that says she is "in an apparent Lesbian dance embrace." Girls do that at clubs all the time these days and don't think anything about it. Besides, they are not touching each others private parts so why do you have to prejudge them by a photo? You need to get more and learn a few things about life.
People get betrayed by former lovers, spouses, friends, etc ... like all the time. America's fav shows include soap operas, dating games (where people get humiliated ALL the time). Everyone makes mistakes and we should be able to forgive and forget those mistakes. I hope Antonella's parents will continue to unwaveringly support her ... THAT is something she deserves! I hope that she will always be judged by her talent and not her mistakes. She has a great voice that was not presented in its best light. There will always be a place for her in music regardless of what happens in this competition! These pics were NEVER, NEVER, EVER supposed to be public. She was with people who never deserved her trust. She obviously never made a penny off of any of these things, and NO ONE can prove otherwise! She is a victim in this and does not deserve greater victimization by being booted off of American Idol or judged by hypocrites. Paula Abdul can show up drunk and or loaded on a morning talk show and all is forgiven (there are, undoubtedly, many nude, naked sex shots of her with and without sex partners that just haven't been made public!!). I don't mwan to sound judgmental of Abdul, just saying.... I just hope that Antonella doesn't quit behind this!!
so what if she has a couple crazy pictures...like you dont??!! come on people we all took crazy pictures one time or another and you kno it! she was just having fun so get over it! how would you like it if someone went through your camera and put your personal pics (that no one was ever suppost to see) all over the net!!??!
I agree with lou! It's so amazing how forgetful people are when it comes judgement time. fingers are quick to point. But Hey " don't let anyone look in MY back yard! " the only thing she is guilty of is being human. yeah human. young and making mistakes, anyone remember making any mistakes in their past?? no?? yeah that's what i thought. America, what a bunch of hippocrits we are. probabbly religious freaks. well here's one for you religious freaks... " let he who is without sin cast the first stone." ring some bells?? i'm out.
What young people don't understand is that life is not all fun and games.You don't know where your life will take you.So to be taking nude pictures just for the fun of it, will cost her.Just because everybody is doing it, doesn't make it right.If everybody jumped off the bridge, I guess she will too.And then on top of that, she knew she took those pictures and lied about them.Just because she looks good doesn't excuse her from doing something stupid.Next time you better think before you do.
I agree with Mitch, we all make mistakes, and I am one who was definitely saved by the grace of God. People are so judgemental and hypocritical and some just downright ignorant and stupid. I think Antonella is beautiful and and--she can sing. Maybe she isn't performing like LaKisha or Melinda right now, but maybe, just maybe, if either of those girls were as drop dead gorgeous as Antonella and about 10 or so years younger, who's to say they wouldn't have done it for fun for themselves. Or maybe they have and they just don't have people who are jealous hating on them right now. EVERYONE falls short and I know that God made her and He loves her and I know He can pick her up and turn her life around and use her in awesome ways for the Kingdom of God here on this earth. I certainly hope that there are Christians out there who are praying for her instead of condeming her. For everyone who is being rude about/to her, they just don't know Jesus. They might say they do, but not if they are condeming her, if you ask me, it's forgiveable. Jesus said it was when He died on that cross for her.
I could care less about how she sings, or the results of American Idol. A link to her pictures was sent to me by a friend, who had the same conern he knew that I would have. 1) I could care less if she wants to take risque/skanky photos...just keep it in your dorm room, hotel, or on the beach, not in our nations monuments to it's war veterans, it's disrespectful and unbelievably crude. 2) Good luck with the administration at Catholic University of America (where she allegedly is seeking a degree), I'm sure they are not going to like the publicity of this incident at all.
The girl is beautiful and she can sing and if she couldnt she wouldnt be on the friggin show... if u got the body and the look take whatever kind of pictures u want.. its her body.. whats the big deal... who are people to judge her.. why cuz she is 20 and not famous like britney or christina?? how come no one is talking about christina aguilera actually im sorry a married christina aguilera on the cover of maxim this month... she is a celebrity thats why... antonella looks great... she is famous now ... and good for her! p.s. if anyone doesnt like her pictures and says she cant sing.. then they're JEALOUS
She is hot il give her that but she cannot sing no way. If she makes it to like the top 12 i will not watch this show any more because people vote based on looks not singning
Angela and Billy go f--- yourselves!! I bet you both look hideous naked! Poeolpe that are judgemental like that are usually ugly as dog s---! Everyone who is being negative with this chick Antonella is doing it out of envy! Stop hating on the girl! It doesn't really matter because look what the same type of situation did for Vanessa Williams. By the way Billy, go back to elementary school and learn how to spell and write again.
Ed who gives a f--- if you watch the show or not you sound like a big herby dork anyway! And you can't write worth a s--- anyway! How many musical artists are signed today and can't really sing either. Whether she can sing well or not is based on the beholder; it's a matter of opinion!
I think she should be kicked off the show, I dont want my 7 yr old daughter or other 7 or 8 yr old thinking its ok look up to some lil slutty girl who obviously have no morals....(this is american idol - IDOL - DUH) Another thing when the other girl from season 2 idol (Frenchie I think was her name)pictures of her was brought up on the internet the producers flipped and kicked her off saying that's not what there looking for in an american idol, so what's with the double standard, what goes for one should go for all........huh.....sicken parent.
She can so sing all you freaks that say she cant must be tone deaf or ugly and jealous. As far as her pics so (&&%^%$%#$%# what she is beautiful and god gave her that gift so let him be the judge of her actions.
YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT ONLY TONE DEAF BUT BLIND AS WELL. ITS ONE THING TO TAKE PICS LIKE AT THE BEACH OF HER COVERING HER BREASTS BUT THE ONES THAT I HAVE SEEN ARE NOT SO TAME.
THEY WERE PORNOGRAPHIC AND NO I AM NOT A PERVERT. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THOSE KIND OF PICS WHEN I WENT ON THE WEBSITE.SHE IS CERTAINLY NOT AN AMERICAN IDOL. SHE IS NOT ALL THAT PRETTY AND SHE CANNOT SING. FRENCHIES PICS WERE NO WHERE CLOSE TO BEING A BAD AS ANTONELLAS.SHE IS NOT THE KIND OF GIRL I WANT MY CHILDREN TO LOOK UP TO AS AN IDOL.I CANNOT FATHOM WHY A GIRL OF 20 YRS OLD WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
She sucks at singing and she shouldnt be there with most of the girls and she acts like she so good and when see sucks so bad. and the picture come on she dont even have a tits. and to do that she is probably a slut.
Even though she's hott, it's only fair to kick her azz off the show just like they did Frenchie.......Besides she is one of the weaker singers in the girls group.
I think she should get kicked off the show.If she doesn't, then I hope all those previous contestants who got kicked off for those same reasons should sue american idol.Their basically saying that if you have the looks, you don't have to go by the rules.(And I'm not hating).Be consistant.If they let her stay, you better believe next year you will see even stankier pictures.
who cares?? i have some pictures that i have taken for fun with my four year boyfriend. If life takes me somewhere, why should i be judge if they are taken public by him years from now?
People suck and it sucks that those you hold close can betray you.
Everyone has sex, just cause she film it/took pics of it and some jackass decides to take it public, she should not be judge by that.
Antonella is a good singer, she has natural talent but needs some vocal training. As for Frenchie, she sold her pics, Antonella was betrayed. And as for all you slimeballs who are so quick to condemn her for her photos, you probably just finished taking yours and have just emailed them to some porn mag to try to make a buck. And I'm sure none of you have ever heard of a BJ before this, right? (If that is even her. -- Now don't let your jealousy get the best of you.) Antonella at least has some class for the way she handled false friends who have nothing more constructive to do with their lives (how sad) than revenge in trying to destroy another's life and opportunities. Her biggest mistake was that she TRUSTED SLIMEBALLS like most of you who are making these posts. More power to Antonella. I am sure she will have much success out of all of this, (rightly so after the price she has had to pay at the hands of pigs) (sorry, I don't mean to insult pigs) and she will be laughing all the way to the bank at all of YOU! YOU GO ANTONELLA!
I think since Frenchie Davis got kicked off Idol for posing nude, so should Antonella. Fair is Fair no matter how fat, skinny, pretty, ugly people interpret you to be. If it was done one way for one contestant in the past, then why should the treatment change for the one person in the future? Because she's "easy on the eyes"? I think not. Discrimination at its finest!
Come on let's be real the girl is sexy but compared to the other singer on the show she don't have a chance..Her voice don't compare to the other singers on the show...like simon said she went as far as she could...The other ladies are much much better singers that she is, IT WAS TIME FOR HER TO GOOOOO.

My fastidious media choice doesn't make me a big fan of reality TV shows. Brief glimpses of Idol clips were basically from morning news. A. Barba may have talents, specifically vocal-related, but from one particular clip I've seen was disappointing. And whatever throaty smoothness she has pales from the more vocally astounding Idol contenders. Speaking of nudity, overt exposure of one's sexuality and acting it out maybe acceptable to some but society in general are less forgiving and tolerant to carnal acts meant in the containment of privacy. Then again, she maybe denying it's existence(photos) but it could solely be an act because her timing could've never been better. The internet nudity/BJ picture-hype provides her tremendous exposure and publicity for her goals to celebrity status and modeling jobs. Don't get suckered in.
i would love to see her sing in the nude....man i could sink my face into that....she is beautiful and nudity is not a crime....as a matter of fact its a wounderful part of life!!!GO ANTONELLA
