Howard Morrison: Girl, you fat!
Aging entertainer Sir Howard Morrison got in hot water at the weekend after labelling NZIdol finalist Rosita as too fat to be a pop star. "I'm not being cruel," he said. "She has already lost weight throughout the show and you can see that. She has gone from waddling on to the stage when she first started to being more in control of her performance, but she is still too big."
The last time Howard Morrison was vaguely relevant to pop music in this country was 1962 or thereabouts. Think he'd have the nerve to say that to Aretha Franklin? Or Ella Fitzgerald?

Undoubtedly had an effect on the voting too - ie, it prompted me to vote.
maybe so, Jessie, but then you see kids on the news last night, saying they voted 200 times for their Idol fave. One vote deoesn't make a lot of difference against kids with that kind of spending power. Still, better than the dweeb winning
Yikes! I could barely afford the one vote.
