[edit] Deleted reference to Borgella's vocal inferiority to Cardin McKinney

It is widely accepted that McKinney was a superior vocal talent, if not one who gave a better "Hollywood Week" performance. The fact that Borgella was selected over her was clearly a decision Simon (the Chief Justice of AI, if you will) did not agree with. The article should mention that fact and the possibility that it was tied to the producers constant reminders of Borgella's "plus size" stature. Lt.

[edit] Warning to American Idol editors

This article predates Ms. Borgella's AI appearance, and is based on her notability as a model. Therefore, the usual Wikipedia precedent that AI semifinalists should not have articles until they become finalists does NOT apply to this article. --RBBrittain (talk) 05:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
