‘American Idol’ Flap: Antonella Vs. Frenchie

Ousted ‘American Idol’ season two contestant Frenchie Davis tells The Associated Press she is bewildered over what’s happened with this season’s controversial ‘Idol’ Antonella Barba. “I don’t necessarily think that (it’s racism), but I can certainly look at this and understand why people would draw that conclusion,” Davis said Tuesday from New York, hours before going on stage in the musical ‘Rent’. “I’m not bashing ‘Idol’ or Antonella. She’s a beautiful girl and she’s young. I think it’s great that she didn’t have to go through what I went through.”
