Jersey Girl Barba Eliminated From ‘Idol’

The Newark Star-Ledger weighed in on the news their local hero Antonella Barba’s run on ‘American Idol’ came to an end on Thursday night. The paper writes, “Antonella may not have liked the pictures’ unexpected release, but they quickly made her the most famous contestant this season. Between that notoriety, her looks, oodles of early screentime and the fervent support of VoteForTheWorst.com, she seemed to have enough going for her to advance to the finals at the expense of a better singer.”
