Do you think American Idol contestant Jessica Langseth should be cut because of her DUI a few years back?

No way. She was stand up and pled guilty to DUI several years ago. She didn't fight it. And, if American Idol disqualified every DUI or other misdemeanor they would have slim pickings. In my opinion, we should cut her a break. JL served her 2-year probation without any problem (more than you can say for a lot of criminals). Plus, her 4 days in jail probably allowed her to learn some real kick-a moves in case Simon gets too rough. By the way, we have no idea what the criminal records are of our esteemed judges, now do we?

Wow, she was young, probably was trying to find her own identity. It's hard growing up under someone's shadow. I'm not good in math, not while I was in a classroom, but my dad was a math genius & I hated it when people compared me to him. Now that I'm out of school, no pressure, I can do math down to the last decimal, in my head. LOL. I didn't turn to drinking, I just grinned and beared it. Jesse did what she had to do, to deal with her identity crisis & paid the price for the choice she made. If she has learned her lesson, then I'm all for a second chance. One day she will find God & peace , just as her brother has. Bless her heart!

If there is a clause in the Idol contract saying that contestents must have a squeeky clean record, then yes. However, I doubt that this is the case. A lot of folks (especailly creative types) have led interesting lives and often find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Personally, I could care less about what people with celebrity do with their free time. I sincerely hope that with the private lives of even minior celebrities being exposed, impressionable people (young adults, impressionable middle aged folks, whoever) don't look to celebrities to be their role models.

Absolutely not. She's appearing on a game show, not running for President.

She pled guilty and served her time.

If anything, this should serve as a lesson to people about giving people second chances.
