holy idol

Happy Friday, everyone. Get some rest this weekend and gear up for another exciting week on "Idol."

One short item of gossip...Jordin could be receiving piles of votes from the Christian right, according to this article. It discusses a photo circulating online of her holding a "Stop Abortion Now" sign. Also, Jordin has performed at events hosted by the Arizona Right to Life. See pics here.

I don't think the stance alone is enough to account for her success -- Chris Sligh, also a strong Christian, was eliminated early in the competition -- but it raises some interesting questions about the extent to which people factor character into their understanding of an Idol.

Think about that over the weekend.
