Britney dissed by American Idol



In a conference call on Thursday, Nigel Lythgoe, the head honcho of American Idol, told USweekly that he will not be inviting Britney to perform on American Idol this season.

“I would have had Britney Spears last year when I thought she was trying to get it all back together again,” he said.

“Britney, at this moment in time, I don’t think is well enough to do anything … I think she needs to pull herself together.”

Spears, 26, is an “exceptionally talented girl,” says Lythgoe, but “needs taking care of right now”.

It's alright Brit. Maybe next year.

    I don't think they dissed her persay. Just felt like she wasn't well enough. There didn't seem to be anything terribly negative from American Idol that would have offended anyone. I think American Idol can just do better for role models for its contestants. Why not bring back some more idols that have made it big? Maybe some of the people who particpated in the American Idol edition Chicken Soup for the Soul. So many of the American Idols in the book would make great role models.
