Elton John calls American Idol voters racists

Legendary performer Elton John, who has lent his music to American Idol," says the voting public was "incredibly racist" in leaving three talented African Americans as the bottom three vote-getters on the show last week, leading to the ouster of powerhouse Jennifer Hudson. He said the vote appeared to constantly target Hudson, as well as La Toya London and Fantasia Barrino. "The three people I was really impressed with, and they just happened to be black, young female singers, and they all seem to be landing in the bottom three."
