From a reader last night (cut and pasted):
Here is a blog topic for u tomorrow: Why is jasmine now saying she is from columbus? Is it because she thinks columbus sounds better than starkville? I have people over tonight to watch and vote for her. We are all unpleased with the change and probably not voting for her. I know I will not be!!!!!
Sorry folks, I’ve been wondering why she was saying she was from Starkville. She grew up in Columbus. Her mother and sister moved to Starkville.
I bet Joe Higgins called American Idol and demanded they change the name of the city from where she was living to where she was from.
