	CTV.ca \| Former Idol contestant dismisses Abdul scandal
		Vanessa Olivarez, who was a contestant on "American Idol" along with Corey Clark, says she finds it difficult to believe that he and judge Paula Abdul ever had an affair.
		Olivarez told AM that while she didn't have a lot of time to get to know Clark, because she was the first of the final 12 to be voted off, the time she did spend with him was long enough for her to form an impression.
		Olivarez says she finds that difficult to believe and notes that it would have been difficult for the pair to have had an affair, considering the tight leash the contestants were kept on.

		Olivarez: I had a couple of people say, "You know, I'm really sorry about that." They did try to fix it, but I think by that point, it was just too late.
		Olivarez: I was downstairs with the security guard for about 30 minutes, and then I went upstairs to my room and had another margarita.
		Olivarez: I think all of the contestants are great in different ways, but I love Ruben's voice.

		You will also see that Vanessa is a co-author on a fair percentage of the seven titles available for listening at her website.

		Vanessa, who swore we hadn’t seen the last of her as she waved goodbye after her surprising elimination, got to work.
		Olivarez started her own Toronto-based independent record label, Outta the Box Records, and she, with producer-co-writer Dave Pickell and co-writer James Collins, released a song entitled "The One." Vanessa also received a writing credit for the song.
		Vanessa sounds terrific on a very contemporarily produced pop number, singing about the one she loves with all those little electronic flourishes you’d expect.

		Olivarez, who has a 2-song CD out in Canada (available through HMV or Amazon.ca), does have some negative feelings towards the Idol organizers.
		Originally, Olivarez says she was told all 12 finalists would be on the tour, but organizers later changed it to the final 10.
		There has been a lot of speculation about why Olivarez was snubbed, and months later, she still does not know the reason.

		Olivarez didn't make it to the top ten (she placed twelfth), but even so she made her mark with audiences when judge Simon Cowell told her ass was too big.
		It took months to cast the role and although GGT Subscribers learned Olivarez had been cast back in January, it was only confirmed last month by Mirvish Productions.
		Weeks into rehearsals for a gig that could put her well on the road to stardom, I sat down with this exhausted yet bubbly five-foot-one twenty-two year old — as she hastily folded laundry in her temporary home in the Village — to talk about what it took to land the legendary stage role.

		Vanessa is singing Irene Cara’s “On My Own.” I am nervous, because this is one of my all-time favorite songs and if she mangles it I will have to hunt her down and set fire to her leopard-print slip thing.
		Vanessa then shakes it right in front of Simon, saying, “Randy and Paula like it, and you now you like it, you just won’t say it!” Simon insists that he’s not being rude.
		It would be a fierce battle between her and Vanessa for top spot of the night, and I don’t think I could pick a winner.

		To me, one of the big plusses in Vanessa’s column was that she didn’t need to rely on her looks.

		Vanessa Olivarez: Thanks in large part to Simon’s "you’re fat" comment, all of the normal sized people in the American population will probably stand behind their girl and vote Vanessa into the top 10.
		I don’t deny that Vanessa can out sing Nikki McKibbin in any strip joint this side of Texas, but Simon does have a point.
		It’s perfectly fine to be a plus-sized person (notice the usage of politically correct terms) in the day and age of fast food, but it’s not fine to come out on national television in a dress that even Nikki McKibbin couldn’t have pulled off.

		10:00 PM PT Vanessa Olivarez, the first finalist dismissed from this season's "American Idol," is clad in little more than a strategically placed microphone as part of PETA's ongoing "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.
		The theme of Vanessa's ad is "Be comfortable in your own skin, let the animals keep theirs," which references "Idol" judge Simon Cowell's assertion that the sassy Georgia singer could stand to lose a few pounds.
		On the show that night, Vanessa responded to Simon's comments by waving her posterior in his face.

		The "Results Show" that followed was needlessly cruel, scaring the bejesus out of all the contestants save Clay, whose smug, got-it-in-the-bag basking makes him seem primed to take first-runner-up status, a la Justin Guarini.
		In the end, Vanessa Olivarez was eliminated by "America" after suffering though a series of three cuts.
		Then, like a dancing monkey, she was forced to perform the song that left her out cold, appropriately enough "You Keep Me Hangin' On," as credits obscured her face.
