Yikes. I thought Paris "The
Sure Thing" Bennett could do no wrong as an American Idol contestant. Then she had this done to herself. Check out
her bio page over at FOX's American Idol webpage.
Paris is the only one of 24 contestants who has gone through a radical makeover since we saw her this week in
Hollywood. And it's not good. Too. Much. Hair.What do you think of Paris' new look?

It's almost like they're trying to make her seem even younger. I liked her short hair, she looked young but sophisticated. As you said, this hairstyle is just too much.

The only thing I can think of is some female hating hair stylist convinced this poor naieve girl that the cocker spaniel look is all the rage.

Paris is so-o-o-o talented, so-o-o-o cute, so-o-o-o mannerly that it doesn't matter how she wears her hair. She's got it goin' on no matter whether her hair is long or short. I DO prefer the short look, but I am trying to say that she could do whatever she wants and not have to worry about reducing her ratings.

You gotta be kidding! Remember the female singer who wore a mohawk hairdo that Simon absolutely went on and on about being so terrible last year? Two nights later, this girl with a strong, beautiful voice and mucho stage personality, was BOOTED OFF!

Awwww Come on! Please don't get this show confused with America's Top Model. Paris is not there so we can judge her look, we are judging her voice. In her performance the other night, her voice had the same unique style that I loved at the first audition. New hair do or not, Paris will do very well in this competition. Oh yeah, don't forget she's only 17!!!!

I haven't seen the pic of her with cocker spaniel hair except for in this post.
She's still sporting the "wig-hat-little-old-lady-fresh-from-a-1970's-Dark-&-Lovely-box"
It's so...soo...sooo...Aunt Esther. I love her, but it's such a shame she looks so dowdy, clothes included.
Her dancing and mugging during "Midnight Train To Georgia" was uncalled-for. Gladys Knight would say "Dancing is for the Pips"

If a hear style will give more possibilities to someone than the singing, then the American Idol should be a beauty contest " NOT A TALENT CONTEST "
What a personality of those who criticize someone for the looks AJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ

Paris is 16 and young lady. Do you remember the wild and crazy hairstyles you wore at 16? Let her be the kid she is.

I was under the impression that Paris was born in Rockford, Illinois. Yet she never claims it. Is she embarrassed or something? Or is my information wrong?

I want to add to my comment. In the title headline it states.... What did Paris do wrong? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! This is not a show on looks, if it was a lot of the contestants would be gone by now. She has a beautiful personality and voice. Go Girl!

There is nothing wrong with her new do. Let her breathe people! Remember she is a little girl. So this new 'do is very that. Leave her alone and let her do what she does best.

What she looks like shouldnt matter I personnal think she is looks cute, but most important is her head and heart are in the what she is doing. And for someone her age to thank God is just amazing. I think she will go far and she could become the youngest AI

Paris could use a couple of weeks in Paris (France) for a real spruce-up. There's nothing stylish about this girl, age appropriate or otherwise. John had it right when he called her dowdy. The pigtails have told us that the only thing now missing...is the stool for milking the cow. Forget the gimmicks. Becky may not have had Paris' voice, but Paris could learn a thing or two about "the look" from her.
