Did Anyone Notice This Last Night?

I'm sorry if this has been discussed but I don't have time to read all of the Idol posts. Anyway, after Brandon finished singing they showed a camera shot of his family. The problem is that because there was very little lighting you couldn't see them. They then showed some caucasian actors from the show "Bones" and you could clearly see them. My wife and I had to rewind our TiVo but we both thought that this was very wrong. I'm surprised no one else has said anything about it.

I did not notice anything Brandon-related with the exception that he sucks.

I had no trouble seeing his family.

You need to fix the brightness on your television.

Physics 101. White people reflect light better.

Actually I just saw a screenshot on another site, and it looked like there was no one in the shot. It just says "Brandon's Family" at the bottom of the screen.

What exactly is your point? Racism? Why don't you worry about other things instead of making an issue out of something that ISN'T ONE.

I think it was just a mistake. It is live tv.

I guess OP's point is that... it was racism? Maybe the producers were just biased against the families of contestants who suck. (Though to be fair I have a pretty clear image of what Sanjaya's mom looks like...)
