Would be American Idol Antonella Barba caused quite the stir earlier this season once her sexy photos hit the world wide web. Her wild ways sparked debate on if American Idol was still a singing competition. Here's a hint - it really never has been. It is set up to make stars, and if they can actually sing, that's even better. Beat boxer Blake Lewis is the last man standing on the show that dumped Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson all in one night.

American Idol Romance? Blake Lewis & Antonella Barba Trade Kisses

While Chris has been linked to a bevy of babes as the show progressed it has been fairly quiet until now for Blake Lewis. Now a bit of a buzz has been created of a possible American idol romance with Antonella and Blake.

According to people magazine's behind the scenes look at the show - ousted contestant Antonella Barba returned to the Idol arena – and proved to be an unusually reserved audience member, staying put in her seat (right behind Simon Cowell's mother) for most of the show.

Still, Blake Lewis managed to catch her eye at the end of the night and blew her a kiss. She promptly returned the favor and he "caught" the airborne smooch and held it close to his chest. Is it an American idol love connection?
