Ok I haven't been a big Bo fan until lately but last night I was so upset that the judges did not call him out on not remembering a couple of the words in his first song and that it seemed horribly pitchy the whole way through - It just seems that no matter what Carrie or Bo do they won't say negatives about them and it makes me mad.

GO VONZELLLL

They have totally lost control of this season. I can't believe with all the talent in the final 12 that this is what we are left with - a deteriorating Bo and Carrie and two contestants who have not been able to build a solid following despite stronger vocals (Vonzell, Anthony.)

I was soo surprised last night that they were so negative with Anthony. I thought he did the best performance of them all and yet - they never, ever "give him props". Shheessh.

I really hope he wins now...really... I do, I do, I do.....

I agree Terolyn he did have amazing performances - but they already know who they want to win so they can't brag up one of the others in fear their picks would get sent home.

Well... that is NOT fair.

Shame on them, but Hooray for Anthony. I think he is wonderful. In fact they are all wonderful, but I think Anthony is the Cats Meow.

This morning on FOX L.A. morning show, the entertainment reporter said that Vonzell was "homesick". That's it folks - her brother said she was homesick is the only angle reported this morning.

If she were suffering from homesickness during the day it is unlikely that she would not be able to shift gears for the live performance.

I am not buying the dog, homesickness or the grandmother/alligator. Dad and cancer, perhaps.

We could be in for a revote. The closed captioned numbers show the same for both Bo and Anthony though Ryan said the correct numbers.

I think what happened with Vonzell and this is pure speculation, is that the idols all saw their families on the day of the taping and she was probably emotional seeing the brothers and her parents. Then when She went out on stage and saw her father, she just had a meltdown. She is very young and I think we forget how young she is, also this is probably the first time her family saw her up on a stage with all the trappings and it was probably very emotional for her.

By the time they got to taping the second song, she had changed clothes, someone probably talked to her and calmed her down.

My two cents.

I'm going to ask a really really stupid question... are the captioned numbers broadcast for the regular viewers to vote different from the closed captioned numbers for the hearing impaired? I didn't pay attention to the numbers last night because I was in the process of setting up a most fabu new puter system at the house. If ALL of the broadcast numbers were wrong - we have to have a re-vote. But then again - if they don't have a re-vote because only the CC numbers were wrong - that could pose serious public relations problems for AI too. I will not be surprised if we have a re-vote.

Extremely convenient since tonight is the first of a two-part season finale for Lost. Does anyone know the answer to my above question?

Lexie, I think they are different. I stumbled upon these screen caps of the closed caption numbers. Totally different from the spiffy FOX graphics:




ETA: Man, are they screwed up!

Thanks Bonz... I just perused the Idols on Fox site - no mention of the irregularity on the screen. Possible no re-vote. Perhaps the heat from the hearing impaired will take the spotlight off Paula????

what is wierd is that for anthony they gave two numbers 5701 and 5704. I am guessing he was 04.

As conspiracy theories go, Lexie - we thought they released Scott's arrest record just in time to deflect attention away from Paula's hit & run.... so ya never know!

ARTICLE HERE

A spokesperson for the FOX show has released the following statement:

During the second round of songs on the Tuesday, May 10 live broadcast, the closed-caption graphic listing call-in numbers for the various contestants was identical for every performer. While the producers and network acknowledge the closed-captioning error, the correct call-in number for each performer was still read by Ryan Seacrest and broadcast on screen during each performance as well as the show recap.

The producers and network apologize to our hearing-impaired viewers for any confusion, and the situation was immediately corrected for our tape-delayed west coast broadcast.

I saw some other pictures on the other boards and the "TEXT VOTE" number was correct for all of them on the closed caption, just not the phone numbers. I sure hope they don't do another do-over. The last time they did that I got caught up with something and was never able to get in the votes I had the night before. Not that I got a lot in - only 37 for Anthony and that was dialing mostly for the 2 hrs and at times using a land line and a cell phone.

He just better not go tonight after showing them all up last night. Surprisingly, while reading the FOX message boards last night, people were rallying around Anthony, esp. for being better than Carrie. Some people said they never voted for him before but did last night. I hope it's enough to keep him.

I was really worried when I heard the themes last night and thought for sure Carrie would do fabulous on the Nashville song and I couldn't believe my ears at how bad she was. I also thought Bo would do better because he has the whole Southern Rock thing going on, but geeeeze, his voice wasn't any better. Then Vonz has her meltdown and Anthony shocked me by totally delivering when I had been worried about him. If he goes, I say fowel, although Carrie & Bo have big enough fan bases to probably protect them. I'm not so sure of the Vonz though. I used to split my votes between her and Anthony, but not anymore. They've been so mean to him that all my votes have gone to him for the last several weeks.

Nice to read all your thoughts on this vote number problem.
If they don't hold a re-vote then again this will just show me this show is bogus. If they had to do it for one show mess up, they should do it for all of them to be fair. I truly believe the votes have never mattered anyhow.
I think they pick their fav's, then hold voting, to give them an "idea" of who the public likes, but ultimatly they arrange it so their fav's win.
It is pre-picked for Carrie and Bo to win this year.
So they know who needs to go, they arrange the bottom 3, with 2 being "fan based" low votes then throw in a larger fav for shock value.
The one they want to go home, will.
And yeah I think they are having a few to many problems for it to be coincidence.

I promised myself I would not get caught up in this show, because of this belief of mine, but I truly do feel sorry for Anthony out of them all. He's been picked on a bit to much by these half bit judges.
I guess it's again time for me to fade off and just watch without becoming attached.
Have fun gang!

How can they say that this messup isn't enough to warrant a revote? Any messup in voting should force them to have a revote. If/when Carrie wins, there will always be someone saying it was partially because of this.

ORRRR...maybe Carrie is going home tonight and the producers know it so they know the mistake didn't do anything harmful to the outcome. hhmmm...
