Spoiler posted on another board by someone who supposedly went to the rehearsal: songs of 2000-2005 tonight. carrie opens the show with "God Fearin' Women Sing the Blues", followed by a poncho-shirted, "sunglassed" Bo singing, "Anything But Me " (the title is probably wrong there.) Vonzell is third singing "I Turn to You". last half of the show opens with Anthony, in a blue shirt and blue pinstripe suit singing, yes----Celine Dion's "I Surrender". he's outstanding. Constantine, all dressed in black with a sassy silver belt, sings (and KICKS) his way through "I Don't Want to Be What I Really Am" (i know this is the wrong title, but you all will recognize the song.) Scott ends the show with "Dance with My Father," which is nice but hardly worthy of the prized last slot. Here's the revised list with the correct song titles: Carrie - "That's Why God-Fearin' Women Sing The Blues" Bo - "I Don't Want to Be" Gavin DeGraw Vonzell - "I Turn to You" Anthony - "I Surrender" Constantine - "How You Remind Me" Scott - "Dance With My Father" my rankings-(1) anthony (2) bo (3) carrie (4) constantine (5) vonzell (6) scott

OK, found these spoiler numbers posted on another board, not sure if they are accurate but thought you might want to see them anyway. They supposedly do not include Hawaii or Alaska: Carrie 24.9% Constantine 20.8% Bo 18.4% Anthony 16.9% Scott 11.4% Vonzell 7.6%

AOL, since revamping these polls with fancy graphics, doesn't give the actual numbers anymore.. a couple of seasons back they did give the numbers and they'd be in the hundreds of thousands.. but then they didn't allow for multiple votes per screenname.. now they encourage us to Vote Again. In fact, just to get the rankings (which are shown by the "busts" or head/shoulders of the remaining singers gliding into rank order in a creepy way) one must put in a vote.. Here is the current set of percents, which will undoubtedly tilt in Bo's direction once his fans wake up (has happened most weeks.. Carrie surges ahead right after the elimination show) Carrie 36% Bo 26% Anthony 24% Vonzell 12% Scott 1%

I watched Carrie get up as high as 46% last night. It was crazy!! When I first checked it, the order was Bo, Carrie, Vonzell, Anthony, Scott and Bo had a pretty good lead on Carrie. Carrie's fans must have signed on and she skyrocketed and then Bo pulled up a bit, Vonzell fell, Anthony climbed and Scott fell. Right now it's at: Bo 33% with him "ringed" in red as the winner Carrie 33% Anthony 22% Vonzell 11% Scott 2% Veeeeery interesting how things have changed since before for the show yesterday between Vonzell and Anthony (Constantine had been ahead of Vonzell). Last night was the first time I saw Carrie as the winner of all the times I've checked. What is really strange is: every board I've been to people say they want Scott gone. Who is voting for him if the majority of the people are saying he should be gone for weeks now? I have no idea if this is true or not, but someone on the AOL board said that someone in Scott's family owns a marketing firm and they have people power voting from there. That would make sense considering all the opinions, but it could be a whole bunch of bullhockey!

None of these polls is showing Scott accurately and that right there destroys their credibility. They have had Scott gone for weeks and he hasn't even made the bottom three half of the time.

Fruitbat, I said this before, the other fan clubs encourage their fans to vote in the AOL poll. Scott's fan club pretty much says don't strain yourself because the vote doesn't count for anything anyway.

The people voting for Scott obviously do not care to participate in Internet polls. That tells us a bit about their demographics.

Watching the marketing firm story is bull-hockey. The people who hate someone usually speak the loudest on message boards. Plus Scott's fans are blasted anytime they say diddley squat on the message boards, so they are holed up in their little fan threads and staying out of general discussion. I think that Scott has a lot of fans that aren't on the internet, too. I don't find it strange at all that he was so high in the standings this week. I mean, come on, he sang a song about a crying momma and a dead daddy and wanting a song that never ended so he could dance with daddy again and ~sob~ he touched a lot of hearts out there with that song. I believe people that never vote got up and called in a few votes between their tears.

My son keeps insisting that Scott has a big fan base. We just dont get it. It is all about his image.

His fan base is very diverse. I think that is something that people don't take into consideration, too. People of all ages, races, income levels. People who like easy listening, R&B and Pop. He has consistently picked good songs to sing that appeal to all those people. He also has the underdog vote and that particular fan base just grows the longer he stays in. He had Method Man sitting in the audience supporting him this week. I don't know who the hell he is, some rap crap guy I think, but a lot of people seemed to be impressed by his support of Scott. Rob Thomas of Matchbook 20 has said he supports him. P.Diddy says he supports him and would sign him up for a record contract, too.

Scott also has a very large Christian fan base. Scott belongs to a church in Cleveland and before AI he sang in that church's locally popular Gospel choir. Some of his Christian fans have been having church parties where they vote for Scott.

Well I love Scott's voice and vote for him every week. I always tape the show while I watch it live then I play it back while I'm in another room. His voice is beautiful.

The Constantine fans are going ape wild over this making petitions and sending emails to Fox, ABC Primetime and even the freaking FCC. They say that the phone lines were fixed because they were having trouble getting calls in for Constantine. Well, every fan base this week was saying they were having trouble getting in so I think that is just a bunch of baloney. They are also griping that it's all Scott's fault and vote for the worst. But, what I find a little silly is that if you take Scott totally out of the equation, then you still have Vonzell and Anthony with more votes than Constantine. So are they saying it was possible that Constantine could be second to the bottom, but no way he could be on the bottom? I think Constantine fans just got too smug this week and they all didn't think they had to vote as hard. Some of them also joined in on the weird stupid scheme to give Anthony and Vonzell some votes in order to knock Scott out. I think those factors plus the fact that his Nickleback performance was total crap, put Constantine out this week.

Azriel - I knew it was most likely bull-hockey but usually a "Scott fan" comes in and will debate it and they hadn't, so that's why I qualified what was said. I understand how you feel about being a Scott fan. All along I've been an Anthony fan and sort have kept my "fingers stopped" since so many people were ripping on him. We all have different tastes and that's what makes having so many different kinds of music/performers in the world, "all good."
