Watching, I hear ya! I think that is the most satisfying for Claymates. Not to get into a huge debate, but that he has done so well when the judges (Simon) so pooh poohed him. I would *luv luv luv* to see Anthony outsell others from this season. Ha!

Bo used to be one of my favorites...but his cocky attitude has changed that for me. I hope he does win this and is saddle with the "American Idol" title for the rest of his career. I mean what true rocker could live that down.

Can someone clarify the phone number issue for me? Missed the show last night, read the thread, but didn't see anything about a number mix-up. Was it the same thing that happened before? If so, why didn't they re-do the performances like they did then? TIA Didn't want to see Ant-man go. Told my DH that I'd actually buy his CD when it comes out, and I don't usually buy CDs...I kind of "borrow" them from the library and then, well, you know, do that illegal thing with them. Am I the only one that thinks he looks like Harry Potter? lol Don't want Bo or Carrie to win because the judges are pushing so hard for them and I don't like people telling me what to do. Love Carrie's voice (when she's on top of the song); used to like Bo but now everytime I see him I'm too busy telling him "step away from the mike stand, sir"; V has a great voice, but I'm not sure she will sell alot of CDs if she wins. Who to root for now? What a conundrum. (Love that word! Conundrum...just rolls off my tongue...conundrum) BTW-Pepsodent! Used it when I was just a little tyke, switched to Mentadent, and now back to Pepsodent. Oral-B floss-unwaxed, unflavored. Give it to me straight...lol

Well Vonzelle's tears worked and the judges are probably thrilled that they don't have to grudgingly give Anthony even the slightest praise. For the second week in a row I wasn't able to get but one vote through due to busy signal and all circuits being busy. I've about given up on this show.

Blue, the 'prepared' hearing impaired telephone number copy (that only hearing-impaired people see on their screens) was wrong. I believe you can find details in the thread about Tuesday night's show.

I haven't watched this in weeks but I could tell Bo and Carrie would be final 2 a long time ago.

Good point, Pamy. I'm not sure what you mean, but to me, I think the judges' biases have been clear from early on. Maybe I couldn't tell whether it would be Bo or Constantine-that was a tossup to me until the night C was booted-but the judges definitely want the rocker/country singer combo at the end to push.

Ok - just have to tell ya, I am so excited!!! Not to see Anthony leave, but to have Vonzell still there. I have never watched this show until this year (and I am a reality TV junkie!) Vonzell is from Fort Myers and that is where we live - I can't wait to see what the city has planned and you bet my family and I will be there to welcome her home! Just had to share

i have always wondered if the 'actual' number of votes even counts. how do each of us little people know if they really count each vote or just have it in mind who to pick? there is no way for us to verify so many votes for this person or that person...i think we are all being played for fools and none of our calls counts at all. JMHO

HP just to add our dilema to the "scandal" . We have CC on all the time, ds' and dh are hard of hearing... you get used to it, but it annoys me that it goes over anything the networks put up, so if you're watching a talk show, and they blip up a name etc... CC is on top of that... Now dd writes the numbers down and we call... what number did dd write? does it matter... dh is seeing scenes of Last Comic Standing coming upfront.

ROFL, Bluejaxrock...please share those drugs..oh wait...I think I've found some. I am so MAD!!! Anthony was clearly the best singer last night and he should be the next AI. I don't like BO at all. He was horrible in that group song tonight. I wonder why they didn't mention the phone number goofup that I read here about. Tabbyking, I wonder how accurate it is as well. You could be so very, very right. This show is all about the producer making money and he's laughing at us all the way to the bank.

Good for you, Babyboo! And Cricket, uhh, where do you live? Can I come over? lol I've always been suspicious of the AI voting. I mean, couldn't it be like the Oscars - bring in the accounting firm to verify the tally? Or like national/state/local elections - oh wait, that didn't work too well a couple of years ago did it? OK, so like the Oscars, then. I'm beginning to believe the conspiracy theories re: the judges and voting. I'll finish out this season, but I won't watch again! (Yeah, yeah, yeah...that's what I say every year about BB...lol)

Nice to see so many of you starting to come to the dark side of the consipircy theorist! LOL I seriously do believe it never mattered how the voting went as long as the top one's the judges wanted made it. It's like one very long PR campagne for the chosen winners. What have they got to lose? They can pick someone and give a contract, or they can hold a show and give the contract at the end to the one they chose in the first place. After all the hype, sales will be generated. That's the bottom line. Well, I'll enjoy reading what you all have to say in the future, but voting is not my thing I see. I have no fav's on this show, never have. I enjoy the hype, I must admit, just as I do TAR and Survivor. But most of the Reality shows are so bogus, I don't doubt this AI and more to come will be rigged as well. But I'll continue to watch them, just try to NOT get caught up in all the hoopla! LOL Have fun!

OK - maybe the winner was determined during the audition phase, maybe we'll never know how many votes anyone receives, certainly there are many who are sorry to see Anthony go, but KIDS - half the posts tonight are from those who say they are giving up on Idol for the season.... All I can say is you better be back here next week... if for nothing else, come back for the dental hygiene tips! No wait, Fruitbat suggested toenail colors for next week:

What a load of horse crap.........literally. I tried and tried last night to vote for Anthony. I got through maybe 6 times. It was either busy or it rang and had that screeching noice...all circuits are busy...blah,,,blah....blah... I told my husband I was going to be pissed if he was voted off. How can the line be that busy and he be the lowest vote getter..... It's damn FISHY! Oh...by the way........I thought Carrie should of gone tonight. She was THE worse one last night! IMO

Carrie hasn't grown since that audition tape. Vonzell and Anthony have tremendously, imo. Bo has been doing this so long, I really don't think he would trust their critique if he ever actually got a bad one anyways. I voted for the first time last night because I hated how the judges begrudgingly complimented Anthony. I got through maybe 50% of my calls for him. I always hated how the judges pick their faves early on and towards the end, you see how obvious it is. I think i will stick to the first rounds then stop watching after the final 12. Thats when it gets utterly predictable and frustrating. I remember Fantasia screaming into the mic last year and I was covering my ears and all they did was sing her praises. I knew then just how it was to be.

ITA with you Sunrvr! BO-Licious is the best! Now, I am a huge Clay Aiken fan, and Anthony has got nothing on Clay. He reminds me more of John Stevens than of Clay. Sorry to see Anthony go too, but he can't get out of the Barry Manilow box. And Vonzi can't stretch too far beyond the Whitney/Destiny's Child box, although she is way more versatile than Anthony. That's why it will be Bo and Carrie in the finals.
GO BO ! runs out of room like Sun, straight to Bo-Licious' corner, la la la....
