When I heard Constantine's version of Nickelback's song, my ears hurt. Then Scott butchered his song, and I thought, wow, he'd have to try hard to make that song any worse...lol Thought for sure Scott would go tonight, but am pleasantly surprised that Constantine is the one that said buh-bye. Did anyone else lip-read Paula telling C's mom "he'll/it'll be all right"?

I doubt I will watch AI in the future; I think that group 'votefortheworst.com' has inspired this result.

I think Constantine was creepy - that thing he did with his eyes - ewwww! I also thought he was over confident and this hurt him. He did not do a very good job last night, but was great when he covered Bohemian Rhapsody and My Funny Valentine. I am a Bo fan - perhaps in the minority on this board. I look forward to someone with a different sound winning this year instead of the same hip hop stuff (again, I am probably in the minority here, but I am an old lady at 36 and love my rock and roll ). I think Bo has a lot of talent and he is a true musician. Like Carrie, he writes his own music and plays many instruments. My prediction is that those two will face off in the finals. One more thought...I thought there was a lot of smiling and laughter by the other contestants after it the results were announced. I really noticed it from Vonzell. Maybe it was just nervous laughter because she seems like a sweet girl. I think they all believed C was a fan favorite to win and they were relieved in a big way to see such big competition gone!

I'll have to look for Bo's clapping in the future, Az. I haven't really noticed it, but have noticed Scott. I don't notice lots of things that I should. LOL Like I said, I was not a huge Constantine fan, but I thought he gave some good performances and thought he did act pretty cheesy a lot. I also thought he did a bad job last night and would end up in the bottom 3, but I never thought he would get voted off. I thought it would be like the week Bo was in the bottom 3 - an off week. So many people who aren't even fans have said Anthony did the best job last night and are starting to appreciate him so I'm lost as to why he is in the bottom 2. Oh well.. what do I know?!! I love rock 'n roll too - I just don't think THIS is the competition for it. FWIW

I don't get to watch the results show (Revelations & Alias are on/being taped). I come in here to find out the results. I am shocked. Totally shocked. Like it's a big cosmic joke (and I checked the calendar, this isn't April 1st). Multiple votes is wrong. I think there should be no more than 3 votes per phone number or cell phone or email (like Last Comic Standing). 'squeek'

Interesting....if you look at the AOL poll results posted under Spoilers, you will see that Bo and Carrie clearly have the lead, with the rest trailing far behind and grouped pretty much together. Factor in that you may have a contingent of "vote for the worst" that boosts Scott mildly above that group, and you end up with Anthony, Vonzel, and Constantine in the bottom. Then factor in that Anthony and Vonzel had a good night and Constantine (by many accounts) did not, and there's your "answer". However, I'm still surprised that Bo and Carrie have such strong followings. I guess maybe because they are such "niche" singers and so they have a strong and clear cut following? Who is voting for Bo (ie, what demographic, not raise-your-hand). Is Carrie really maintaining such a following? Based on this thread, it sounds like even her "fans" are losing interest. *Very* early on, I thought she had a good voice but she has lost my interest because a) she's too country for me to care about her b) she sings songs that require (or receive, which makes it appear like she needs it) back-up boost, and c) her personality is like a cardboard cutout when she performs. But she's pretty. Maybe guys are sitting around in their dorms typing in her number. <shrug>

Forgot to mention in my earlier post - if Constantine had performed last night like he did tonight, he might've been safe. jmho

i'm thinking performances don't have much to do with this whole AI thing. there is no way scott should still be there, IMO. did simon's comments about constantine's band make some people vote less last night? i can wonder. or did people think he was so good (good enough to have a cd coming out) that they didn't need to vote for him, enough others would? i just truly don't see where all the scott votes came from!

My dh, who is a technical geek and has never watched one microsecond of AI, was telling *me* about the "votefortheworst.com" movement. He saw it on one of his geek sites, and said it is all over the web, so who knows who is jumping on that bandwagon

I visited votefortheworst.com to check it out then a few minutes later I hit reload and was shocked to see the hit meter had increased by a few thousand. Apparently the word is out about this site and everyone is curious.

Let's see if I can do this..... http://www.griffinity.com/dave/ That's the site, although it comes up if you type votefortheworst.com, too. It's hard to argue with their logic, except poo on them for picking such a dude with a 'tude. At least pick Vonzel or Anthony, a more deserving (ha-in my opinion ) underdog. Ya gotta see the pic they have of Scott on their website, too. I wonder if it's the actual mugshot, or just photoshopped to look like one.

Wow, I went back and refreshed the screen after I read your post, Wills, and saw that there were almost 1000 more hits.....and that was only over a period of a few minutes!!! FWIW, there were almost 55,000 visitors counted as of a minute ago!

I bet it's a scam put together by Scott's fans. Try the poll for voting for who you think is the worst-of the final 12. Scott has 2-3x more votes than Mikayla! Explain that one!

I was shocked that Constantine was eliminated even though I thought his performance reeked last night and I thought he was bottom 3 material. I also thought Carrie and Bo were bottom 3 and that Anthony was the best followed by Vonzel. When it came down to Anthony versus Constantine, I thought for sure Anthony was gone. WOW! I think Constantine was as surprised as I was. If I have to choose between rockers, I think he is better than Bo but I guess that opinion doesn't count for much now. As for Scott, I don't know. Maybe he's the underdog and that's eliciting all these votes? On the video with his family, maybe he was the one being the most real and his parents were trying to put a more supportive spin on things. I don't know, but he's keeping his head above water for a little while longer. And yes, whomever said they need to stop doing the group numbers was right. They sound lousy as a group. Their voices don't mesh well. Too little instruction, too little practice - who knows. I know that these little numbers make my ears bleed.

Well, something is off, that's for sure. That Scott can still be in the competition and Constantine is gone is just. . . wrong. But then, I thought that when Nadia left, too. Scott just bugs me to no end with his arrogant attitude and I don't think his voice is all that good -- to me it's pitchy and usually flat. I'm glad my two favorites are still in, though (that would be Bo and Vonzell), however the way the votes are going this time, I wouldn't be surprised to see them be the next two to go home.

I think part of it is that America loves to embrace people like Scott who are unapologetic about their mediocrity which poses as being an "every man." [See: George Bush ] BTW, there is no reason to point to God, Scott, when you have been saved for another week and to smile like a ham with teeth after you find out you're safe. Could he have been much worse than on the group number tonight? OMG my ears were bleeding as he tried to get into his falsetto voice and I was transfixed by his chap stick/lip gloss. It gave me the heebie jeebies more than any of Constantine's quasi-masturbatory leering ever did. And nothing could have prepared me for Paula's unique performance tonight. When she tried to frown tonight and her botox wouldn't let her? Classic! And when she comforted Mrs. Constantine and they wept together like Mary Magdelene and the Madonna? A thing of camp beauty.

I would have thought Paula would have toned herself down after the Corey Clark allegations coming out this week. A few weeks ago she says she's in love with Constantine then acts like this tonight? She is asking for it with that performance! I think you guys are giving that website too much power to actually affect the outcome. There truly aren't that many hits on it for one and ,two, every person who does visit doesn't necessarily do what the website wants. The worst have all gone home so far so they're not too successful. I thought it was Scotts week to go home but I think Constantine was equally vulnerable. Next week will be Scotts turn. I think Scott should have schooled his look of relief a bit but I can only imagine how hard that would be. I'm with Half- can't we get a winner in Cleveland in MY lifetime? Poor Lebron has a heavy weight on his gorgeous shoulders.

I am just furious! My only consolation is that now my boy Bo will win this thing. No more split vote, it will all go to Bo. I'm going to miss Constantine, I just love him. I couldn't have been more shocked! I'm gonna go cry some more now.
