Anthony has been my favorite since the very first week. I did not have any trouble casting my 50 votes for him and got them all in in the first hour. I should have continued on with the voting through the next hour. I live in the Pacific Northwest -- don't know whether that has any bearing on the voting or why I hardly ever got a busy signal.

I guess if there is such a website as votefortheworst.com, and you really think they are affecting the results, I say we all rally round the wagons and vote like crazy for Anthony, if that is who everyone does not want to see go home next week. Just a thought.

Highlighter , that's a real mug shot of Scott. He was arrested for domestic violence.

"American Idol Finalist's Violence Rap
Cops: Scott Savol roughed up ex-girlfriend during domestic dispute

MARCH 31--An "American Idol" finalist was once arrested for domestic violence after roughing up his infant son's mother during a Valentine's Day fracas, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to police, 28-year-old Scott Savol, one of the remaining nine "Idol" contestants, was busted following a February 2001 confrontation with Michele Martin at the woman's Ohio home."

Constantine is out because of me and my ilk. I was so sure that Scott was out that I didn't bother with the 400 vote attempts I would have normally made for my two favorites because they both seemed safe even if Scott's fans rallied him to safety.

Voting for 2 hours is boring when you have convinced yourself it is unnecessary. Just look at the poll on our board which is the same as the other boards. If you were a Scott or Anthony fan you knew you had to vote like crazy. Constantine did, and Vonzell almost, fell pray to fan overconfidence.

To quote a wise squirrel hating Canadian: ""

Kona.. I just wait and record the repeat of Revelations.. not that missing AI is of great consequence..

By the way, the AOL poll had Carrie in the lead, as it always does following a Wednesday show, but usually the next day Bo surges ahead. Scott is NOT picking up the Constantine votes

The group number was atrocious.

Nuts from me too. I have lost interest but will still watch, play the game and root for Bo but with less enthusiasm. Damn.

I find it hard to believe that votetheworst has influenced the results but I am not ruling that out. The site is getting a lot of hits because of the buzz at this point.

Vote for the Worst has been around since last season. They tried to keep people like Mikalah around. That goes to show how much power they have. Every season we have contestants that many feel outstay their welcome...Nikki from season one, Carmen and Josh from season two, John Stevens and Jasmine from season three, Scott (and perhaps Anthony) now. It's just the way the show goes. These people develop a strong fan base and/or pick up pity votes, and they stick around. They never actually win. I don't think VftW can take credit for any of that.

I personally just think people should keep on voting for their favorites. Trying to vote strategically never works, and it's not a good idea to assume that someone's safe. (Besides, Scott has had more votes than Bo, Vonzell, *and* Anthony at various times -- he could potentially do that again next week.)

I'm glad Constantine was booted. I agree with those of you who thought he acted "creepy" with those phony puppy dog eyes. Yikes, he was pitchy (thanks Randy) all of the time, and I don't think Bo is much better...but he is definitely better looking than Constantine (IMO)!

Vonzell is my #1 followed by Anthony

I must say that I really thought Anthony was a goner. I was about in tears... and then when the told Constantine goodbye, I was sooo relieved.

I think all the idols are ok, but Anthony is my favorite. I think he deserves to win. He is 100% improved since the beginning, listens to Simons critisims and takes them to heart and is willing to change. I like his "humility". Although not a fan of his style of music (more of a Led Zeppelin fan myself) I think his voice is beautiful. So all my votes are for Anthony. If he departs I won't vote, I'll watch, but not vote.

AND.. if it is true that that other website is having people vote for Scott just because he is terrible, well then that is a pretty sad commentary of the people in this country. That they would be willing to crush the hopes of those who are competing just to mess with the network/idol executives. It would be a shame that Constantine was voted out because of that. Vote for your favorites, not to hurt others. SHEESH..

Can someone tell me what Simon said about Constantine's band? Do you mean when he talked about C leaving it or was there something else? My VCR didn't tape and I don't see anything else mentioned besides the comments after he sang. Thanks!

Taped AI...will have to view the tape later.

Boohoo...I liked Constantine and am sorry to see him go. Even though his performance this week was not that good, I still am surprised.

Don't have a particular favorite now. Will continue to watch, maybe vote for Anthony or Vonzell. Carrie was my favorite early on but she fails to impress me at this point. Bo is okay. All in all, am feeling pretty ho-hum about the whole season.

Well, my pick to win the whole thing is gone - Yep, like alot of others I never voted for Constantine because I didn't think he needed my vote. BIG MISTAKE on my part. I actually have only voted once this whole season & that was wks ago for Scott. I adore Scott's voice if I close my eyes while he sings (try it - you'll be pleasantly surprises). I really do not like Carrie or Bo & Vonzell is just too much like too many others already out there so that leaves me only Anthony or Scott & I'm leaning Anthony's way after he blew everyone else away on Tues.

'Idol' fans shocked by rocker's elimination
Thursday, April 28, 2005 Posted: 7:14 AM EDT (1114 GMT)


NEW YORK (AP) -- Constantine Maroulis, the rocker turned "American Idol" favorite, was eliminated from the show, shocking an upset audience Wednesday night.

Maroulis' long locks and sly grin had helped make him a crowd favorite on the program, but he landed fewer votes than the other five contestants. After host Ryan Seacrest announced the results, boos rained down while judge Paula Abdul looked on in disbelief.

"This seems to happen every single season," Abdul said of the upset, her voice quivering. "I can't even speak, I'm so shocked."

Abdul, who had been Maroulis' biggest supporter, began crying, tears streaming down her face. She had earlier proclaimed him "the one to beat."

A hard rocker from New York, Maroulis was something of a fish out of water on the show, but succeeded nevertheless. Along with fellow finalist Bo Bice, Maroulis had been on a mission to bring rock 'n' roll to "American Idol."

"I'm gonna keep rockin,"' the 29-year-old said after the decision was announced. "Crazier things have happened in my life, and I'm just really blessed to have gotten this far."

Though he had previously received mostly high praise, Maroulis' rendition of Nickelback's "You Remind Me" on the Tuesday night performance show wasn't deemed memorable by the judges.

Randy Jackson said it was "high on performance, but low on vocals." The sardonic Simon Cowell thought the choice of tune was wrong after Maroulis' more standard, pop selections.

"It's like 'Star Wars.' Welcome to the dark side -- or the light side," Cowell said.

Alongside Maroulis -- who Seacrest said had received over 35 million votes over the course of the season -- stood Anthony Federov, who received the second fewest votes. His version of Celine Dion's "Surrender" drew mixed reviews.

"I personally hated it," Cowell said, but added Federov's fans would feel otherwise.

Surprisingly, Scott Savol was not even in the bottom three. Savol appeared to be the most likely castoff given his frequently tepid support and a performance of Luther Vandross' "Dance with My Father," after which Cowell advised Savol to pack his bags.

Maroulis' exit came less than a week after Koch Records announced that the label would release his old band's pre-'Idol' album. Earlier in the season, Maroulis was shown informing his disgruntled bandmates of his "Idol" intentions.

No mention was made Wednesday of a swirling controversy surrounding "American Idol." ABC plans to air next week a report on "Primetime Live" regarding "explosive claims" about the show.

The remaining contestants are Bice, Federov, Savol, Vonzell Solomon and Carrie Underwood.

The Greek's Tragedy


On ''American Idol,'' it's the shocker of the season: As Scott dodges the ax once again, former fan favorite Constantine finds his neck on the line by Charles Curtis



CONNED? It's true: Maroulis, not Scott Savol, was the one to go

And then there were five. That's right: Our beloved Sméagol has left the building. After a pitchy rendition of ''How You Remind Me,'' we all knew that Constantine Maroulis had definitely put himself into the bottom three. But to the shock of everybody, from the crowd at the studio to a near-hysterical Paula, Connie was forced to put on his denim jacket and say goodbye to American Idol last night.

Though they expected a different contestant would be voted off (more on that later), most EW.com readers were fed up with the Greek sensation's on-stage theatrics. ''I used to like Constantine, but he is getting too cheesy with his kicking and staring into the camera. He should focus more on his vocals,'' pointed out Hinda. Tonya agreed: ''Constantine tries way too hard and it comes off pathetic.'' (What? The camera-kicking, come-hither looks, and constant crowd-pointing were too over-the-top?)

A handful of Constantine fans agreed that while his antics were getting irksome, it was his song choice that did him in. ''Constantine is my favorite...when he's not kicking at the camera. He may not have been great last night — he picked the wrong song — but I love his voice, love the pout, love the attitude!'' declared MissyChrissyNY. Still, another reader, Beth, was ecstatic watching Simon give Constantine a verbal thrashing. ''He is a theater geek, and his performances are just that.''

Meanwhile, lucky AI fans, you get yet another week to fume about Scott Savol. I could hear the collective ''WHAT?!?'' from shocked voters all over the country as Scott not only escaped elimination but made the top three. Michele, among countless other readers, was absolutely certain that, as Simon said, Savol would be packing his bags last night: ''Scott seems to have given up, so he'll go home tonight.'' But another reader, calling himself Shame, was downright clairvoyant: ''The problem is, I can almost guarantee that at about 8:29 pm (CST) I will be staring at my TV with mouth agape as someone other than Scott Savol is voted off.''

Among the numerous calls for Scott to get the ax last night, there were a few posts from fans who truly believe he is the heart and soul of America. Patty is one of them: ''America needs an Idol who represents what most of us are, regular people. We shouldn't all feel that we have to look like Barbie or dress like Valentino to be a success. Scott has a wonderful singing voice, and doesn't pretend to be something he is not,'' she said. Still, the majority of posts had the Ohio native mixed in with Carrie and the aforementioned Constantine in the bottom three.

So, now that it's down to five contestants, who's getting the most love on our boards? It's long-haired rocker Bo, who even showed versatility in last night's group song, ''Emotions.'' ''As always, Bo Bice made the night with his performance, his vocals, and his lack of pretense,'' posted Rachel.

''[Bo]'s the real deal, most 'authentic' performer in the competition,'' said Debrah. ''Even if you don't care for rock, you are moved by his passion and sincerity.'' In fact, it's Bice's taste in rock that has a few readers questioning what kind of artist an Idol should be. ''I would like to know why some people on this board think that 'a rocker is not American Idol material'.'' wrote MC. ''Don't you think it's time for something different?''

Fans weren't quite as impressed with Vonzell, who had a few standout moments in Tuesday's performance of ''I Turn to You,'' but some readers think the best is yet to come. Michele added her two cents again: ''Baby V has only begun to show us her range and consistent ability to belt and hit 'money' notes... I have a feeling she'll blow us die-hard Idol fans away in the next few weeks.'' Alison has also jumped on the bandwagon, describing Solomon as having the qualities of a former winner, Kelly Clarkson, from ''beauty'' to ''a gorgeous versatile voice.''

As for the other Idols, fans believed Carrie's lack of stage presence and inability to stir up the crowd may cost her a run at the title. And what about everybody's favorite Ukrainian? Most posters found Anthony talented and adorable (the Clay Aiken comparisons continue to flow in) — but one reader from South Florida was distracted by his, um, boyish looks: ''If Harry Potter had an older biological brother, it would be Anthony.'' If this Idol thing doesn't work out, perhaps you have a future career in Quidditch, Mr. Fedorov?

I got such a chuckle from Reality Blurred's comment about the photo nabbed from Yahoo News, I just had to share:

"American Idol 4 fans kept Scott Savol in the top three and sent rocker Constantine Maroulis home last night. Also in the bottom three: Anthony Fedorov and Vonzell Solomon. The shock of being eliminated has already taken quite a toll on Constantine, affecting him physically, as this photo from Yahoo! News shows: "

I tried listening to Scott Tuesday night with my eyes closed and his inability to stay on pitch on that song was akin to nails on a chalkboard! I can't believe he survived another week.

Vonzelle was totally out of place in the group number last night. It was like she was unable to sing the song so they just threw her in to do the "Fantasia" shout - which she did totally off-key! It makes me wonder if she is able to sing something out of her genre (or gender as the case may be...LOL).

I agree that Anthony has grown in the competition but he is just too neutral for me - he looks like a nice kid, sings pretty but he doesn't inspire any passion in me. Carrie is kind of the same way (maybe those two should get together). I find them both boring.

LOL Rslover...Simon will indeed!

Just watched the AI tape from last night. That group number was horrific. Thought Constantine was gracious in his parting remarks. Also thought he sang better last night than he did on Tuesday.

You ain't kidding Maris...2 years from now I bet I can't even remember their names...well maybe Constantine's!
