You know, my Tivo didn't record American Idol on Tuesday night and I didn't even care. Last year I would have been wailing and gnashing my teeth. I haven't even looked on youtube to see if I can see videos (except the Jimmy Kimmel clip on Sanjaya's hair).

I'm WELL aware that it is a TV show. I've just been seeing posts from Canadians who wanted to vote during AI for years, and was wondering. When I vote, I'm usually watching another show, holding a cat and reading online or playing a game, so I do multi task and I don't put in all that many votes. Don't get started right away since I don't watch the show from the beginning, but a bit delayed so I can zoom thru commercials and other portions. Maris, I do think people have voted for Canadians on request in the past.

I can't believe that someone would start a hunger strike over Sanjaya. Every year (well …. I can't recall anyone last year) someone polarizes the viewers and stays longer than many vocal fans think he or she should. As far as people not watching the show, Sanjaya's contribution makes up considerably less than 10% of the air time. LOL - One good trip to the bathroom or for snacks should cover it. For me, I'm enjoying the whole Sanjaya thing, but then again no one that I feel strongly about has left at this point. I even have fun watching him perform and watching the judges squirm. Plus I don't think he is a significantly worse singer than most of the other guys in the top twelve and he is a lot more entertaining. However, if I could vote, I would definitely be voting for Jordin. She has a great voice, she has lots of enthusiasm, she suits my vision of what an Idol should be like and I thoroughly enjoy watching her perform. Has anyone other than a Southerner ever won AI?

Sure Scooter. You could throw a few her way (but not if it goes against your own personal preference. I know you're a closet Sanjaya fan).

I really think Jordin is the sleeper in this race...from the get-go everyone has been so impressed with Melinda and Lakisha's singing...deservedly so. They are wonderful singers. But I find Jordin to sing with pasion and emotional connection to the song. I think she has a beautiful voice, poise, confidence and a stage presence. It's hard to believe that she is only 17.

Most of the contestants this year are boring. They have no pizzazz. So yes, I do enjoy watching Sanjaya. And I think it's hillarious the way everyone is reacting over him.

Still a Lakisha fan here. Sanjaya is growing on me. I guess he reminded me too much of Michael Jackson at first.

Chris explains his comment to Phil "You owe me 50 bucks": Q: Can you explain the bet with Phil you mentioned? A: I just had this feeling in my heart that I was going home. Pretty much no one gets away from being trashed like I was on Tuesday night unscathed. I told Phil that I was going home and he was like, "There is no way you are going home before me." And I said, "Dude, I bet you 50 bucks I'm going home." And he took me up on it, and I won. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1555895/20070329/police.jhtml

quote:I'm sure Sanjaya does "get it"...he has said he knows he's not the best singer in the group, but what is he supposed to do about it? He goes out every week, performs like the rest of the idols, and people vote for him. When Ryan asks him if he thinks he should be here next week, should he really say no? That's crazy.
Sanjaya is working the gimmick. At some point, and ohgawd, I hope soon, the gimmick is gonna fail to amuse. The hair styles are starting to get nauseatingly silly (what the hell was up with that fauxhawk ponytailed thing? and why would anyone think it looked good?). Unfortunately, there is (apparently) a gigantic teeny bopper contingent (according to USA Today) who are faster on the trigger than their parents, and who will continue to vote for him until the parents wise up and take away all phone and text privileges until midnight each Tuesday night. I thought Chris S really didn't do that great a job, but I think it's sad he went home before Sanjaya. I suspect that Phil and Haley will probably go, too. I'm also thinking that both Phil and Sanjaya think they are going to win this thing, and truly don't understand why they would think that. I was really freaked out by Phil's looks into the camera on the Tuesday show (like he thinks he's so hot, and IMNSHO he's not). AI has really given me a weird feeling this year. I'm kinda losing interest. We'll see if I perk up after Sanjaya leaves. (I forgot to set my VCR to record the results show, forgot it was even on while I was away, and only found out who got axed when my mother called me this a.m. And yes, I had internet access the entire trip.)

But who is to say that the parents' are a better judge of idol material than the teeny boppers??? I don't listen to the same music as my teen children, but neither did my mother... and yah, at some point the gimmick may fail, but I gotta give him credit for comming up with a gimmick that so many apparently love (or love to hate).

I have really liked Jordan Sparks right from the beginning. Melinda is okay but doesnt really have much of a stage presence, she always has the same look on her face, Latasha is good but Jordan still has more personality. I also like Blake, love his style and the way he moves. I think Chis & Phil will be voted off next. They are just boring. For some reason I like Haley & Gina. Anyway, my final choices are: Jordan, Blake, Latisha, Melinda.

Elisabeth (from The View) actually had an interesting idea, that at some point, the voting would consist of people downloading (for a small fee) the song sung by the person/people they are voting for.. in a way to see who REALLY would produce sales.. I mean I suppose there would still be people who want to listen to Sanjaya over and over, but seems to me that wouldn't be the "entertainent people mention that they get from watching Sanjaya prance around, mugging at the camera, forgetting lyrics and tunes but sporting yet another goofy hairdo ..

I bought Sanjaya's single this week online at the idol site..It's 99 cents. It really sounds good. I didn't buy any of the other's since they all show up for free someplace or another. Actually, they all are out there for free already, but I purposely payed for Sanjaya's

There is no "Latasha". It's LaKisha.

LOL Sea! And yes, I tend to "listen" more than watch the idols. Without being distracted by their various "performances" (or not, as the case may be), you can really tell who has a good voice. I'd like F4 to be Melinda, LaKisha, Jordin, and Gina.

I like Phil and never think he "thinks" he is going to win. Different strokes for different folks, right?

I also like Phil, and do not see his arrogance or anything like that, and I do not think he thinks he will win. He has been in the bottom several 2.times now. I think he looks better when he wears a hat. In order, I think the final four should be: 1.Jordin 2.Gina 3.Melinda 4.Lakisha However, in order, }}the final four will probably}} be: 1. Melinda 2. Blake 3. Sanjaya 4. Jordin Just my opinion...
