Same here. I've lost interest because its a joke now. I bet there will be a change of some kind next year so this doesn't happen again. Either the judges will be a lot pickier or the voting will be different. I also think if Sanjaya is in the final 2 the show will be a laughing stock AND lose ratings.

Sanjaya is probably the only interest I have in this year's show. I don't really care about any of the contestants. I wouldn't buy any of their stuff. But all the hubub about Sanjaya is keeping me watching. The ratings will plummit when Sanjaya goes. Sanjaya = Buzz = Ratings = advertiser $$$ for Fox The producers are pushing him to do his next outrageous haircut and performance. "They love you Sanjaya. Keep pushing the envelope. You could be the next Idol." They don't care if he wins. They produce all the other's records anyway. Plus, the advertising $'s are worth a lot more than the record sales.

I have a stupid question... last night Ryan said next week's theme would be "Songs by Tony Bennett." Is he going to be a guest coach or are they just going to sing his songs?

I really enjoy the kid's singing and performances, and so do many others. I don't think Sanjaya will win, but the longer he stays, the happier I will be And he truly does have actual fans, tons of them. He made it to top 12 without outside help, so the fact he is continuing on really isn't surprising to me. I vote for him. For me, I wouldn't miss Lakisha, Blake, or Haley. The rest I enjoy very much, too...along with Sanjaya.

Anybody keeping track, starving girl just posted to her blog and it appears she is going to continue with her plan. At this point I think she is either lying, or her family needs to step in and bring her to a shrink.

"Sanjaya is my favorite and i have not gotten this excited about a contestant since Kelly Clarkson." Imagine that! <100>..but Sanjaya I also enjoy listening to and watching, the judges agree he can sing.

I was flipping channels in the dead of night and don't remember which news channel or if I read it in a link from a link on dialidol, but I did see a claim that one show like this was cancelled in the UK because of a really crazy outcome. The implication was that the show that was cancelled involved Simon. I wouldn't want to lose LaKisha. I could lose Phil or Chris R or Blake, but wouldn't think it was fair for Sanjaya to stay beyond them. Just wouldn't be voting to keep them. Right now I look at dialidol and if a singer I REALLY like is in jeopardy, that's where my votes go (clearly didn't help Sabrina. I've voted for Gina and Jordin, so far. Interesting that "Ricky" would know exact order when supposedly the judges don't know? And I suppose there may be fans of Rosie and/or Elisabeth Hasselback, and/or The View might be throwing in votes for Blake, since Rosie and Elisabeth mention him daily and yesterday wore t-shirts he sent them.

Put me on the "I actually like Sanjaya" bandwagon. It's just a matter of personal preference because I don't like Melinda & Lakisha. It's something about their style (I just don't enjoy their performances) My fav's in order are: Jordin Blake Sanjaya Gina Phil the rest are disposable to me

Naja, I haven't poked around to see, but I hope at LEAST starving girl isn't already anorexic or very thin? Not that fasting is a safe way to lose weight, of course, but at least AI runs for a finite period of time, I suppose. For the record, I consider the starving reaction/protest to be far more troubling than VFTW or Howard Stern, both troubling to me.

Lots of us mention Jordin, including me, but I hope more of us are actually voting for her because she was in the group dialidol listed as equally likely to go home, statistically.

Nah, Sea, she was a little chunky, I think she started around 160 lbs and now is down to someplace in the upper 140's. She posted a pic of her scale a couple days ago, but I forget exactly what it said. Yeah, it is troubling someone would do that in protest of a contestant on Idol.

I thought I posted this earlier: It is relating to something someone said about Melinda; singing is her job. I say It's like Melinda is having an out-off-body-experience while she is singing, her emotions do not transform to her body..hope that makes sense.

Is Idol dressing them these days?? If so I might suggest they get a new dresser...Haley looked cute, but I really didn't care for Lakisha's, Melinda's, Jordin's, or Gina's dresses... and I love Jordin's curly hair...wish they wouldn't straighten it...

Sorry, Trini! I'll try to vote a bit faster for her I do think it is time to start using the cell phone along with my landline again, though it doesn't vote as fast.

Oh that just made me think.. I know there are lots of Canadian fans woho would love to vote. Is it financially possible for someone physically in Canada to get a cell phone that has a US number and then just use that to call in? I know when my friends were here from New Zealand, one of them had a cell that allowed them to call back home cheaply and the other had text messaging that was free to and from NZ so they were able to communicate quite well. (one of the phones was set up so they could call cheaply to US numbers). They weren't chatty types to people back home but had a friend dog-sitting and were right ON her because their german shepard has those eyes that melt a person and the dog-sitter would call and say "Oh please, isn't it alright for me to take Xena to the dog park?" and Karena would be calling or texting back "NO WAY!". Anyway just wondered if that would be something peole could do.

OMG.... I am so sad that Sanjaya is still there. I think he's awful. And I'm sorry, but his hair on Tuesday was the most RIDICULOUS thing I have ever seen. I wish people would listen to the voices. My faves are still Melinda and LaKisha.
