I figured that Gina was in trouble this week because the "rockers" usually have a hard time during the week they sing oldies. Well, the good part is that she gets to go on tour, so it is not really "over" for her. Why all the sudden fury over Sanjaya's personality? He did not seem to be any different tonight than any other night to me?

If they set-up AI so that fans voted out the singer that they like the least, at the end Ryan would be congratulating the winner by saying, "Congratulations for being the least disliked singer on AI". You can't build fans by having people vote out the person they like the least. Some of the most popular performers of all time are also extremely disliked by many people. What matters is does a performer have his or her fan base – not how many people may dislike them.

Lurk, if he is as bad as everyone says he is then there is a lot of room for improvement. I am curious what everyone has to say about the fact that Simon, Randy and Paula put Sanjaya in the top 24, they did it for a reason, he can sing. I think he isn't singing to his fullest potential.

To improve at something you have to have the ability to begin with. Last night Sanjaya announced firmly that he choose his song to show his true vocal abilities. I fast fowarded through it, it was so bad. I don't see raw talent. I don't see anything good enough to work on to reach a professional level. And I've said all along I think the judges focused SO much on the bad for early series entertainment that they overlooked making sure they got a really solid top 12. I think a few of them don't deserve to be there. I would bet if Haley had LaKeisha's body type, she wouldn't have gotten to Hollywood. JMHO

Tonight proves to me that this show is rigged. There is no way on God's green earth that Sanjaya should still be getting enough votes to not even be in the bottom three.

He is getting the votes, just look at the dialidol results.

This stinks. The show won't air here for 2 more hours, but I feel as though my whole night is ruined now. How stupid is that? Well, I hope that this might finally give the producer's something to think about when it comes to the way we vote, especially the further Sanjaya goes.

Amy, he is not a bad singer, but as much as Randy Paula and Simon are judges, they are also de facto producers of this show. They put Sanjaya through because they knew he would be popular with the tweeners. Also, even though there is room to improve, there is limited potential for him to improve. The raw material is just not there...again, he's not a bad singer, he's just not a good singer.

Well, I am done with AI for now. I liked Gina. Like Lakisha and Blake. But Sanjaya gets on my nerves. lol I have missed the last 2 results shows and have discovered I do not really care.

Amy.. do you think Sanjaya would be there, if Vote for the Worst, and Howard Sterns weren't promoting him? Stern's probably has phone bank's with autodialer's set up, lol. And yes, that's why I say what I did because of how fast Sanjaya got over 40,000 votes compared to the other's. (As seen on Dial Idol chart's.)

I think it is impossible to quantify VFTW's affect on the totals. All we know for a fact is that VFTW promoted both Antonella and Sundance before switching to Sanjaya and failed to even get them as far as into the top twelve, against weaker competition.

At this point no one will know wether or not he would be there without all the publicity, but he probably wouldn't. I think american idol has lost it's way because I don't think half the contestants that have been on the show are "Idol" material. The only winner that I would classify as an "Idol" would be Kelly Clarkson.

For some reason the Navy community at Jax is not supporting Phil much. Last night at the club on NAS Jax, the TV wasn't on AI and no mention of it. Also, the church Phil goes to wasn't having a get together to watch AI. Very little was mentioned in the Jacksonville Newspaper yesterday. This was in the base newspaper at NAS Jax:

I say we all vote for Sanjaya and force Simon's hand to change the voting system for next season. Let's make Fox's little social experiment go awry only 6 seasons in. Simon will stroke out if Sanjaya wins over Lakisha or Melinda. I liked Gina...never thought she could win, but hands down she sang better than Sanjaya, Haley and even Chris R. But I never get the appeal of either Blake or Chris.

It was bad and I felt bad enough to self mod. But seriously though...let's make Simon regret till his dying days that he put Sanjaya through to the top 24.

Someone asked a while ago if someone else would buy a Sanjaya album...I can say I would. He's not my favorite, won't be singing the music I like, but Kota likes him and if he's got an album out, I'd buy it for her for her birthday or Christmas because I know she likes him.

I can't bring myself to vote for him. I'm not much into any of them at this point. Maybe Blake....
