Twinkie | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:03 pm     I've been hitting redial for an hour and still busy everytime. |
Chiparock | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:04 pm     One full hour of using a landline and a cell -- no luck with the cell, 7 votes on the LL. I'm still kicking myself for not having had the sense to get AT&T when I got my cell phone. BTW, a special segment on Dateline on Paula Abdul now playing.... |
Meme9 | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:10 pm     Phones are crazy here!!! Sometimes I don't even have a dail tone...grrrr Just 6 votes in, and busy signals going off in my ear...that all I've got in. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Well, I'm going to log off the computer, pop in a Buffy CD and hit redial for the next two hours. I will catch you guys in the morning. White text below for luck... Sending happy thoughts and positive wishes to Clay Aiken!!!! May he be our next American Idol! He is already, to me! |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Hermi, I'm in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Still no luck. Watching the show again. |
Spygirl | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Louisiana here - i tried for 15 minutes on the LL phone with no luck. I'm going back to text. |
Foliage | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:22 pm     This North Carolina girl hasn't gotten through a single vote.....Clayton discrimination!!!! |
Knightpatti | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:31 pm     I could not get through on my LL phone at all. but on my AT&T cell phone 56 votes! So I am voting for all of you! Back to voting! |
Kady | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:41 pm     I got in 2 votes before the show ended and only 7 more since. I got my son in there watching a movie and hitting redial to give me a break. I hope he gets some through. |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:55 pm     Nearly 2 hours now and still only 1 vote. |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 08:04 pm     I got another call through!!! Whoohooo!!! |
Spygirl | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 08:05 pm     I got in 4 votes on my LL phone and about 70+ text messages. I have to work at 8am in the morning, so I'm heading to bed. Good luck voting in the last hour everyone! |
Nanarobin | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 08:26 pm     I tried for 155 calls on my LL from 9-9:30...could NOT get through even once...got on my ATT cell and sent a ton of text messages...have to get back off my dialup 'puter connection and try the LL again...I have never had this much trouble getting through at least a couple of times before...bet the voting is off the hook tonight!!! My Fox local 59 channel just said they thought Ruben was best tonight and the leader...ha ha ha!! Gads...did they watch the same show I did...think they were on channel with prisoner during the show!! just joking..the songs in their news recap showed how strained poor Ruben was as I felt so sorry for him tonight. It was by far his worst night. How can they sign him and think they can keep him in shape to sing a concert? I am betting that the poor guy does not make it phyically through the 55 days concerts. I also wish they (news on 59) had shown the last song last note clip for Clay...that was the clincher......for me...gotta get back to the redial and TMessageing....thank god that part gets through, even if I have to pay for it!! It's only money...right??? |
Foliage | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 08:27 pm     I certainly hope no one in NC needs to make a long distance call! I have only gotten one vote in in 2 1/2 hours! This is nuts! |
Fabnsab | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 08:28 pm     This is so strange. I am in Cleve, OH and I get through every single time. I have been doing it for two hours now. I guess I am making up for those who can't get through. Let's start a new conspiracy thread! |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 08:42 pm     Got my 3rd vote in. Nothing on cell phone. |
Bettyrubble | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 08:49 pm     After 2 hours and 47 minutes, I got in 2... 2! votes. That boy's line is busy!!! I missed all but the last songs from both of them and Clay's BOTW was just magnificent! |
Jules | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:05 pm     Spygirl, Im in Louisiana also, at the very beginning I got in about 40 actual votes in on a LL phone. About every 5 it was busy. Just wanted to let ya know. I was going to keep trying but hubby was wanting the phone. |
Twinkie | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:05 pm     3 hours of calling...i got in 11 votes. Does anyone know what happens if you keep calling after the 3 hours is up in your time zone? |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:07 pm     3 solid hours and 4 votes. ack! I don't know what happens Twinkie but I could have sworn I heard Ryan say the phone lines would be open 'at least' 3 hours. Made me wonder if they are still open now or not so I've been still calling just in case. |
Meme9 | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:10 pm     7 votes total for me! I'm glad his lines were busy. |
Walker | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:12 pm     same here tess, i called for 3 straight hours and only got in 4 votes but hopefully thats a good thing. |
Twinkie | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:15 pm     I'm going to keep trying a little while longer even tho the 3 hours is up here. I want our boy to win! |
Kellsma | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:25 pm     2 so far on cell in California. I still have 2 1/2 hrs left but I am tired!!! I will keep trying. I have three phone lines in the house and the cell(actually 2 cells with my husbands) but I am getting a busy signal and nothing else, except those 2 cell phone votes. I thought he was great tonight and I though Ruben sounded very tired and was no comparison. BOTW was awesome. My husband just went nuts over the end and he was ticked at the judge's comments for Ruben. Gotta keep voting..... |
Chiparock | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:27 pm     Three hours, 110 votes. From 11:58 on (2 minutes short!), nothing but busy signal. Jay Leno mentioned tonight's finale; he didn't state a preference, but called our guy "Clay d lang." I don't know how he meant that, but since she's such a fantastic, talented singer, I take it as a compliment to Clay. Imagine them in a duet (kd and Clay, that is)!!! |
