Conejo | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 06:41 am     Go KIM! GO! I only managed to get in 2 votes for Kim last night. The line was busy, busy, busy - so I hope that she makes it through and is not one of the bottom 3. I really think that it is time for Josh and Carmen to leave. |
Ladytex | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 07:37 am     I got in a bunch of votes for both her and Ruben, my Dream Team, last night ... |
Bananaclip | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 07:46 am     I voted for the first time last night too! I got in lots of votes but the line was busy half the time. I just don't want to see her in the bottom three. |
Bandit | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 10:17 am     Just wanted to say that she was wonderful last night! And I love how she has evolved-she has got real class and great poise. Not to mention, a phenomenal voice! |
Crazydog | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 10:21 am     Go Kim!!!! She fully deserved to be considered among the front runners. After Carmen and Trenyce bow out maybe she will pick up their votes. She is a consistently strong performer. And she looks better and better each week - they've done a good job with her sleek hair, she looks so much better than she did at the beginning with the frizzy poof. |
Grneyedladye | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 10:51 am     I got in about 30 votes for Kim and threw in a few for Ruben and Clay. Since Ricky is gone (Carmen & Josh should have gone before him) I am giving most of my votes to Kim. She is the one that seems to be able to sing any type of song and make it her own. I don't think she should go and should be in the final 3 |
Maris | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 04:12 pm     does the call cost money? if it does I am in trouble, I voted for kim a number of times. |
Watching2 | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 04:15 pm     No Maris, it's a toll-free number! |
Foliage | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 04:22 pm     the calls are free, thank goodness. Don't wait for the dork to say lines are open, you can always get in an early flurry of votes starting about 10 minutes before the show ends. I don't bother voting the first 10-15 minutes after the show....too many busies. The lines free up dramatically after 30 minutes. Kim, Clay, Ruben for the final three!!! |
Maris | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 04:25 pm     Well I heard in the gossip thread that Rubens church is cheating, they are making 5,000 calls. What is this world coming to? I am going to hit the nursing homes next tuesdy night, all those folks will be happy to hit the phones for Kimberly. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 06:15 pm     Congrats To KIM!! Top 3, Yippee.. (LOL) .. |
Gracieo | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Man, I've been rooting for this girl since the auditions! I'm soooo glad America's finally catching on. Her voice is positively mesmerizing. Once she stumbled over Heat Wave, she's been a winner every week, in my book. I've been downloading her stuff off Kazaa every week (am I allowed to say that)? Anyway, last night's performance still isn't there. Anybody know where I can get it? |
Bandit | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 09:10 pm     Maris-remember BB2 when Chicken George's community were all phoning in a million times? It's ridiculous and completely unfair, but there's nothing we can do about it unfortunately. My guess is something like that had to have happened for Carmen the Yodeler to make it as far as she did. Her voice absolutely did not warrant her making it as far as she did, imo. Way to go, Kim!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!! |
Ladytex | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 09:33 pm     I'm a big Kim fan, but I don't see what is so unfair about what Ruben's church is doing. If you read the threads, we're doing the same thing only they are doing it in a greater quantity. |
Pagal | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 04:40 am     I was just going to chime in with the same thing Ladytex. How is Ruben's church cheating? The calls are free and there are millions of others outside Ruben's church membership who are dialing their phones for two hours to place votes for their favorite contestant. Sounds fair to me. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 04:48 am     You know what I would like to see, 1 call per number and then the computer locks you out of the voting. Only then would we get a real idea who was liked best. |
Pagal | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 05:45 am     I like that idea Llkoolaid. |
Mssilhouette | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 12:57 pm     Ahem but has anyone tried dialing using their computer and setting it up to press the necessary buttons(I mean usual all computer telephone programs come with a option to input a calling card along with an option to wait X amt of seconds before imputting the next batch of numbers. Sooooo all one has to do is set up their comp for dialing and presto plenty of votes. I'm pretty dang sure that folks have already. done this. In fact I think I'm gonna do it next week. Teehee Let's be real now there are plenty of folks "cheatin" but it's about calling in for votes and since you can vote any number of times within that 2 hour period. Hey those who can do it best go for it. Personally I want my girl to win. GO KIM L!! So I'll do what I can!! |
Hermione69 | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 01:52 pm     Isn't that considered power dialing? Fox has said they are looking out for that this year and will make sure it doesn't skew the votes too much. It was a big scandal last season. I remember reading that Fox has said that when 2000 calls come from the same number, they know something is not right and that they reserve the right to make decisions on whether to count those votes or not. They promised the public to do something about it. Whether they will or not, I have no idea. Most people here do feel power dialing is wrong. I'm not trying to get on my high horse or discourage people from voting for who they want to win numerous times, but just to let you know that power dialing is not supposed to go ignored this season. It is discouraged. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 01:58 pm     BTW, I don't really like having a discussion of this in a fan club folder. I think these folders should stay as a place to celebrate a contestant you like. So if anyone wants to respond to my post, maybe we could move it back to Misc. Gossip? Just a suggestion. I apologize for getting OT of the thread. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 03:10 pm     Oh dear, I didn't mean to kill the thread! Go Kim! |
Maris | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 03:13 pm     I dont think it matters all these people dialing. At this point the question is where will Carmen's votes go, Trenyce's and Josh's votes go. I think Simon and Randy have it absolutely right it will come down to the three, Ruben, Clay and Kim. I think Kim can win this whole thing. I believe she is the most talented and versatile. Does anyone know if she plays the piano? or an instrument? |
Rabbit | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 04:44 pm     Clay-mate Repellant Potion 1 cup of Sponge Bob squeezings ¼ cup of chopped frog butt 6 newt eyelashes 1 cup Juju drool Brew in cauldron from new moon to full moon or microwave on high for 45 seconds. Rub Claymates nose in it. Okey dokey |
Rabbit | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 04:44 pm     Oh Hermione, can you sniff this salad dressing and tell me if it needs a little pepper? |
Hermione69 | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 06:51 pm     ROFLMAO! |
