I'm a little late in responding Mama Fruitbat! The guy that I refer to as Beaker is the one who during the auditions, had the little glasses, and the skinny body, and red hair but an absolutely beautiful full voice. Totally doesn't look the part, which I fully support, but definitely has the talent!!! I would love it if you would vote for me next Tuesday, but I'm not online in the evenings (no pc at home)...

DJ, I think you are talking about Clay also, as was I above!! I will be happy to vote for you!! Does he perform next week?

I just checked, Clay does not perform next week. Check out the site to see the contestants who will be performing and tell me who you want me to vote for for you. :)

Rick Astley folks. Clay is another Rick Astley. Geeky with a unbelievable voice.

I also believe the Frenchie and Kimberly Locke need to quit right now and start up a duet.

Jen, I said the same thing before. :) They really should start a duet. They are great combo!

Does anyone know how much it costs to call in a vote?

Grooch last year voting was free...toll free numbers were set up for each contestant. You call the number of the contestant you are voting for.

I agree Jen...Frenchie and Kimberly could be a duo called "Fate's Mama" you know...as opposed to "Destiny's Child"....okay that was a bad joke.

Whoo! Hoo! Free! I likey. :)

Can you call as many times as you like? That doesn't seem fair.

Last year my daughter and I were really into it. We watched with a pen and a notebook and took notes as the contestants were were singing. Then we voted for the two hours that voting was open in our time zone. Got a lot of busy signals but usually managed to get a least 20 votes in for our favorite each week.

Ah, I see. I didn't realize voting was open for only 2 hours. Thanks!

See, now I thought we were supposed to vote online. I'm even MORE clueless than I thought.

I've been thinking... Though some contestants don't have the face time in the early episodes, I'm wondering if a few were given "negative" face time because the producers don't really like them. After all, they have to deal with this person for a long time if he or she wins. I'm thinking here of Cory and Kimberly Caldwell. Several of us here have said we don't care for them, so regardless of how they perform, they probably won't be getting votes from me.

Not all publicity is good publicity, after all, not when the public is deciding their fates. The producers have to know this, in deciding what to feature on the show and how to portray it.

I can't stand Cory. I think he is a terrible skinny, not attractive, and way too skinny! I can't believe they kept him.

I actually think Cory is hot (Justin made my knees weak last season), but I was so unimpressed with his behavior on the show that he diminished himself in my eyes. His bio, if I remember correctly, is pretty cool, though.

BTW, Realfan, I think that is possible about the negative face time. The producers really do have the capacity to manipulate the audience. If that's true, it's interesting how some of the less attractive people are being portrayed far more positively, because Simon was pretty vocal last season about the contestants needing "that Idol look." He seems to have eased up on it this time around.

I have only read a few of the bios on the web site but am even more impressed with Beaker guy -- Clay Aiken. Wow! He sounds very grounded and together, plus the guy can sing.

Here is a link to his bio: Clay Aiken

Only one more day to go!!! BTW, Hermione - I have asked my sweet, loving, BF to bring his laptop home tomorrow night so that I can listen, then let you know who I want to go on... I really appreciate you calling for me - it sucks that we Canucks can't vote, yet get so involved in the whole process!!!
THANKS A MILLION!!!!

This is my first time watching this show. I checked the website and it doesnt tell you how to vote. Do you vote online? or is it by phonecall which costs two bucks?

Maris, The voting last time was done with a toll free telephone number. There wasn't any web voting.
