The funny thing stingray is that if you think he would of won the whole shebang, he wouldn't have, because remember, you vote for the worst, so your logic would of gotten him booted.

Yeah, quite honestly, I've never heard more worthless judging in my life. She adds absolutely nothing constructive. It's always something like, "you are... who you are....you just shine..... blah, blah blah".

The mistake the other night was ridiculous.

David needs to go leave and go do what he is fit for, DISNEY. Jason Castro needs to hear some metal, because he is stuck doing the same chilled(and how Simon says it, at an annoying lou-out)crap.

You see, you don't understand how VFTW operates. VFTW takes into account many factors, notwithstanding the producers rooting for someone else. TPTB spend many hours "pimping" the person they want to see win. They want to ram their choice down America's throats. Look at all the feedback with David Archuleta. TPTB and the judges act like he is the second coming of Frank Sinatra. Have you listened to him? He forgets his lyrics, he sings out of tune, and he reminds me of a troll. Do you think he has a chance at stardom? He'll be lucky to sell 200K CDs. They bring all the sorority girls from UCLA to fawn over him, to make him look cool. He ain't.

Now, look at Brooke White. She is the PERFECT Idol: Looks, connectivity, charm, marketability and musical talent. She has a natural charm about her. Why did the TPTB root against her?

1) She is a songwriter - Clive Davis HATES singer/songwriters.
2) She is not, nor does she present herself as, a whore - Looking and acting like a $5 hooker is a pre-requisite for pop-music females.
3) She has morals - A DEFINITE no-no. She was distressed by Neil Diamond's playlist because the songs were about either alcohol or women.

Now that the world is seeing that AI is what it is: A rigged contest. (Thank you, Paula), you are going to wonder when real people will start seeing through this.

Peace.

While it's definitely true that the producers take many things into account - I'm sure they also considered that Brooke just isn't as good as the others. I've enjoyed some of what she's done, but not nearly as much as the others who remain. Producers may play a large role, but is the show rigged? I doubt it.

There's what, 4 people left now? She made it far enough - when it gets this close to the end, it becomes apparent who isn't quite as good as the others.

It's debatable whether Jason is better than Brooke, but he's got much more charm than Brook will ever have, so I'm sure he'll continue riding on that.

Brooke White has no charm, no talent, no connectivity, and I'm sorry she says I'm sorry. She has less charm than my left nut. I am not saying it is rigged, but the judges have their opinions, and if they are not what yours is you think they are trying to sway everyones decision, they aren't. Maybe Simon enjoys what Archuleta does, cause we all like stuff others don't and vice versa. It's not rigged, just not going the way you want it to, it's as simple as that.

Soooo.... given that Castro was apparently trying to get himself voted off last night, what are the odds that Syesha is the one who ends up booted off?
