Sanjaya makes it again...???
 

Unbelievable, they voted him through again...at least he was in the bottom three...I actually thought the bottom three were correct but how does this kid survive...at least Haley got some love. As a footnote, I thought Jordin looked great tonight!

I'm astounded by how much TV you watch John.

hes only gonna get better

Guy puts Leonard Maltin to shame.

Sorry my lifestyle somehow offends you!

Take a look at this..

he's going to be on for a while.. someone's voting for him

I hope this doesn't burst anyone's bubble, but you might want to check out this website...

LOL I love that website...I posted a link to it yesterday in another thread. A nd now that they have Howrd Stern on board they may actually keep that kid in for a long time.

Well, as folks who know me realize, I'm not a big fan of Stern...I use to watch him, until the night he went through the ashes of that girl and make fun of her...I could just imagine the pain that heartless SOB must have caused by that act. To me...he's symbolic of what is wrong with this country and the world in general!
***climbs down off soapbox***
Having subjected everyone to my rant, I must say it is amusing that folks are deliberately voting for Sanjaya for the reasons quoted...yet I wonder how he feels about that? And then, Idol is a doorway to stardom...the kids on the show work damn hard and they seem like a nice bunch, certainly it's hard to dislike Melinda, LaKisha, Jordin, Gina, Haley, Chris S, and others. It would be a shame to see someone with real talent be screwed by this...certainly there are at least 4 folks who have a big chance here...if one of those lose out to the Sanjaya farce...

I voted for him because a local and he adds some well needed diversity

"Diversity"...that's like saying every hen house should have a Fox for diversity. Jerry...the kid is terrible!

What do you think happened with Ruben Studdard? Clay should have won that hands down and only lost because of the cheating scandal going on with Ruben... that's why I stopped watching American Idol.

Yeah, Clay has done the better of the two though...I agree that Ruben should never have won...but this poor kid Sanjaya is in a class of his own. When you get to the final two, you are talking about a huge number of votes...if Ruben got more, you have to say he had a sizeable following and it is somewhat understandable. Frankly, I thought that was Idol's weakest year...and record sales seem to bear that out.

Agree on that year being extremely weak. I was impressed with Clay's voice, though. I actually think (based upon what I've seen so far) that this year is weaker than Ruben's year. Nobody's performance thus yet has WOWED me. I'm a picky biatch though (when it comes to singing.) :p

We all like different things...that's why only 100,000 copies of Buffy comic moved the first 24 hours...lol! Seriously though, I think Melinda, LaKisha and Jordin compare to any year. I think a lot of folks are down on this crop cause the boys are extremely weak!

On the issue of the Vote for the Worst idea, i am sceptical that this has any tangible impact on the outcome. There were something like 39 million votes cast. Really, how many Stern listeners are actually going to get involved in that and vote for the worst. Sanjaya was in the bottom two so there could not have been that many votes for him. It would be different lets say if he wasn't even in the bottom three.

Of course I would have had it reversed sending Sanjaya home instead of Brandon but each season has its little voting irregularities that leave people scratching their heads. My theory is that one of the things that may have hurt Brandon was that the Black vote is split up between so many people, in addition to him being not one of the better singers.

There will be more surprises in store for sure.

Making fun of someones misfortune is not my cup of tea...I don't call that entertainment, I call it perverted, sad and malicious. You are right about one thing...I don't get it...I don't want to! Fart jokes don't bother me...making fun of people does. Why is it that after every tragic event (school shootings, 9-11, explosions etc) knuckleheads call into TV and radio stations with made-up stories (sometimes getting past screening and on the air) which end with the punchline of "Howard Stern did it" or something like that...always mentioning him! Stern makes money off the misery of others...to me he's the lowest form of human life. If you "get" him...well, that's your right just as it's my right to say what I do!!!

I've made fart stains better than Clay Aiken.

Jim,
I agree with that...if he hadn't been in the bottom three I would really be worried. Your point about the black contestants is probably accurate, for that reason, I think Stephanie may be in danger!
