American Idol Final 2

no,i dont have any basis at all about my OPINION,but the one thing i do know is the name of the game is ratings and if having a close vote means higher ratings,i dont think anyone at fox(or any other tv station,for that matter)is above doctoring the results to achieve higher ratings.as far as taylors talent,we can agree to disagree:)

Fox definitely does not need to doctor the votes to garner ratings for the show. Idol has been dominating prime time TV ratings for the last four years. It's a cash cow, they don't need to monkey with anything for it to do well. The incentive just isn't there.

I'm not saying I don't like their music, I'm just saying that the demographic of who would buy Elliot or Taylor is way narrower than who would buy Katherine's.

That I can agree with.

Plus Katharine would market to a younger crowd, they're the ones who tend to buy CDs. Elliott and Taylor would be marketing to older folks, and they don't buy music so much.

I also think that America is smarter than most of us think. We know WHO we like, regardless of talent sometimes. That's how Pickler got by for so long.

First off, let me preface this by saying that Katharine is SMOKING hot, but does anyone else think she looks like a total bitch?

Actually I think she looks like she's got a pretty sweet personality. The term "sweetheart" comes to mind. But I do think she has a bit of an ego, she seemed above criticism this week. She didn't want to hear the judges ragging on her. She thinks she's better than she really is.

That I can agree with.

I think Elliot would sell the fewest just because if he doesn't go R&B, he's going to stick with that "Songs and Standards" shit that NO ONE listens to except 100+ year old men and women.

Fuel has issues. Besides, when in a band the money is going to get split and he's probably going to get a lesser cut.

Yeah but he didn't accept the Fuel gig yet, and I'm not sure he's going to. I think he feels like he can hold out for something better, or start up on his own.

That site www.votefortheworst.com (http://www.votefortheworst.com) was behind Pickler for a while there. She could have been boosted by them. But she had a really likeable personality for a lot of people, she got a lot of votes that way too, so you're right, it's not all talent.

She had a very likeable personality and a very likeable body.

I also think that America is smarter than most of us think.

If Jay Leno has taught us anything over the years it's the fact that America isn't so smart.

Hahahahaha. Animals dressed as humans?
