I've felt all along they should have a sliding scale that gives weight both to the judges opinions, and to the fan votes.


Scott doesn't need any thing 'weighted'....

Very true, I noticed Seacrest called him Scotty "the body" last night.

Everytime they close up on the guy he looks like he's posing for a mugshot.

Methinks constantine screwed up by drifting away from his fan base and giving a gawd awful performance.

When Simon C. mentioned that Constantine moving from one spectrum (darkside) of music to another may generate confusion...he may have shown how important to keep the base happy.

Personally I think the whole voting system is screwy. They only have a limited # of voting lines. The lines pretty much always are busy whenever I try. So they are missing out on Millions of votes. All you need is a decent sized fan base to hit redial for an hour and you are going to keep up with the others no matter how bad you are.

Everyone seems so shocked... My wife more so than anyone else I know (Constantine was her favorite - now shes going for the drug boy Bo Bice)... I thought Constantine had a good rapport with the audience and was a good performer but honestly there is no way anyone could convince me that his last song that he sang was even fair... That was just a horrendous butchering of that song... The last 6 are all pretty good (as much as I dislike him - even Scott is singing fairly well)...

You just can't go out there and SUCK that bad and expect to make it through, in the big picture I would have Bo, Carrie, Von then Constantine followed by Anthony and Scott (in that order) but I am telling you that song sucked soooo bad... I really like the original, which kind of requires a certain taste, but for someone who had never heard it I would imagine it was 10 times worse...

Tonight's show

hhhmmmm. Scott did much better than Anthony in my opinion. Simon was smokin crack saying that Vonzelle didn't kick ass. What a moron. I usually agree with him for the most part, but that was stupid. She rocked.

I'd vote Anthony off if based on tonight's performance. :shrug:

Anthony is on borrowed time.

I thought he was worse than Scott. And Scott said he had a fashion consultant to help him dress? :doi: Wow.

It was hilarious when Ryan sent Scott to the coach, and he started celebrating because he thought he was safe.


Finally glad he is gone.

I think he "woofed" himself off the night before when he was too cocky with SImon and saying he had to decide what song to sing next week. I think the people who vote figured he's not good enough to be cocky. Either that or that vote for the losers website got enough attention that more people decided to call in and vote for others.

He almost looked to me like a boxer at what he thinks is a fixed fight being stunned when they raise his opponents hand, he seemed completely surprised that he was off.

He did look stunned - he raised his paw in victory when Ryan first told Anthony he had bad news for him..... :biglaugh:

I'm so glad Scott is gone. I pretty much like all of the remaining Idols so I won't be dissappointed if anyone of them make it. I find it kind of interresting how totally different the four of them all are.

I still think Bo should win it with Vonzell or Carrie taking second.

HMMMmmm. The day that Scott gets voted out is the day that "vote for the worst" web site went down.

Well it might not happen that way... I think Bo did well, everyone else was just so-so IMO... This was my least favorite grouping of title selections... That one was a yawner to me...

I never thought I'd say this--especially this late in the competition, but Anthony out preformed both Vonzell and Carrie last night.

This week I have them ranked like this:

1. Bo
2. Anthony
3. Carrie
4. Vonzell

Did they ever get into what was bugging V? Whatever it was, it might send her home this week unless she gets a sympathy vote. Even the second song, thoough better, was not up to par.

It's a good thing Bo came back strong with "Money," because that first country song was uninspiring (not bad, just boring).

Carrie did look pretty bad...I reckon we'll see if the barbie nation gives her enough votes to make it through tonight.

I hope they go back to picking songs from a certain year...the stuff they had was so 'eh'...
