Oh keep her in until we're down to the final 12, then I know I won't be booted out first!!!!!

She probably has a young fan base like John Stevens did last year who are voting in droves.

And of course the producers see those droves translating into CD dollars eventually, so they'll never change to voting format to correct stuff like this.


New from Sigs by Syren!!

Seahorse and Nailbone...........I think you hit the nail on the head. The youth is so used to sub-standard values, it's all about the buck!!! And they've got plenty of them to spend.

That is why the producers do not mind seeing her around. She help with the youngster ratings.

Missygirl3, I'm am totally with you.
You didn't get alot of responses to why people think she is still in the competition, and the ones that did respond with a theory said its because she's young. Not one person came out and said that she is a good singer or has a cute personality or anything of that sort.
We'll see what happens tonight, but I cannot imagine two of the others girls leaving and her staying!

I personally did not vote for her, but I can see the group that would in teenagers, a very powerful voting bloc.

As a couple people have mentioned, she is very young. Her and Mikalah are the two youngest competitors in this competition at 17 years old, and younger singers seem to have a noticeable advantage in the competition, as they have done well. Still depends on if you can sing, if you can't, you're out, but she has enough talent to get the vote.

However, she may have survived last week since she chose a great song for her voting bloc. She not only chose an upbeat song (which I still feel can be a major advantage early in the competition if you have a middle-of-the-pack performance), but she chose a modern song that was a hit on pop radio for a while. The CD holding her song on it was released in July 2001, which in comparison to a lot of other songs, is incredibly recent. People who listen to pop radio may remember the tune (as did I), and if they liked the song (which I didn't), that could be a drive to voting.

I'm just trying to figure it out.

She's gone now unless her fan base is huge.

I concur. Her performance last night was just horrible. If I didn't know better, I would have sworn I was watching a 12 year old singing in the talent portion of the local county fair beuty pagent. I would also swear she was losing that competition as well.
