No, I hated Ruben and I hated the fact that he was placed in the top 12 on Season 2, BUT I honestly didn't think that he would win!

Now, I feel the same way about Scott. I don't care for the way that he looks, I don't think that he should be in the top 12.. and If he wins I will never watch the show again..

As for the girls, I am happy that Makalah (SP?) went through, I think that she will go pretty far.

And I like miss underwood the country singer, I think that she will also go far..
BUT I HATE Jessica, same goes for scott, She looks like a 37 year old hairdresser and a single mother of 2.
She is not an Idol, Doesn't even come close to being one.

I think that Amanda from Nevada should have went through.. can we say HOT!?!?!

What is up with Simon getting onto the pudgy/fat chicks, and not the Rubens, and Scotts of the competetion?!?!?!?!

It's a conspiracy, and I believe that the show is "guided" down a path of "rigged-dom".

It's a singing contest, not how you look. I do realize that it is tougher for a female who is overweight and not good looking than for a guy in the same boat, but let's face it, we are doing the voting, and we vote for reasons other than who sings the best.

I definitely don't think the voting is rigged. The producers have too much to lose to attempt to rig the vote. As long as the ratings stay high they are thrilled.

It's not strictly a singing contest. Image is a part of it. Looking comfortable, being able to move/dance, capturing your audience, dressing the part and looking the part all fall into that category. A singer will go farther if he is aesthetic, pleasing to the eye.

Scott seems to be working on that. He still looks like he'd kill ya before he'd lend ya a dime, though.

If it didn't have to be 6 men, 6 women, I would have loved to see Mikayla (sp) out of there and Nico in.

What kind of image does Ruben and Clay have. Dancing abilities, easy on the eyes, looking like an american idol - I don't think so. Those rules unfortunately only apply to women.

The only criteria to being an AI is building a huge fan base and having a good voice.

The claims of a conspiracy each season is getting very old. If there really was a conspiracy or vote rigging, i think it would have been exposed by now.

This is MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of viewers voting. The tastes are all going to be different, and just because someone you liked didn't get in does not immediately mean a conspiracy.

The results are based upon the tastes, ages, intelligence, common sense, etc of the voting public. Think that through for a bit.

I agree about the voting being rigged to a degree
IMHO, Amanda should have made it instead of Mikala, and Nikko should have made it instead of Anthony or Scott

I don't know about the votes being rigged, but I agree that Amanda and Nikko should have made top 12 instead.

My only complaints for the Top 12 were Mikalah getting in and Nikko not getting in. I think Anthony, Constantine or Mario could have gone in his place. However, think of last season the controversy over the so called "3-Divas". I have no doubt Fox is looking for a battle of the "Rockers". Also, watch the drama they will unfold when one week you will see Constantine and Bo in the Bottom 3. Its all for ratings. I think Mikalah made it to keep the young kids (remember Jasmine) voting. Believe me, I am sure once they moved into that house she will be annoying the heck out of the rest of the people. Her Mother seems to be as annoying as he is and becasue of her age, will be moving in too.
Good Top 12 but a guy is going to win this year. So far, the best is Anwar but since we have Ruben, they will probably fix it so that Mario wins.

More or less. I don't like seeing Mikalah in the finals, because I think some others are more talented. But the judges evidently see (and hear) something I don't because they always gave her good comments.

Other than that, I can live with the rest. Bo, Anwar, Nadia and Carrie are my top four. The rest are just "eh" for me.

I think Carrie definitely has a great voice, but what happened to her personality? Now that they're top 12 do they get help with song choice? She really got a little boring...

Posted by lovwigglesworth on 03-10-05 at 01:33 PM
Other than Nikko, I basicaly agree with the top 12. Nikko is better than at least three other guys (Anthony, Scott, and Constantine) that made it in. And better than most all of the females as well. But I do not think any of the guys that got in are bad singers, and do not think Nikko was good enough to win, so I suppose can live with it.
I have come to terms with the fact that Mikalah will be in this for a little longer even though my ears hear her as not a good singer. So as long as Janay, the other "un"-good singer, did not get into the finals, there won't be too much to cringe at. There are only three females (Jessica, Nadia, and Carrie) that I believe will even be able to compete with the males down the road, so as long as those three made it, the rest are about the same talent-level wise.
Don't know if all that made sense but the short answer is; Yes, basically, I am happy with the final 12.

I think Nikko should have made it in instead on Consty. The girls I'm happy with.


In the end, those of us that walk away winning, win more than just a loss - Audrey, Apprentice loser

Agree with you about the guys--Nikko instead of Constantine, but disagree on the girls--think it should've been Amanda instead of Mikalah.

I'm not looking forward to enduring Mikalah's voice in the coming weeks. I'm pulling for a Leah LaBelle--instant boot!!!

I am happy with all of them except for Mikalah.I hope Mikalah is the first to go also.

I'm glad that Janay and Travis are out. I could do without Mikalah and Constantine, though. They both have charisma, but IMO the talent isn't there to back it up.

I, for one, am VERY happy with the final 12. I think this is the best crop of contestants, and the best season, so far.

I like the diversity in the group compared to other years. Even Mikalah, love her or hate here, adds to the diversity.

We've got some R&B, some pop, some country, some rock. It should be a fun and unpredictable final 12.

Other Nikko not being in the top 12, I am pretty content with everyone.

I think it will be an exciting season, and I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks.

I am conflicted in who I want to win. I am bouncing back in forth between Bo and Anwar.

I'm happy with the top 12 except I wanted to see Faith Gatewood in there somewhere. Scott Savol seems to be popular with everybody but I never cared for him.... sorry!
I will be happy if Anwar Robinson, Mario Vazquez, or Antoli Federov wins!

The Top 12 is in reality a Top 11 + Mikalah.

I don't like the way they separated it so there had to be 6 guys and 6 girls.

The guys I felt had much more star potential this year and I wouldn't have minded seeing 8 or 9 guys vs 3 or 4 girls...

Last year the women were much stronger and they earned their 8 spots...

Yaaaa I agree.... last year the guys were kinda weak, werent they? I didnt like the way they separated it 6 guys and 6 girls too....
