"AI 11 Finally!!! ECST"
Posted by Snidget on 05-23-12 at 08:00 PM
In a smackdown between the East Coast Worsters and the Pacific Pinoys who will have the glory for 10 whole minutes before we forget this season, this show, the contestants and these judges ever happened.

Two groups battle for power voting bragging rights this Wednesday WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY

What you say, the results shows are on Thursday, well folks tonight is the last night of May Sweeps and it is all about the advertising dollars, after all.

Their journeys may have started the same way
But there stories will end very differently
One will be called the winner of AI that will soon be forgotten and dropped by their label while the other will be the also ran that gets dropped by their label.

Joshua tried to do that James Brown half split move and couldn't get back up.

Who are these dancers? Probably from SYTYCD. Nigel loves the cross promotion.

Tries to convince us that this will be a compelling two hours and a highly anticipated result.

132 million votes came in. Who cares from where. We got records.

And brings out Jessica and PP.

And they make him dress in white.

Did you get any sleep?

9-10 hours, so excited man in the flattest voice ever.

To me, that vote total says two things:

The Philippines votes were counted (and it will take multiple teams of lawyers plus electroshock before the show ever admits the source).

Jessica may have a chance.

In the meantime, I just looked at tonight's guest star lineup and came to an easy conclusion: the only way to get the ratings up for the finale is if a mass resurrection hits. The average age of the acts is up there and the average age of their fans may be deceased. Whoever the producers are aiming at for their audience, it's not the youth market.

Wearing a very unfortunate pair of pants that got worse as the dancing stretched them out more and more.

Finalists to center stage.

PP next to Ryan (gosh can't recall what that usually means, but sometimes they flip the order).

They say they counted and certified the 132 million votes.

Anything you want to say.

PP. An Honor to be up on the stage, we wouldn't have sounded as good without them and thanks to the fans.

J. Same thing, whole crew made the show happen. Fans, wouldn't be here without you guys.

Final time DIM THE LIGHTS.

The Winner of America Idol

Eleven

Phillip Phillips.

Posted by Estee on 05-24-12 at 09:31 AM
Ultimately, I think votes were counted -- but not tallied. Given the ratings drop and accompanying loss of people interested in voting, there is no way the show could have legitimately gotten to 132 million with their U.S. audience no matter what the power voters managed. But the captain of this ship is forbidden to admit any sinking. So the Philippines votes were added to the American total in order to reach that illusionary number. They just weren't used to help determine a winner.

I feel the show wanted Jessica to win, but the higher-ups may have actually been scared enough over the backlash from what would have been seen as a corrupted election that in the end, they tossed the script. But as said up the line, either result would cost them viewers and future talent.

At this point, there may be only two ways WGWG#6 doesn't win Season #12: there is no WGWG in the pool or there is no Season #12. Pick your favorite...
