play2survive2 7 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 04-22-04, 11:34 AM (EST) "HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" LAST EDITED ON 04-22-04 AT 12:03 PM (EST) Please go to www.idolonfox.com and sign the petition(s) to save Jennifer Hudson. It's clear that almost everyone feels something is fishy about the voting. For those of you who don't know, there were tornadoes in Illinois (Jennifer's homestate) that prevented at least 20,000 households from voting for their hometown favorite. She was the TOP vote-getter the previous week, so one can only assume this had something to do with her fall this week. PLEASE GO SIGN THE PETITION IMMEDIATELY! Many thanks.   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" I saw no petitions...any directions? I have to be honest...with the weather issues in the Midwest during the spring (Prime AI season), I would be shocked if Fox allowed a precedent to be set and a "recall" to happen. I'm sure there's an "Act of God" clause somewhere....   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" Go to www.idolonfox.com Click "Community" Link. You will see a number of post subjects on the left side of your screen. When you click on any one of them you will be sent to the message boards. There are a number of subject lines, but at least three of them are petitions for Jennifer. I agree that the likelihood is slim, but then again, so many people are boycotting the show, that it would be in AI's best interest to bring her back. Even if the tornadoes are just a good excuse, it would be a smart move for Fox to save the show. Thanks for your help!   Top

Also, there's an "edit" button that allows you to make changes in your original post. at least three of them are petitions for Jennifer This is why we try to keep things clean on our boards. Scattered petitions like this won't be as effective as one concerted effort. <==flashed by J_Loaf not that it will make much difference anyway   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" I know it's not likely, but if there's any reality show that does whatever it wants, it's AI. I wouldn't be surprised if they looked at this controversy (and that nasty weather situation) as an opportunity to extend the season one extra week. You just never know.   Top

Sansy 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 04-22-04, 12:36 PM (EST) 9. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" I was so upset, that I was actually shaking. What is happening here? Please come up with a legitimate way to get Jennifer back. How about the Illinois tornado?? I hate to even suggest this, but maybe America doesn't want another African-American Idol!!! All 3 of these girls will make it anyway, but one of them should have the honor of being The American Idol! Maybe the way the voting is done should be changed. How about America takes 50% of the vote, but PROFESSIONALS are added one by one to the judge's table when the contestants get down to 6. I guess that would not have saved Jennifer, but hopefully this will never happen again!! A loyal but very upset fan   Top

archon 178 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 04-22-04, 02:11 PM (EST) 19. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" Sansy... You have gotta be kidding... Race as an issue? Maybe you didnt notice, but 50% of the votes last year went to Rueben -- and im sure all his votes were not all from voters of African heritage... Is it possible -- just possible -- that the voting public is tired of divas and wants to hear something else? As for the tornaodes in IL -- well, cant argue that could cause some problems. Perhaps all the voting in Chicago didnt register... Who knows... What I do know is this -- IF they can sell more COKE and FORDs - then for sure they will bring her back. In the end, its not about race, its not about talent, its not about records, its not about image... It is about how much soap they can sell. Archon Cynical? Sure -- but that doesn't mean I'm wrong...   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" Thanks Archon, you always say things correctly. I am not African American and I voted for George... Why is it all of a sudden because the 3 Divas were broken up that its an issue of race.??? Also, tornadoes in Chicago or Illinois, I would say at this point those people who were hit by the damage or not thinking that Oh I did not get to cast my vote for Jennifer. What is happening to everyone with this?? she got voted out and its a game and America chooses. You cannot have a complete winner if they were splitting votes 3 ways and I say that is what happened. I bet if any of the other 4 had been voted out, would all of this been transpiring today???? No. Had George gone, would the race card been thrown up, No. Its time to move on.....   Top

dkay1211 54 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 04-26-04, 10:09 PM (EST) 44. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" Thank you so much for the point you made in your post...one I believe may be true: Maybe people were getting tired of the whole diva thing and wanted to hear something else....I know that even though I think all 3 are good singers, I kind of tired of hearing about them constantly as if there is nobody else competing...not to mention the fact that there is nothing really different about them...nothing you can't hear on the radio now....though they are talented... I believe that I had read that someone from AI, maybe it was Randy, even said even without the power outage, that would not have been enough votes to save her.... I know it is sad when your favorite is voted off, however, I think it is unfair to make up a dozen excuses as to why it happened, that there must have been a reason besides maybe PEOPLE WHO VOTED DIDN'T WANNA VOTE FOR HER....maybe the votes split between the 3, maybe people were tiring of her...who knows, she didn't get enough votes, bottom line....=) Just use it as a lesson that if you have a favorite, VOTE for them....and also, it seems that some people vote for 2 or 3 different people the same week, I personally think this is a waste....pick one and vote for them and I think you will accomplish more with your voting....   Top

CRyanShort 42 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 04-22-04, 05:17 PM (EST) 26. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" The fact that you suggest race has something to do with last night's outcome is insulting. Only ultra-white John Stevens is the only white person in the competition anymore. Irresponsible and precipitous remarks like yours do nothing but insult and belittle so much of the civil rights movement.   Top

Now, I could correct it for you, but what would you learn from that? Nothing good, really. And it would also help if you provided where the petition was on that site--it's pretty big, and not obvious. <==flashed by J_Loaf Did you know that there is also a community board there? *shudder*   Top

Niser 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 04-22-04, 12:33 PM (EST) 8. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" Hi all, I tried to go to the website you posted to sign the petition, and it comes up as not being a valid webpage.... I watched Idol night before last, and I voted for Jennifer. I had not particularly liked Jennifer at the beginning, and my favorites have been Fantasia and George, but Jennifer's performance the other night was her best, and definitely one of the best that night. I was shocked to see this morning that she had been kicked off.....my first thought was that there must have been a mix up in the tallying or something. Something isn't right, that's for sure. John has a unique voice, but he just doesn't have the talent and stage presence that Jennifer and some of the others have. I just knew that it was going to be John that was kicked off thise week, but when I saw on the news this morning that Fantasia and Jennifer were both standing there....I was not only shocked, I felt that AI was trying to pull some sort of publicity stunt to just anger people and get some attention on the show.... Jennifer is talented, she has had probably the most dramatic makeover and postive changes of any of them....she certainly doesn't deserve this! Niser   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" LAST EDITED ON 04-22-04 AT 02:01 PM (EST) I guess if I have to chose between your opinion and that of Elton John, Barry Manilow and Quentin Tarrantino, I'll take the experts. Remember, Elton said, Jennifer Hudson "gave me chills. That voice. Astonishing!" Barry said she took his song further than he could have. Even Clay Aiken had her in the top 3. Honestly, anyone that thinks she shouldn't still be around has some other agenda.   Top

ElroyJetson 586 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-22-04, 02:00 PM (EST) 16. "Nope" She was the TOP vote-getter the previous week, so one can only assume this had something to do with her fall this week. You forgot to mention she'd been in the bottom 3 and bottom 2 several times also. Nothing too surprising here. She never had a lot of traction with America. She's simply a surprise early exit. Probably won't be the last. She'll put out an album and do just fine, IMHO. Had Hudson going in this EXACT spot in his PTTE until he changed it. Grr....   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" That sets up some sort of crazy precedent if they bring her back. What if a Hurricane hits Hawaii the same time Jasmine is eliminated? JPL fans were upset because the Preisdential thing moved voting to Wednesdays, which was some sort of Mormon Church Day. I would totally support a petition however, if it meant sending Fantasia home instead of Jennifer.   Top

seahorse 14337 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-22-04, 02:15 PM (EST) 20. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" I do not think the reason for this petition is valid. There are nearly 100,000,000 homes in this country so a tornado that causes a power loss to 20,000 homes in Illinois is insignificant 1 out of 5000 homes. Additionally, let's assume Jennifer did lose enough votes because of the tornado so that she should have come in sixth place, then the outcome would be that Fantasia would have been voted out instead. I think that would have caused an even bigger gripe from posters on this site. Additionally it would not be fair for the remaining contestants, for the rules to change in the middle of the game. Let's face it, this is a popularity contest and most voters vote for their favorite singer, and not necessarily the best singer.   Top

There is no guarantee that the people without power would have voted for Jennifer H. I live in Illinois & the tornado didn't affect those in Chicago or the surrounding areas, so the people without power are actually a very small percentage of the population of Illinois. Unfortunately the people of America, for whatever reason, didn't vote for Jennifer as their choice for AI. I think she's really talented & will get an album deal anyway. Just my .02   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" Play2survive - Jennifer was my favorite, too, and I wish she was still around, but the best way that we (her fans) can support her is to buy her records...which she will, no doubt, have in the future. She has a great voice and I'm positive that somebody is going to put her on a label. Signing petitions is a waste of time because if AI were to even contemplate bringing her back, they would open themselves up for having to bring back lots of people who had talent, but got the shaft. mld   Top

shedevil 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 04-22-04, 05:59 PM (EST) 28. "RE: hmmmm" First I'll start by saying that all of the fans of Jennifer's comments have been well said. Second, all of the judges, Barry, Quentin, Elton, Ryan and Clay all love her and her voice, so if I have to agree with America or them, I choose them. America loves Britney Spears.. enough said. Third, Jennifer's name is all over the place right now because people are outraged. Will this get her back on the show? Probably not but it is going to give her more publicity, and she will get a record contract and she will be a big star, and that is more important than winning on "American Idol", just ask Clay. If Jasmine, John or Diana win, it will be the end of the show. They will never sell enough records to justify their win. This may be just my opinion, but let's see if I'm right, only time will tell. I thought about giving up on the show, because I watch it to hear talent, not teenagers who can't sing. I thought about it and I will watch it and all of my votes and my friends votes have just transfered to Latoya and Fantasia (and I'd bet that most of Jenn's fans will do the same.)I'd also like to say that the nasty, petty, conceited look on Jasmine's face was enough to make me sick.   Top

play2survive2 7 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 04-22-04, 06:47 PM (EST) 29. "RE: hmmmm" thanks for the great comments. In the end, I know that Jennifer is better off this way. You know, if she was in the final three she'd be owned by AI. And you are right that all the controversy is only going to fuel her future. Nevertheless, I'm a sad boy today. I love the girl. Unlike many of the others, she was raw and real. I don't know if I'll watch the show ... maybe just enough to know what the call in number is for Fantasia.   Top

I missed Jasmine's face, but Diana's, John's, and George's were beyond stunned. It looked like John said, "It should have been me." Jennifer, class all the way, nodded her head, "No." What's this I hear that George and Jennifer are very close? Rumor has it that La Toya and Fantasia didn't get along with Jennifer. So what was that huge hug from F. all about? Let bygones be bygones since you're out of here, or thank goodness it wasn't me? If I were a kind person, trying to see the best in everyone, I might add a third possibility: F. genuinely felt sorry for J. Which is it?   Top

She went down when she was doing great. It's caused a controversy and America loves an underdog. Right now, everytime she is on a tv show they are going to talk about how she was "unfairly" voted off. This is going to cause the viewing audience to pay attention and hopefully that will translate into record sales for her. it's better for her to be voted off this way then to be voted off and people forget about her on down the line. If you really like her, buy her records!!! By the way, she was my favorite from the 12.   Top

shanana banana 658 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-22-04, 07:49 PM (EST) 32. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" Look, Jennifer is OUT. No ifs ands or buts about it and nothing is going to bring her back. Did she deserve to be out? No way, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Look what happened last year, where the horrific Josh Grayson made it to the final four and that blonde Mormon chick who sung like a goat made it further than others who were more talented. AI sucks in that way. I was shocked that she was voted out over the three obvious lesser talents of Jasmine, Diana and John, but I was more shocked that the three best singers in the show were all in the bottom three. I think what happened is pretty apparent: the black diva gal vote was split up, probably a lot of the three gals' fans didn't vote for them as much this week, assuming they were all safe, and the other three now have a defined following (Jasmine -- the entire state of Hawaii, John -- every high school girl and their grandmothers and all of Jon's leftover voters, and Diana --- all the remaining teenagers who can't stand John's singing.) Remember when Rueben was in the bottom three one week last year??? Everyone assumed he was always "safe" and didn't need votes. Last night was a wake up call, unfortunately to the detriment of poor Jen. I'd be very surprised if either Fantasia or LaToya is in the bottom group again. But you can bet that Jen is not coming back.   Top

Gimme a break guys. She's out and that's it. In twelve moths she'll have be on our TV screens making music and money. Just hope she doesn't get made into a carbon copy of all those other R&B artists. I also hopes she sings without the aid of a rap artist interjecting with primal groans. hehe   Top

Godd3ss 86 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 04-26-04, 09:49 AM (EST) 43. "American Idol, not home town Idol" Isnt it the idea that the person AMERICA wants, should be the next Idol. So therefore, losing out votes in her hometown should not be enough to warrant her coming back if the rest of America could care less. If Jon Stevens, Jasmine and Jennifer were in the bottom three and Jennifer was voted out, then I may say something was weird, but since all 3 "Divas" were in the bottom three, I think that was America saying quite loudly that they are tired of the sound and the yeah yeah yeahs (granted Jennifer doesnt do that, but you get the point). I dont think they should bring her back. And honestly, if she is good enough, she will get a record deal on her own like so many others have gone on to do. It isnt a death sentence for her.   Top

dkay1211 54 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 04-27-04, 08:59 AM (EST) 48. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" A good snippet from foxnews.com...... ""This just in: Contestant Jennifer Hudson ( search) was not robbed when she was voted off "American Idol." There was no conspiracy or racial discrimination. There was no malfunction in the voting system or hanging chads. When a group of people are spread out over the same demographic (e.g. African-American Teenagers), voting for three people who fit in their demographic, logically the three will split the vote. That should explain why three of the best singers on the show found themselves at the bottom of the vote count last week. OK. Enough with the conspiracy theories. But while I'm on the subject of "American Idol," people in the media — like Regis Philbin fill-in George Lopez this week — should stop calling for the head of contestant John Stevens. The kid is 16 years old, and he's doing the best he can. When America tires of him, they'll vote him off... just like when we tire of George Lopez' show on ABC and he gets the boot (hey George, what's good for the gander...). ""   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" I couldn't agree more about your George Lopez comment. Doesn't ANYONE think about this 16-year old kid's feelings in the media? One other aspect of the whole "tornado" theory....George Huff is a student at Oklahoma University -- big school in a state that is VERY pro-Sooner. There were tornadoes in Tulsa as well and AI was pre-empted for weather warnings. Now, going off the geographical theories, it would stand to reason that George might have wound up in the bottom 3 because of the dent in his voting block. We all know that didn't happen.... And I don't remember there being tornadoes in Fantasia's home town -- or LaToya's, for that matter....   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" I couldn't agree more about your George Lopez comment. Doesn't ANYONE think about this 16-year old kid's feelings in the media? John knew what he was getting into when he signed up, and if he didn't then it's still his fault for not researching what goes on with "American Idol". What about the other finalist's feelings? If John's feelings getting hurt are a problem then it just proves a 16 year old shouldn't be allowed in the competition.   Top

pretty_pretty_princess 23 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 04-27-04, 04:24 PM (EST) 52. "RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" My point is that the attacks are personal against this kid -- as if he were personally voting off the competitors. There's a line between critiquing one's performance and attacking individuals on a personal level. I did not watch season 1, but I know I don't remember any attacks on individuals in season 2. And while being a performer means having to learn to take criticism, I don't think that relieves anyone of the responsiblity of treating people with respect. George Lopez, as an actor, should have shown more professionalism. The tabloid shows which insist on showing John's face when they talk about Jennifer's vote are being irresponsible. Elton John definitely should have shown more professionalism in his recent comments. And as for preparing himself for the attention - negative & positive - that's a bit like telling someone to prepare for this not to hurt, before you hit their hand with a hammer. Thinking you are prepared for an emotional experience doesn't change the outcome.   Top

"RE: HELP SAVE JENNIFER (power-outages in Illinois)" I did go to the website, but didn't find a petition. I would have signed it. Jennifer wasn't my favorite, however she's much better than John, Diana, and Jasmine, and I'm sure America knows it which is why the votes were tainted. Jennifer will be fine, she will have a contract and she will be heard everywhere. Some of America has a way of covering up their evil. It's OK as long as the rest of us know the truth and deal with it accordingly. Simply put, Simply me.   Top
