"American Idol Sucks!"
Finally they have a contestant that actually looks and performs like an American Idol...and now he's out..the voting MUST be rigged. About 30 people I work with plus members of my family..tried to vote for Constantin and not one of us got through...NOT ONE!!! Yeah, the girl from OK (I'm from OK) is good and will probably have a fair country career...and a couple of others have really good voices BUT this was the year for a true idol. This has turned out to be reality rip off. I won't watch anymore, I don't care who wins, and no one will remember their name next year. American Idol Sucks!

1. "RE: American Idol Sucks!"
I agree 100%. But after a sleepless night hoping that I had imagined it all..(but I did not)..American Idol has made an enemy of me. Therefore, I intend to sabotage the show because I do BELIEVE that the two "Rockers" should have gone head to head in the final show, with the one that is out..actually winning it all!! But that dream has died. So, I imagined that American Idol ratings will go down. And, I will not watch the show any longer, but only to find out which number is Scott, and vote for him...You know why?!?!?! I am a woman scorned, and I am going to try my best to make Scott the winner and have American Idol a laughing stock, as well as, making them have their 3rd American Idol winner a recording studio's flop. Because Kelly Clarkson, has been the only real American Idol winner that has actually been able to wear that title. All the other winners are shouldhaveneverbeen winners.

I understand why you're angry. I don't want to watch either (but because of Nadia), though, of course, I can't help myself from watching. I agree you should mess with the show and all

BUT

Don't, please don't ever vote for Scott. I mean, that is the WORST reaction possible. Don't do it! Please! Don't vote for Scott. Please, please, please.

2. "RE: American Idol Sucks!"
Lets think this over rationally, and not emotionally. If you do this, some truths appear. Re: the Scott vs. Constantine boot...

1 - Constantine had a terrible night on Tuesday. He picked a bad song, he sang it terribly, and in the end i believe he alienated a lot of his fans - fans he gained from singing "I Think I Love You", "I Can't Make You Love Me", "My Funny Valentine" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". He was on a great roll, and over two weeks it collapsed due to song selection.
2 - Scott performed better than Constantine
3 - America votes for THAT night's performance. Constantine was clearly at the bottom
4 - Scott has been more consistant stylistically than Constantine

Honestly, i can't explain to you the obviously massive fan base Scott has to be in teh top 3...but its there. IF you look back at my rankings post and bootee post i did put Constantine in teh bottom 3, but throught America would vote out Vonzell over Constantine and Scott...so go figure.

In the end, i'm not in shock like a lot of people.

I completely agree - good point about voting on THAT nights performance, Constantine had a real shocker. I put him bottom of my rankings on Tuesday night, so based on that it makes sense that he went, and I don't think he can really have that many complaints.

No conspiracy theory is needed to explain that part of it..he was just plain bad and didn't get the votes he needed.

It is inexplicable to me too how Scott has so many fans to get him into the top 3. That I just don't understand at all, even in the cold light of day. It worries me that he might end up as the next AI.

I think Scott getting so many votes is a direct relation to:
1. His being the last singer and
2. Simon telling him to pack his bag.

I don't know why, but it seems many in America like to prove Simon wrong, even when he is right. All that being said, I'm not surprised Conny went home, but am saddened.

Scott's votes may also be due, in part, to this website getting a lot of mention on some radio stations.

Right, except what fun it would be to watch the producers scramble to make the best of a bad situation. I mean, how many times can one Average Joe buy an album?

Something tells me the concert seats would be empty and sales practically non-existent. And if not, then he'd be the true AI.

It would be fun to see how the rules change (or not) for next year's AI.

So get some popcorn and a Coke and settle in for a good show, whoever ends up as AI.

A lot of people are saying they will not watch anymore, but my gut tells may the ratings won't be down, new viewers will watch to see what is going to happen much. Additionally individuals who post on forums like this one and Idol on Fox are the more rabid fans. Many take the results with a grain of salt.

It will be interesting to see the ratings difference between this week and next.

I disagree that Scott had a better night than ANYONE, he did not belong in the top 3. He was terrible as always.

Beoynce had a huge hit playing up her big booty with Bootylicious
If Scott wins he could play up his eyes with the hit Oinkalicious

As a Constantine fan myself, I refuse to quit watching the show. I'm going to vote for Bo, Carrie, Vonzell, any and all of the other contestants until that damn Scott is gone. I won't Constantine's dismissal go in vain. I'm a woman with a mission. And that mission is that Scott MUST GO!!

I am a Constantine fan and very upset as I know a lot of you are. But the real concern should be shared by everyone not just those of us who have lost our fav Con...

There is something rotten in the voting process. Those of us who called in for Con know it...I called for two hours fighting busy signals all the way while a friend of mine called for Scott and got through every time. I know these stories are anecdotal but I am certain that they are also evidence of a problem.

I see people post over and over again that they can't imagine who is voting for Scott. Do you really not know? Then let me tell you...

http://www.votefortheworst.com/

and there are others like them who are determined to "fix" this contest.

None of your favorites are safe.

Constantine was a good performer, yes. Good singer? No, IMHO he had the weakest vocals of those left. This weeks performance just reminded everyone of that.

43. "Except It's Not"
Randy said it, but it's not true. If it were, it wouldn't be left to the audience to decide who wins. It'd be judged by professional judges, people who actually judged as opposed to commented.

It's a popularity contest, a one-week popularity contest. People are voting for whatever reason they want. And while Scott's fans are probably deluding themselves into thinking he is the better singer, he isn't - he's getting votes because of his story, not because of ability.

14. "RE: American Idol Sucks!"
I am still in shock this morning and so disappointed. I also wanted to see a head-to-head rocker finale.

I am sick of the way the voting is structured, where one bad night or one off voting night from your fans is enough to get booted. It's SO stupid and this happens every year.

I propose a new voting system. Starting with the first episode of the final 12, the lowest vote getter gets the boot. Then with week two, add the new vote total to the vote total of the previous week for each candidate, and the lowest vote getter still will go home. Etc, etc. That seems much more fair, and ensures that "upsets" like last night (and in previous seasons), where somebody who has never been in the bottom three before all of a sudden is kicked off the show, will not happen.

I *strongly* disagree that Scott outperformed Constantine this week. Personally, I thought everybody but Vonzell was pretty terrible. It was a bad week overall. But Constantine at least performed. Scott can't even do that, let alone sing well.

Gosh, I am disappointed. All I can say now is, rock on Bo! You've got all my votes now!

Every year we allow this show to do this to us. Nobody will ever tell me that someone who was a Constantine fan decided to vote for Fat Scott because Constantine did not do so well. Please, give me a break!!!! That is so ridiculous. This show is so rigged, I can't stand it, yet we continue to watch it.
Do you realize there were just people voting for Constantine because of his looks, etc. half of them never even heard him sing. I refuse to believe it. I am actually a BO fan but lets be real here. I think they can manipulate phone lines, its funny once again all I am hearing today is how nobody could get through to Constantine's line it was so busy, well a busy means no votes. Clay's line was busy against Ruben, George Huff's line was always busy when he went home.
This show loves controversy and we play right into their hands.
I understand Constantine had a bad night but so did Carrie, why is it her fans obviously still voted for her and I believe she actually is more hated then Constantine was.

all members of my family were able to vote for constatine last night and yes, the lines were busy and we had to keep trying and trying again. I usually wait until about an hour and a half before trying to call in however, tuesday nite was different, as I waited for about 40 minutes and then made my call. I don't know if it was busy on purpose. But, in the end result, I believe that Constatine will go far. His band already has a record deal and he handle the loss with grace. However, I think he was a bit surprised to lose out to Anthony.

16. "RE: American Idol Sucks!"
I love American Idol. It is a well-organized contest to find the best singer out of millions. All of the 12 finalists are talented and deserve an album.

Yes, sometimes we are disappointed with the result. Constantine was by far the best contestant this year. He knew how to use his good looks, great hair, sexy smile, and pitch-perfect, rich voice to convey the meaning of the songs to Americans from diverse backgrounds.

But, on the other hand, Scott is just as talented. Here is a guy who has overcome years of taunting about his weight and guilt over his violent outbursts to bring to us his amazing, sexy voice and come-hither hand gestures. His rendition on Tuesday was touching. He always knows how to make the right song choice to remind people of how hard a life he has had. He truly is "White Velvet."

I could go on, but you see my point. American Idol represents all that is good about the good, ole U.S. of A. We shouldn't abandon it because we don't agree with one vote, any more than we would abandon baseball because a few guys made mistakes about steroids or basketball because of a little brawl or interior decorating because of Martha Stewart's mistake in judgment.

No, we need show our character as a people by standing behind the remaining contestants and voting for the best one remaining, even if it is with a heavy heart and tears in our eyes.

I can't believe it, Constantine is out! What I don't understand is how it happenend. I have never voted on american idol until this season and I was so taken in with Contstatine. I have been watching this program ever since it started. Did you notice that for the first time ever, this guy did not stand up on stage and sing his last song as all the others have done in the past? Constantine rocked out with so much grace and dignity when he went to the part of the stage located behind the judges and knelt down to his family and hugged them. In the past the losing person stands on stage and hugs all the other constestants. Why would they be hugging their competition, the competition is glad to see him go, means that they still have a shot. Constantine is a man that knows where his true values are at and that is why he went to his family first.
My prediction that it is going to be between the two girls, they both are very good. I like Bo but, I think he is to cocky and has an attitude. He is a good performer however. Scott and Anthony are amatures and will be removed over the next two weeks, then it will be Bo, thus leaving the two women to battle it out.

I understand that Constatine's band has a new record deal-I don't listen to that kind of music but I will buy it to support Constatine. I am sure that Bo's band will have a record deal waiting for them too.

I hope for Constatine to have very much success in his musical caree

This site is an outrage! I take back everything I said above!!! American Idol is a rip-off if people like "lil John Weener" are allowed to disrupt the regular voting process!!!

A Nefarious Dice Creation

27. "RE: American Idol Sucks!"
I'm not sure if AI is rigged or not, but I do think the voting system has to change. One person,one vote should be the only way to do it. There's no way there's that many people actually voting for Scott's sorry butt - he's been at the bottom of every survey/poll taken on the contestants, and his performances during the last several weeks have been atrocious. He will NEVER make it as a singer because, while his voice may have a few redeeming qualities at times, his personality and appearance are so offensive that his face on a CD cover will only insure that more people watch TV. His voice just isn't good enough to compensate for his lack of charisma or performing abilities.

On the other hand, Constantine is already a star (his former band's CD is tearing up the charts on Amazon and hasn't even been released yet)and will undoubtedly do better than most of the other contestants, regardless of who wins. His performance was definitely not the worst one Tuesday (I actually enjoyed it - He IS a rocker, not just a 'crooner'.)and he DID NOT deserve to be voted out. He'll be fine, though.

I sincerely hope that Bo wins (esp. now with C gone), but have a feeling the judges (one in particular) may be pushing for a Carrie win, which would be sickening. The world already has Trisha Yearwood - do we need another one?

Anwar, Nikko, and definitely Constantine - all should've outlasted Scott and the fact that they didn't really raises flags about this whole contest. I won't be watching next week in protest of Constantine's boot - but if Scott continues after that, I won't be watching ever again.

Yeah, I was shocked that Scott made it in the top three (Altough I'm not allowed to vote...wrong side of the border and all). But I think that site is hilarious... And if it snowballs I can see it throwing a major monkey wrench in the producer's plan... Mind You I'll never buy an AI CD, or Canadian Idol CD for that matter... Still a fun show to watch and bash (especialy the judges comments)

One day I'm gonna own a big sports bar!

23. "Constantine Screwed Up."
Constantine just picked a lousy time to be awful...and yeah, he was awful this week.

He screeched out a version of a song which was very well known to the voters (most young listeners of FM Top 40).
And, while I'm not a big fan of the original, Constantine's version paled by comparison.

More screaming than singing.
He tried to substitute attitude for talent (a hallmark of more successful "rockers") and it didn't pan out for him because this isn't the venue for it.
And he should have known it.

AI's voting audience isn't the same group that goes to see Punk on the weekend at CBGB.
Constantine tried to salvage some "cred" and it blew up in his face.

Constantine is better suited for "Pop" than he wants to believe.
He can't pull off the "bad rocker" image that his tedious facial expressions seemed to reach for.

He was David Cassidy wanting to be Jim Morrison and he just ended up going home.

Yeah... it was a poor performance and I've been a Constantine fan from day one... but did he really have to go home THIS week??? *sniff sniff* I thought for certain he'd atleast make the top 4... but to be beaten out by Scott?? Why?? I don't know about rigged... but you gotta admit, there's something fishy about Constantine NEVER being in the bottom 3, he's a judge and fan favorite, with more posts than ANYONE else (including judges) on the AI on Fox "official" site... then his band comes out with a CD and poof! He's out of the running?

Co-winkie-dink... or consipiracy???? Hmmmmm......

30. "RE: Constantine Screwed Up."
I have to agree that Connie screwed up on Tuesday. I believe he tries too hard to be a Rocker and compete with Bo. Bo has a Rocker's voice, edgy, rugged looks and attitude, whereas Consantine has more of a Broadway voice with a sweet appearance.

I feel Constantine should have been gone weeks ago. His songs were mostly ballads and when he tried a harder song it just didn't fit him. Yes Connie is a pretty good crooner but he can't really compete with the polished style and voice of Bo, or Carrie for that matter. I feel even Scott has more range than Constantine. I also feel they both chose very bad songs to sing. Good luck to Constantine and his contract...but I feel he will produce "fluffy" rock.

My final 2 prediction is Bo and Carrie.

32. "RE: Constantine Screwed Up."
OK, here's my conspiracy theory to add, which I don't think anyone has brought up yet. I actually think it was Constantine that was involved, NOT American Idol. Like you said, is it a coincidence that his band's CD is coming out soon? I doubt it. If Constantine had won American Idol, where would that have left his band? Without a lead singer, that's where! I seriously doubt there was any way he could have gotten a record deal with the band...he would've won American Idol on his own and gotten a solo deal. As much as it may have seemed that he was OK with this, I don't think he wanted to win in the end at all. I think it was all a publicity stunt for his band, which worked! He was on Idol long enough to get some decent exposure and even mentioned his band's name on the air (I think), now they have a CD coming out. How would they have promoted it with Constantine still on the show?!? I think Constantine deliberately picked a song that would alienate his fans (Nickelback), knowing that he needed to get kicked off the show soon. Honestly, I'm a HUGE Constantine fan, but when I heard that he had picked that horrible Nickelback song, I said I had lost all respect for him. NYC rock bands are notorious for being "real," and I'm sorry, but any true rock band (or fan)does NOT like Nickelback (they were played on pop radio more than rock radio)! So I think Constantine got his wish: he got publicity for himself and his band, got a record deal, and doesn't have to sign a solo deal with American Idol. What more could a rocker ask for?!?

I think the top 10 are all committed to a contract of some kind, so even if he didn't win, AI has him for awhile. Degarmo, Huff, etc. are still doing AI tours.

25. "RE: American Idol Sucks!"
it happens every season and it sucks, but it is what it is. Constantine was really bad on Tuesday. Personally, I thought Scott was worse, because despite how screechy Constantine was - he is a compelling performer. Scott flat out blew it and just stood there swaying like the worthless lump of cellulite that he is.

But Scott's fans (or whatever they are) were motivated because tubby needed them. Constantine's fans were complacent because everyone thought he would skate through.

It sucks but it's inherent to this competition.

I was shocked, but - we were due a shocker.

28. "RE: American Idol Sucks!"
I agree. I never thought that Constatine was the best singer out of the 12 however, I always thought that he was the best performer. I think that what he and Bo have going for them is that they are already established well within in bands of their own. All american idol is going to do for both of those guys is carry their bands much further than they have ever dreamed of. I still think that scott and anthony are amatures and that they will probably find some type of musical career later in life, they both are much younger than Constatine and Bo. It is obvious that both men are not spring chickens when it comes to performing on stage. I have to say however, Constatine for some reason was able to pull on my heart strings and even when he was not as good as the others were, I still voted for him. Even my 18 year old son enjoyed watching him and voted for him too and I was really shocked when a few weeks ago my husband got in on the band wagon and voted for the first time and of course it was for Constatine. He has a charisma that I have never seen on ai and as an artist myself, not in the music dept., I know that in spite that one may not be able to perfect themselves in one area, they can always camouflage (spelling?) it with their best qualities and that is what Constatine is good at doing. He is able to cover his flaws with his best features, that being performing/entertaining and that is what really pulls him through.

I agree. We were all due for a shocker of a vote. It happens every time around 5 or 6 people left. Jennifer Hudson comes to mind. She didn't deserve to get the boot, but it happened. Hopefully in the end, a person worthy of AI wins this thing.

33. ""Singing Competition""
A lot of my thoughts have already been expressed by everyone else but here goes...Constantine's performance Tuesday wasn't that different from his performances early on when there were 24 finalists. His performances of "Kiss by a Rose" and "Hard to Handle" were 100 times worse than his Nickelback one, and the Police song wasn't much better. He showed zero range and not much of a nice singing voice in all of those songs. Because of that, many of us were grousing that Conny should never have made it to the final 12. Maybe he slipped through because his competition was weaker then, but this week his luck ran out.

It's ironic that he gets booted now just after he was starting to get interesting. But I'm okay with it. All things considered he was just a big slice of American cheese.

As for the bipolar voting, it is curious that he never hit the bottom three before and all of a sudden BOOM the bottom falls out. I have to think the reason is simply that Scott & Anthony stoked their fan base, and the Poster Boy for Kraft Singles didn't perform well enough to motivate his. Simon's comment to Anthony (about giving his fans what they want) turned out to be pretty prescient, IMO.

An entirely plausible theory.

Mine is that this week was the head to head rocker competition, and Bo won. Simple as that.

And those early performances? Are precisely why Vote The Worst backed Constantsuck in the early days and helped to get him into the Final 12 in the first place.

It's ironic that he became too good for VTW to support, and they switched to Scott.

It's not VTWs' fault that Connie is gone. If anything, it's their fault he was in in the first place. Connie is gone because many of his new-found fans deserted him in his hour of need.

IMHO, Constantine was Guarini Redux. I can't say I'm sorry to see him gone. His posing and Guarinesque posturing to the cameras were nauseating.....to me. (I can see how he'd appeal to many...but not me.) I shudder to think that Constantine might have gone as far as Guarini.

I happen to love the Nickelback song he sang, but Constantine's rendition was fingernails on a chalkboard to me. He butchered it, a horrible song choice for him.

I'm a Bo fan, can't you tell?

As for Scott, he was also at the bottom of my list, but he was only slightly above Constantine in my estimation, but not by much. I want Scott gone next.


I'm with Glow. I'm a Bo Ho.

This show has two main goals: #1 to rake in millions for Fox & #2 to entertain.
The voting situation is a joke. The major flaw is that given the chance to vote on anything half the American people will show their ignorance and biases. Throw in the factors of individuals voting multiple times and inabilities to get through to vote and you've got a system that generates results that are ridiculous.
But hey! That's entertainment! And we'll be back again in the Fall in front of the tube regardless as to whether Scott savol is the next American Idol (gag).
