aifan2006 25 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 05-12-06, 09:34 AM (EST) "You have to vote or don't cry" I spent the entire day watching news shows with people crying over Chris being booted off, Chris was on Jay Leno last night and when the audience booed Chris's being voted off Leno said well don't you have phones, did you vote? That is exactly right, if all these people who are so unhappy over Chris's departure actually picked up the phone and voted maybe he would still be on the show today. If you did'nt vote you don't have a right to complain. It seems to me to many people watch the show, they have their favorite, but when the show is over they turn off the show and watch something else, they figure somebody else will spend their time voting, when to many fans do that that is why their favorite get eliminated. Every year their are favorite eliminated from the show because their fans were to complacent to vote. Even Chris said if you did'nt vote, don't complain. Obviously Katherines fans were more determined to see her advance then Chris's were Tuesday night even though it was obvious Chris was going to be in the bottom two with Katherine. American Idol is the most democratic show on television, the person with the least votes leaves, it does'nt get more democratic then that does it?   Top

"RE: You have to vote or don't cry" And Paula with her "see you in the finals" did not help. People just assumed he'd be safe and voted like mad for Elliott so he'd be in over Kat and Kat fans voted like crazy so she'd get a spot over Elliott. JMO.   Top

"RE: You have to vote or don't cry" That may be true, but it does not explain why Taylor always seems to be the highest vote getter or close to the highest. He seemed clearly safe, yet his fans voted for him like crazy. Slice & Dice Sigpic Chop Shop 2005   Top

"RE: You have to vote or don't cry" Taylor has a very consistant fan base that KNOWS they have to vote to keep him in the running. It also helps that Taylor has stepped up his game and brought it with both barrels firing the last 2-3 weeks. Taylor's fanbase voted more than Chris'. Elliot's fanbase voted more than Chris'. Kat's fanbase voted more than Chris'. End of story. geekboy   Top

prosecutor 449 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 05-12-06, 02:51 PM (EST) 4. "RE: You have to vote or don't cry" Remember when Simon said that Kevin Covais' fanbase was the senior citizen. Well maybe it's Taylors fanbase and that's why they are not dumb enough to assume he is safe and keep voting for him.   Top

sylvester 555 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 05-13-06, 01:43 PM (EST) 9. "RE: You have to vote or don't cry" I think Taylor & Elliott & Kat were also more likely to pick up votes from average viewers. Chris was not. The difference in who stays and who goes is decided by the average viewer, not internet fans. The millions of people that enjoy the show and vote once or twice a week for either their favorite or who they think was the best that night. In hindsight I think it should have been obvious that Chris was in potential trouble last week. If he had great performances he might have squeaked by, but he had 2 lackluster performances with his ego obviously in tow. Sunglasses? Gimme a break.   Top

"RE: You have to vote or don't cry" But everytime I go to phone in my vote, I get distracted and have to hang up right away becuase my phone smells like cheese. I bet it is a more common problem than most think.   Top

Reality_Tv_fan_90 75 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 05-13-06, 10:23 AM (EST) 8. "RE: You have to vote or don't cry" I agree that voting may be a more common problem than most people think. The lines are ALWAYS busy. Especially now that there are so few contestants left. I'm not saying its impossible but its harder than alot of people think.   Top

"RE: You have to vote or don't cry" I know lots of people who tried to call and vote for Chris, and like me, wasnt able to get through to either of the 2 lines...I think a recount is called for....Anyone with any sense knows Chris is the American Idol.   Top

"RE: You have to vote or don't cry" LAST EDITED ON 05-15-06 AT 01:23 AM (EST) "I know lots of people who tried to call and vote for Chris, and like me, wasnt able to get through to either of the 2 lines..." I know lots of people that tried to vote for the other contestants and weren't able to get through on either of the 2 lines also. "I think a recount is called for...." Why? Because you didn't like the outcome? "Anyone with any sense knows Chris is the American Idol." Apparently 75% or more of last week's voters disagree with you.   Top
