And wouldn't that mean that people in Hawaii that can "power dial" have the phone lines all to themselves on voting night? What a travesty.

Think about it this way. My polls open at 9 p.m., in the Eastern time zone, it's earlier where you are, so you're not voting yet. Your polls open at 9 p.m., where I live on the east coast we're done voting. It keeps rolling across the country this way. But when you get to Hawaii, there's nobody voting with them (except maybe a few people in Alaska). I'm done at that point, and you're done voting too. Unlike other time zones, I would think Jasmine has a vast majority of support in her time zone. When I try to vote for anyone, I get a busy signal due to the volume of calls. But I bet that doesn't happen in Hawaii.

because I am done watching. This show has become a big joke and the ratings will continue to drop until someone decides a complete overhaul is needed to restore a real sense of competition among the contestants. There's no excitement this year and without some serious changes in regards to the selection process, next year will be the same way.

76. "Again, not really a surprise" |
It seemed obvious that, of the trio LaToya/Jennifer/Fantasia, only one of them could make it to the final two. So it's not really a surprise that only one of them made it to the final three. The fact that it was Fantasia who made it IS a surprise, but not a shock.However, considering this week's voting, I wouldn't say that Fantasia has a lock on making it to the finals. I've normally been a LaToya voter, but I voted for Diana this week (hey, I vote based on weekly performance, and Diana was the best). Right now, though, I'm planning to vote for Jasmine all the way! Then maybe she and William Hung can have a head-to-head face-off. I wouldn't want to place odds on that one, either.

"THIS SHOW IS RACIST" "THIS SHOW IS RIGGED" I refuse to watch it any longer, I do not care who wins anymore. Diana sang well as did Latoya and Fantasia, but Jasmine did not sound anywhere near the other contestants. I think that this is Tamyra Gray all over again. I wish and pray that Fantasia would just drop out of the competition and let the show go strait to HELL. If I sound bitter, it is because this was not at all FAIR. From a former fan.

87. "Bad for American Idol... Good for LaToya" |
The American Idol program just committed suicide.Tonight's elimination shredded any last bit of credibilty this pathetic pandering franchise ever had. The whole thing is permanently and unredeemingly exposed as a sham that does not, and will not ever, reward the best talent. After Camille Velasco, John Stevens and now Jasmine Trias, the voting process is a laughing stock across the continent. Mark my words, this is the moment when American Idol enters the lexicon as a national joke. They might just as well have kept William Hung so we could all get a good laugh at his expense. I'm sure the judges are checking their contracts for an escape clause, for even these attention whores won't want further association with such a disaster. Of course, they probably won't need those escape clauses, because the whole thing just went into the toilet. If they bring this show back at all it will never be seen as anything more than America's Drama Club Audition. BUT... Good news for LaToya London. She proved herself to be talented, mature and perhaps even more marketable. She will not win the sham title, which is destined to hang like a noose around the neck of the winner.Best of all, she will not have to sign a contract with 19 Entertainment, the morons behind this whole crapfest. LaToya instead can sign any recording contract she chooses. she can pick a producer, pick songs, WRITE songs, and get her album to market sooner than the winner. In fact, she's probably looking at HER contract to see if she is required to appear with this jinxed tour to oblivion. I'm sure that as I write this, other agents and record companies are clawing over each other to get to LaToya. She will be forever seen as the supertalented victim in the tragedy that has become American Idol. These reality show contestants need a reality check!

102. "Agree" |
Let's be serious: Idol 1 was seen as a competition between Kelly and Tamyra -- Tamyra got the boot at #4, with Nikki (OK) and Justin (ugh) going on.Idol 2 did much better, with the only "fluke" being Joshua's survival to #4. The three considered the best were the final 3. Idol 3, though, is a replay of Idol 1 so far. Right now, we have Fantasia, who had a bad night but is a very good singer, Diana, who had a great night and may turn out to be better than we expected a few weeks ago, and Jasmine (ugh). A Fantasia victory would be great with the producers. A Diana victory would be OK, because she really has improved a great deal during the show, though she'd probably spend some time with a personal trainer before going on the road! Only a Jasmine victory would be a disaster. VOTE JASMINE!

VOTE JASMINE!Finally, someone who has a sense of humor, and doesn't take this stoopid show so seriously! LaToya was the best one there, IMO, but she still is no Clay, as I was reminded tonight. She's better off without this title, and she'll be just fine. The judges were clearly gunning for a Jasmine boot last night, and they're paying for the backlash once again. When will they learn? I can't even take credit for Jasmine staying in this week. I only voted a handful of times, and I gave votes to everyone but Fantasia, who I thought had the worst song of the night. I'll go on record now that Fantasia will win. She'll pick up all of LaToya's votes, and Jasmine and Diana will now split the other votes. I fully expect Fantasia to shout out to LaToya next week, just to make sure she courts the votes. What a phoney! Talk about pathetic tears. All the crazy voting has saved this season. The talent has ALL been below previous seasons, and they needed something else to generate ratings.

105. "RE: Bad for American Idol... Good for LaToya" |
I haven't watched AI prior to this season, so I have little reference to turn to regarding voting trends and successes/losses in the past. All I know is what I have seen this season, which was a parade of 8-10 losers filling up space on the stage for 2-4 winners to shine. My suspicions are the same tonight as they were when Jennifer was booted a few weeks ago, which basically takes me back to the statistics courses most of us had to take in school. Call it what you will -- split diva vote, complacency of Latoya fans who expected her to win the whole deal, sympathy for a single tear that was so overplayed both last night and tonight, demographics and geographics, etc, etc -- what matters is that the best singer is not going to win this competition. Now, with that said, I have never bought an American Idol CD and would never go to an American Idol concert. HOWEVER, I must say that if Jennifer, Latoya and Fantasia released a CD together I would scoop it up in a New York second. The problem is that noone in American Idol-land cares what I think because I don't vote, I don't buy the CDs, I don't go to the concerts, and I don't intend to buy one of those cheesy t-shirts highlighted tonight. As much as Paula may have been sobbing tonight for her little star, the producers must be laughing their way to the bank. After Jennifer's ouster, they had a record number of votes the following week in reaction to the HUGE publicity the show got. Even Elton John got into it on the morning news shows. IMAGINE what the reactions will be this week -- and the money this show will make. American Idol going down the toilet? Hardly. This is just what the show needed for their PAYING audience.

You don't like my "down the toilet'? You argue that people will vote like crazy next week. That may be so. But the same 100,000 people voting 300 times does not make an audience. Fantasiacs will vote, Diana's fans will vote, Jasmine's fans will vote, and LaToya's fans will vote, most likely for Fantasia. But beyond this pathetic season, the show has been revealed as a pretense, and has irretrivably lost its luster. Let me rephrase: It is a parody of its own potential. It may continue to draw viewers, and voters, but the discerning audience just got on the bus. It no longer has any meaning. It is done as a phenomenon. American Idol has jumped the shark.

143. "RE: The guest judge phenomenon" |
Then they better get 12 finalists who can sing off-key to be able to do Dylan well! I, for one, wouldn't be interested in any of his stuff, and certainly not wanting to hear them try to sing anything from Wings. But, I came in after the Beatles explosion, and Dylan is too old for me too, so I have no attachment to any of it. Just my opinion, of course. However, I think they could have made better guest judge selections than we had this season. But, I probably won't watch next season unless the auditions are worth watching, too. We rolled on the floor laughing when Keith sang Madonna. William Hung was momentarily funny, but quickly became a sad testament to mockery, in my book. I hope the poor guy never figures out just how much they were mocking him with his supposed popularity. Even if he gets to spend the money he made doing it. The auditions to AI3 were boring, and the season hasn't been much better. I think what troubles me the most, for what it's worth, is that the general public - or at least the general media who thinks it knows the public - doesn't take AI finalists very seriously. I just read that Clay's "Solitaire" has been top on the charts for 7 weeks (may be higher now), but as far as airtime, he's around 97th or something. Letterman had Clay on, singing "Invisible", and he left him so little time to sing that he didn't get through the whole song when a commercial cut in. And where are Ruben and Kelly? What treatment will this season's idol get? Will they be interviewed about their talent or the travesty of the votes this season? So, you have this indifference to these "fabricated" Idols, and then this crazy voting and people crying that it's racist or fixed or other accusations. It doesn't help that the show is said to be losing credibility, because we would like to see our idols make it, right? But, it seems to be doing exactly that. I find that very sad. It is such a testament to how things get abused. The supposed intent of the show was to find the most talented, but it's more like popularity. Then again, Britney isn't popular because she can sing, after all!
(We gotta b*tch or we'll explode!)

I think the Producers would be ecstatic with a Jasmine win. She's young, pretty, ethnic (can't claim racism), and would provide RCA with a different type of singer to compete with the likes of Hillary Duff. Her CD would go platinum in Hawaii alone.The next two weeks are basically judges/performer's choice and then the Final song. If they want Jasmine to win, they will make sure she sounds good the next two weeks and they can use the "oh my gosh, she totally brought it the final 2 weeks" storyline to take off some of the hate. I think 19E is looking to sign 3 singers: Latoya - Self made in the adult contemporary market. Fantasia - R&B Jasmine/Diana - The pop princess. Latoya and Fantasia are gold no matter what. But Jasmine or Diana need to win it. 19E needed to break up the Fantasia/Latoya pairing now. They couldn't do it next week in case the backlash was too strong. (No one would buy a Diana CD when everyone hates her. Now they can dump Jasmine is she gets too much hatred and Diana is unscathed)

Managerr, your post makes sense, but I was watching AI with a group tonight and when they announced LaToya was going home I got out of my chair and laid myself flat out in the floor--causing several nods since everyone felt that way INSIDE. It just flattened me right out. I really, really thought Jasmine was going home tonight. I do know that any of the top 4 have a chance at a good career, but this was the last evidence I needed that America is voting with agendas. And that is giving a fair benefit of the doubt to no show manipulation. The judges looked shocked to me, and the audience booed, which almost never happens. That may be further up in the thread, haven't had time to read the whole thing yet.

LAST EDITED ON 05-13-04 AT 09:38 AM (EST)hmmm That makes a lot of sense, managerr. I have said from the beginning that even if they were voted off 11th and 12th, Latoya and Fantasia would get contracts. I'm sure tons of people think that way and don't vote for them. That being said, when they announced the bottom 2, I left the room. Edited to fix spelling. FWIW, IMHO, I would much rather see Camille than Jasmine there now.
