PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"American Idol is Rigged?" |
There seems to be a lot of debate as to whether or not this contest is being manipulated by the producers of the show. I stand firm behind my convictions that there is no way the actual voting results are being changed or manipulated by the producers, but I was just curious as to what the majority of the posters on this site believe. As the weeks go on and we get closer and closer to crowning the next "American Idol," do you think the producers are rigging the votes this year?

I disagree What makes this show popular is the voting. A lot of morons and idiots buy CDs too. I won’t be buying this trash. But I love to watch the show and the reactions. I question the credentials of the "Professionals” in the show anyway. Paula is an expert at choreographing not singing. I am not saying she was a bad singer. Dancing, sex and cuteness sold her songs. Voice scan be enhanced when recording you know. Look at Hillary Duff. Simon he is an executive in England, (Not a talent scout) A pretty ruthless one from what I hear. He has ruined more talent then developed it according to my friends in England. They are glad he is here. And who the heck is Randy Jackson? Look him up he is a nobody. Remember these were the people who told us that screaming like a cat (Jennifer Hudson) was good singing. Still people are too stubborn to admit that is was a scam and people continue saying she is talented. LOL This will make history, she might even get a recording contract out of the deal. Then all her fans will be able to get that CD cheap in the $1.99 bin in Kmart. Lol That is going to be so funny. It is TV entertainment, if people like it they will watch it if not they will change the channel with the remote. There are other shows with so called Professionals. Stay tuned it is going be more fun as this show finishes.

LAST EDITED ON 05-16-04 AT 11:54 AM (EST)No. If they were, the better singers would still be here, and Jasmine would be gone. That would allow for a nail biting finale like last year's between Ruben and Clay. The judges made it obvious they did not want Jasmine in the finals. As Simon is always saying, "When you let America vote, you get America's choice." Agreed - except I'm not convinced a majority of Americans want Jasmine in the finals. I think it's more of an unlimited right to vote for your favorite. Jasmine may have more dedicated fans that vote endlessly. Good for her and good for them. Bad for AI. Record sales will tell the real story. I doubt her individual fans will buy more than one copy each of her CD when it comes out. Our own front page news on Reality TV World says, " 'American Idol 3' CD sells only 55% of 'Idol 2' units in debut but places #10." That says something is wrong with this season: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=2542 We won't need to watch WB's new Superstar USA. We've already had the experience.

I am almost positive that the show results are not rigged. It would be very hard to keep it from coming out to the public if the shows results were manipulated in any way. The show does very well in the ratings, it is Fox's highest rated show. Why would they take the chance of harmfing their most successful show, by rigging the votes.Anyway what is gained by removing a consensus judge's favorite, La Toya, from the show. Remember this is a popularity contest and the contestant with the most hard core fans (those that will spend two hours hitting redial for their choice to win) will do the best. This is especially true when it takes some effort to get votes counted, ie. there are many busy signals where votes are not counted.
