I am disgusted with American Idol voters
« on: May 20, 2011, 06:08:27 am »
well, they got what they wanted - a snoozefest for the finale.  It will save me from four hours of nonstop voting, that's for sure.  Scotty has been declared the winner from the start.  Lauren - while nice and sounding good - strains to sing at times and gets pitchy.  The only one who was perfect - in tune - week after week - is gone.  the only one worth voting for is gone.  So if I watch next Tuesday - big if - I will not vote.  This might be the first time "votership" numbers go down dramatically because now there is no contest.  At least with a Scotty/Haley finale it would have been interesting and one could vote for their favorite genre - but two teen country singers?  I like Scotty and Lauren and they are pleasant to listen to at times but they don't move me or knock my socks off.  Haley and James - they rock.  I watched Haley dancing while the Italian group sang - she is the only one who grooves to any music and has proven she can sing any kind - from country to rock to blues - while everything else is scaled down to the country singers.  What safer choices could the judges have given those two???  And they pick a difficult to sing song for Haley - who, by the way, was offered the songbook by Led Z. - the only other time they did that was for Adam Lambert.  They heard her sing House of the Rising Sun and were impressed. 
  So I will tune in next Wednesday to see my favorites perform once more before the tour - Haley, James...Casey...Pia....Thia.
End the suffering!  Get your cats - and all strays and ferals - spayed and neutered!

I have been disgusted with AI voters at the being of the season.  They never get it right, at least not in the last three seasons.  Cannot wait until it is over.

"American What???"  - I have never watched the show.  I do not care to see anything with "Idol" in the name.  I have a problem with naming anything an "idol," for religious reasons and also because I do not think these people are any better than anyone else.   They could call the show something else.

I agree the final show will not really interest me that much.  I do like Scotty but my pick was Casey.  I was shocked when Haley left so ... really no contest.  My husband swears he will never watch another episode  :dontknow: so .... not sure if I'll watch the last episode.  I do love the new judges.... I think it has made the show fun again.
