American Idol Season 11

There's a reason why it's called "American" Idol... Because it's only for Americans.. So non-Americans, 2nd place is always the best place that you can get..

So Jessica is not American even though she was born and raise in the US? how do you define an "American"? by color?

anah jd ng show...you can receive nice reviews from the judges as if luto daan na.
but then the contest or winner is based on text votes...unluckily Jessica doesn't have that big impact to the audience.
coz of her being shy type...she may have a great voice...but Philip has great looks & great voices...he capture all sorts of audience/crowd...young,teens,mid-range to oldies....he knows how to play the crowd that well..kw by kindatan og eyes di baka malanay..with matching flying kiss and sweet look...natural dayon og vote sa mga girls ni Philip.

while Jessica does only have her neighbors,relatives,family,friends and a little bit of fans to vote for her....while Philip almost got all the hearts of the girls.

You don't have too be too serious because it was intended as a pun <if you didn't get the point of the statement>

AMERICAN IDOL RIGGED! VOTES COUNTED ON DIEBOLD HARDWARE.
by Colleen Smith, staff reporter

Election scandal has come to America's favorite reality show. Fans have suspected that something was amiss since Ruben Studdard, and now the cat is out of the bag. The most popular singers have not been winning. The voices of voters across this great land have not been heard. Accusations of Paula Abdul having an affair with a contestant, and Simon Cowell kicking puppies are insignificant compared to this. I spoke to an insider at Diebold whom I will refer to as "Woody". He says that the RIAA are the real snake in the grass here. The whole point of the show is to sell records, and the executives of the record labels allegedly know better than the viewing public what they can sell. They run the show behind the scenes, and contracted with Diebold to tabulate the votes as they saw fit. As Joseph Stalin said, those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.

An independent audit was done of actual phone logs the nights of the shows. In season three, Latoya London had gotten the most calls each week, but Diebold machines declared her a loser in one of the late elimination rounds. Based on phone logs however, there is no way that Fantasia was the most popular. Leah LaBelle was also ousted before her fans stopped calling.

Season four also showed wide discrepancies between phone logs and official tallies. Carrie Underwood should have been voted off a considerable time before the finals, yet was ultimately declared the winner in spite of Bo Bice lighting up switchboards on a consistent basis.

I sought out comment from the first, and only confirmed legitimate winner of the contest, Kelly Clarkson. She refused to speak to me, but I cannot help but suspect she learned of this sham long before I did, and that is why she has refused to allow current contestants to perform her songs. She did not even thank the show in her acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards.

Can season five be saved, or is another phony champion going to be pushed on America by Diebold and the RIAA? Perhaps the American people can still make a difference. Call Fox Television and let them know that you won't stand for this. The very institution of reality television is at stake. Call them today!
