voting

I started this season thinking I wouldn't be voting, but found myself really liking Asia'h and David H. I voted for them until they were voted off. Now I am not voting for anyone. I really liked these two and it's a shame they left so early.

In the beginning I voted big time for David Hernandez and Asia'h Epperson as did Sandi. I also voted for Amanda Overmeyer on different weeks but not with the intensity I did for my David and Asia'h.

From the actual top 10 I only have voted for Chikezie Eze and Carly Smithson as these two were my top favorites of the 10. I do however like both of the remaining Davids but did not vote for them as I feel they have a big enough fan base to keep them on the show. Depending on how the remaining shows go I might be inclined to vote for both of the Davids.

As for your voting Mae I sort of think you have voted for Kristy. As for the others not sure at all but judging by your postings I know for a fact you have never voted for Michael Johns.

any else voting, not voting, have any thoughts on this

I'm not voting, no. I don't feel strongly about any of them as I did for Tay.

I really got into voting for David Hernandez as well as David Cook and David Archuleta. But now, even though the Davids are still two of my favorites, I've slowed down on voting. My favorites seem to be "biting the dust" one by one despite my votes.

I hear ya denib, I'm almost afraid to vote for anyone, they might be next ha.. I'm not having a lot of luck this season, first Aisa'h and then David.. Not good.

:( I feel like you denib in a way. Seems like my 100 or so votes are not counting too well for my favorites. First Asia'h, then David, now Chikezie. In the long run seems like the "favorites" like Kristy keep staying in while others are leaving. Luckily the two remaining Davids have a big fan base so hopefully one of them will win.

I personally already know whose albums I will buy and whose I won't. Does it really matter who actually wins as long as they get contracts? Some might have to wait awhile but eventually many do garner some success. After all I have been waiting to buy music from Ace Young for two years and finally this summer he is releasing an independent album which I think might actually be the way to go in the future. Unless the Davis group are promoting their artists I do not see being with them is any blessing. Look at our wonderful Taylor and others who have been shafted by this group. Pretty sad overall.

So true CC. Wow, now I can add Ace Young to my collection of music. I really liked him. Maybe going independent will shake up the music industry some when all these talented artist go out on their own. It might even be a blessing in disguise like in Taylor's situation.

You know how rumors go but there is a rumor floating around that Taylor is connecting with an award winning song writer to put some music together. IF it's true that would be fantastic. Like I said though, you know how rumors are...not always truthful.

Hey Denib, you liked Ace? I have a DVD of all his performances if you'd like it. I bought one of all Taylors and the gal that made them sent one of Ace as well, I liked Ace but of course was not my favorite and I know I'll never watch this, If you're interested just let me know ok. It's yours

Oh I'd so love to see Taylor come out with a CD that would make AI and J Records so mad at them selfs for letting what we already know is a good thing go. It would be so so great. I've also heard a rumor sometime back that Taylor and Chris were talking as well about Taylors sophmore Cd, again just a rumor but I guess it might not be all bad, regardless of if we like or don't like Chris, His self written songs are not bad and some ever pretty good, Ok don't throw rotten eggs at me or anything ok.. :)

so who did you vote for tonight?? or did you even bother voting??

i take it you are talking about Chris Daughtry here.
if it was Chris Sligh that would be so too kool. He is so talented and like Taylor so under-rated.

I voted for Brooke! Castro! and Kristy! yes shoot me now if you like but the best performances were Brooke, then Castro, then Archie. I don't have to vote for archie though, and I only voted for kristy a few times figuring she'd need the votes. She does pretty well with country though doesn't do well at all with Beatles. Not her style at all. I do hope Carly or Ramiele goes. Only one of Carly's have I ever thought was okay(the rest I thought were pretty bad IMO) And ramy seemed to be on a downward spiral 'til this week but I think most everyone(excluding Carly & Syesha here) did pretty well. Next week is Idol Gives Back and If I had to pick one to leave now I wouldn't I'd get rid of Ramy, Carly, and Syesha. Okay everyone I'm done you can point your guns and shoot now. Oh wait I have two more things to say before you shoot me. With my last breaths I would like to say....

Vote For JOLENE! wait that came out wrong VOTE FOR BROOKE!!!!!!

I liked Ace myself - I bet that's a great DVD any fan would love to have in their collection. *sigh* Sadly, I don't even have Tay's performances that way.....

On this country week all my votes went to Carly who I thought did an excellent job with "Here You Come Again". I did not like the outfit but once again have to say Carly is an awesome singer. I also felt both Davids and Michael Johns gave very good performances but did not think I needed to vote for them as all have big fan bases.

Who's leaving? My vote goes to Jason or Ramiele.

Hey I have Taylors performances too ALL TAYLOR that's it on the DVD I can ask my daughter to make a copy for you if you'd like, I can also have her make a copy of Ace's if you'd like one, Just let me know.


I voted for Jason last night, Sorry geewindu, Brooke is not a favorite of mine and to me everything she sings sounds the same, David H was my favorite as you all know but thought I'd throw Jason a few votes to give him a boost and was asked to do so by a friend or I wouldn't have voted at all.

denib and tygrilllie let me know about the DVD's and I'll get them for you ok.

I hope you are wrong CC about Jason, I have a friend that would be crushed big time if he left, But if he does at least they'll be able to see him on the tour right, sure wish I could say the same for David H

I haven't heard anything about Taylor being on the show at all, but all things are possible right? It would be nice if they showed a little interest in him in some way, there are so many of the season 5 idols on this season that it's not very nice that they don't have Taylor as well.

Don't think the sign in to AI would work, This show depends on the Money they get for the votes along with the advertising so that would be out,.

They do not want it revieled who gets the most votes by what percentage, no way they could "make it work for them that way"

I think the voting is what it is and we'll have to live with it as is, I can not see AI changing their bread and butter for bread and catchup any time soon...JMO

third - vote for your worse - vote for the people you want to send home the most and not for the one you like the best. A reverse voting if you will.

This one is especially bad as it encourages people to vote for who they think will beat there favorite and encourage people to be mean. It would leave all the boring people in the finale. Nope this is the one thing they should never do. There's already a ton of people out there that actually hate these contestants why fuel their rage?

the code could actually be your users name - i don't know just a thought
