Can America really be voting this way, or is it fixed? I don't know what's going on, but it is soooooooooooooooooooo wrong. I feel that Jennifer was at least number three. I used to like Geeorge and Jennifer about the same, but his performance this week wasn't so good. I thought Fantasia was the best, with LaToya coming in a close second. Now I feel that it depends on what songs they sing. Sometimes LaTaoya sounds better than Fantasia to me, but they are both great. How could those three be at the bottom of the votes????????? I guess those of us who don't actually vote, shouldn't complain, but honestly, can those who are voting be that messed up????????
hmm...i don't think it's fixed.
anyways honestly, i'm not shocked with the results, and i don't see why the judges would be either.
this show is made...basically for young teenagers.
most young teenages go for the image. not the talent. i mean...this has happened several years, where the people with the most talent were voted off. for example, if it was only based on talent, kelly clarkson shouldn't have won that first year.
anyways...it sucks for those with real talent. but...that's how america's kids voted.
also, you all have to remember that AI isn't the only chance for these people. if they have great talent, and they're willing to work after leaving AI, you'll be hearing from them soon. also, winning AI doesn't mean that they'll go far either. it's a easy stepping stone...but it's no big deal.
for some of these people, especially for those wanting to target an adult audience, it's best that they get a record deal another way. AI is made for teens. and so the winners...well...may be molded to fit the teen audience also.
...that isn't always the best thing for people like latoya and fantasia.
i think they're too good to be molded into some poppy star.
