I too thought about not watching this show anymore. I even told my boyfriend that I wanted to write a letter to the producers of this show. I doubt that it will do any good but their current voting system is all wrong,especially when you have websites like votefortheworst.com. It just not right. I liked Gina although she is not my favorite.I think she sang much better than Haley and Phil. And I still think Sanjaya should have went home weeks ago.

Maybe we all should write letters to the show about their voting system having lots of faults. I hope that American Idol sues that website and Howard Stern for sabotaging their show. I am not sure if they can do it or win but they should. The judges either need to decide who leaves or they need to limit the calls per household to one to make it fair.

Yes, I just don't get it. It is votefortheworst and howard stern that is steering the show in the wrong direction but even last year I thought some of the results were pretty faulty. I always say I am going to write letter too, but never do, ahhh

Okay, I am not trying to go against what everyone is saying but I do have a question. Yes I totatly agree that Gina should not have gone home and Sanjaya should have left a long time ago. But I have no room to get angry or upset over the fact because I did not vote. So here is the question. Did you vote? I was raised that unless you voted, you have no reason to complain. If you want different results than you got to pick up the phone and vote. It just really gets to me when people start complaining about people and things when they did not even bother to vote!!! If you did vote then please do not be upset at my response this is not aimed at you. But if you did not bother to vote then shame on you!

Well I hope you are not upset at what I have said. If you or your husband voted than my comments were not pointed at you. That is one of the reasons I quit voting for American Idol because it has gotten rediculus. I hardly even watch it anymore. Plus on Tuesdays I would rather watch Dancing with the Stars. Even though thier voting is not much better, but at least they limit the voting to a certain number per phone line.

yes, its smart to limit it to a certain number (i think even one call per house is fair) of votes. I am glad he voted otherwise I would have been upset with myself. We never both vote though, just one of us votes for the house.

Well I didn't vote my husband did the voting! He did vote for Gina actually, I fell asleep right before the end (thank you DVR!) And he actually did it on his own, thank goodness. LOL. I did tell him he obviously didn't vote enough ;)

I was going to post about this myself and was shocked and disappointed by what happened. Gina was much better than those two and she is much better than Sanjaya as well. I am irritated and am considering not watching the show anymore after this season. America votes for people for the wrong reasons. I have no idea how Phil managed to stay or Haley. They really need to change the voting system.

True.
If anything they should let the audience vote. Or make it so there's only one vote per phone number.

ooh that's a good point about the one vote per household! that would at least help and make it seem a little more fair!

I said the same thing to my husband, I told him i'm not watching anymore now, which is untrue, because now that I started I have to finish out the season but I am highly irritated. I agree they need to change the voting system, it's obviously faulty!

I agree. Phil was the worst this week. Haley has been consistently OK, but nothing better. Sanjaya shouldn't have even made top 12, and Gina has been rocking it the past couple of weeks.. I can't believe it. BOOO.

Yeah, I agree. Haley is only ok! and Sanjaya is just bad! I liked when Gina did you never call me when your sober. that was rocking! At least she was willing to try newer stuff. And Sanjaya singing waiting on the world to change just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

yeah i can't believe she was the one to go! What a bunch of crap! The show is going downhill, i'm not pleased.

I am not pleased either! I think its unthinkable she went home when some of the others stayed! Sure she wasn't the best on the show but she was likeable and had a good voice, unlike some others!

I think it stinks. It is a shame the way the show is going. It is not a singing competition anymore. I don't know if I'll watch next year, it is getting so out of hand.

Last night I predicted we would have a female win this season. Instead, I think this could be the last season for American Idol. The voting has gone out of control (100 votes per phone???). They either need to change their voting process or give up the game.
Unfortunately, I don't believe we Canadians are able to vote for American Idol (I DO vote on Canadian Idol) but I do have my favourite to win. I'm not saying anything in case it sways some voting from the nutjobs who are voting for the worst.

OMG really?! Why oh why? I thought Gina did very well =( That's sad. And as usual I can't fathom until now why the hell Sanjaya's still in the race. I'm beginning to get so disappointed with this show!

As stated before---
The only reason he's still here is because of little girls, Vote for The Worst, and Howard Stern.

I absolutely agree that Gina should not have gone. Haley definitely should have gone before her, but Sanjaya should have gone long before both of them. I couldn't believe it when I saw that it was her that was leaving.

Well, I did make a post on this, mostly about the voting process. I am disgusted by the whole thing!
If you want to see who is the "cutest" boy according to 12 year old girls, then have a separate contest. These are people trying to make it in the business and good talent is being voted off due to hormones and a website calling for unfair voting.

Like I said in some other discussion, I don't think it matters of who among the "better singers" than Sanjaya went home first, the point is, they're really not going to win. Yes, Gina is better than Phil or Haley but could she ever compete against Lakisha and Melinda in the finals? Let's face it, even if she stayed she will eventually be voted off. The same goes for Phil, Haley and Sanjaya. It would only be a matter of time that they would get voted off. What would really shock the bejesus out of me is IF it's either Melinda or Lakisha that gets voted off coz let's face it, they are the ones slated to go head on in the finals. Now if THAT happens then I would say that there's really something TRULY wrong with America. ;)

I loved Gina on the show. I didn't expect her to win, but I did expect her to make the top five. Winning this show is meaningless if you can't make a good record. That's why Fantasia, Ruben, and Taylor are failures while Clay Aiken and Chris Daughtry are selling albums like crazy. Hopefully Gina will still get an album out soon. Typically a singer needs to make the top five to get a good contract.

Really? I don't really think you have to make the top 5 to make a good contract. Honestly, I really liked Gina too. She has spunk. If they've noticed you on the show, be it on the auditions, top 24, top 12 or top 5 they would offer you a good record contract regardless of when you were eliminated. I mean, even the producers will predict that Sanjaya will make it to the top 5 but would he get a good recording deal? Jasmine Trias made it to the top 3 but didn't get anywhere. As long as a contestant has proven something or made a mark, even if they got booted off early, they would get a good record deal.

I too am totally shocked that Phil stayed and Gina got dumped!! Just sat looking at the TV with my mouth open. Phil has been pretty boring! Gina was GREAT! Who the heck voted her off? Shake your heads people!

yes i agree about the wrong people going home last year too. And look at the song they play when they are voted off, its a Chris Daughtry song, and he didn't even win!

You are not the only one irritated!! I was so mad at those results! Now I don't think Phil is that bad, I think he can really do well for the voice he does have but he only sings well singing certain songs. I just do not understand the whole Haley think anymore either, she has an informercial voice not an american idol voice. It's just so sad she's starting to look like Sanjaya now, just staying for the looks or I don't know, I have no idea what america is thinking anymore. I said in another post I think she just has alot of "hot and bothered" boys and men voting for her I guess, who knows? It's just getting more and more disappointing...

I was really pulling for Gina. She just has a sweetness about her. The worst ones are definitely not the ones going home lately. Gina and Jordin were my faves. I guess now I'll have to pull for Jordin. If Sanjaya wins, it is going to be a disaster waiting to happen with his album release.
