Did anyone else catch the big oops on American Idol last week?

When the producers put together the re-cap at the end with the phone numbers, they use the footage from the dress rehearsal NOT their live performance.  The reason being that they don't have enought time to put everyone's live performance in.  The last person's performance [in this case, Elliot] wouldn't have gotten into it in time.  So to make it fair, they use all of their dress rehearsal performances instead.  Sometimes it is obvious that they are different performances.  It happened when Melissa performed and she forgot her lyrics in her live performance and then in the re-cap she "suddenly" remembered them...LOL

I was shocked that the 2 people favored to win, Chris and Kat, were the two with the lowest votes. I didn't think either of them deserved to go home, although Kat was labeled as the poorest of the performers this week. This was the shocker like 2 seasons ago when the best 3 people were all in the bottom 3 at the same time and the best of the year went home...Fantasia was not the best that year. Unfortunately, Chris Daughtry went home today and Kat will follow if she doesn't get back to her regular singing capabilities. I think this week was a definite disadvantage for both Chris and Kat and a big bonus for Taylor. I have no idea why they pulled this kind of theme out at this point in the competition. It should have been when there were 8 or more singers left. Taylor would probably be gone if he hadn't had the advantage this week..it was his kind of music.

I love it did you see the one where she kept saying no deal to the high offers and the she accepted a low offer when she had the 1 million dollars in her case I thought that one was hilarious although i do LOVE AMERICAN IDOL!

I missed Katherine and Elliott, But Kellie was horrible and the judges really give it to her..Chris had the best performance and Taylor was second, in my opinion.

Part of the problem could be attributed to their fans, in combination with the dressing room rhetoric which reportedly went downhill during the finals of American Idol.  Split the dressing room right down the middle.  Wade Redden stopped talking altogether when Chris Daughtry was voted off.  Chara said he'd eat anyone who called in and voted for Tyler.  Alfredson still hasn't played at the same level since Clay Aiken, who he likens himself to, lost 3 years ago.  A sad state of affairs indeed.

I agree with Kevin. Meatloaf and Toni seemed like they were heavily medicated. Meatloaf just butchered the song period. I think his appearance on American Idol last night will really hurt sales of his new album. In regards to Toni Braxton, that was just an awkward and really bad performance on her part.

I definitely believe it's rigged. Please read this for the evidence and why I think this..I am 100% convinced it is rigged.\n\nAlso there were similar problems with the phone lines last year.\n\nIn fact, I copied all the evidence that slipped through on last year's website and sent it to Scott Savol and his family who I meet. \n\nAlthough I don't remember it all, one thing was the night before the final..(the day the last two finalist sang) they showed a clip that summarized the show..then they briefly flashed all the final 12..they were in order from the first voted off to the last and Bo was the 11th flashed and Kerry (sp?) Underwood the last night before "we" voted showing someone at idol knew she would win..\n\nThey did the same thing on a previous show..had them all sitting next to each other (I think it was week 5 or 6 ) and they had them all in order of them when they were voted off..this showed Scott leaving in the week he eventually left in (in fact all of them) as the 5th place (7th voted off) before he was voted off and right after what Simon said was his best week..again someone knew..several others were kept after their worse week or left after their best week and comments---though others were much worse that particular week. \n\nThe albums in the last 4 seasons released a list of songs before they were voted off and the songs on the preview list had the singers listed in the order they subsequently were voted off (although they changed the song order last season in some of the cds after it was discussed on line..(they have changed the online website to minimize this happening again by changing the format).\n\nThey banned people reopeatedly for listing information and deleted their threads and/or words...even the words fixed are banned from the site. I personally went way back into the threads once and found a thread with a list of the songs put out three weeks previously..it had them in the order that they were subsequently voted out..Anthony then Scott etc. I was stunned and I answered the old thread "OMG--look at the date this was posted. and it shows people being voted off in the exact order they eventually were three weeks before it happened. This bumped the post to the top and it was on they..within a few minutes (the moderator apparently read it) the entire thread was gone (but luckily I had copied it and others and sent them all to \nScott Savol) and I was banned from the site. Each time I tried to get on and post evidence, they promptly banned me even though I used different names and email addresses. It was the evidence they didn't want posted as it would cut into their profits if people knew the show was fake.\n\nCarrie was also prominently feautured in the CD (which came out before te show was over)as one of the few people wearing colored clothes in the left corner (we read left to right)...again suggesting someone knew she'd win and they wanted er prominently featured.\n\nAlso an online paper in England honoring one of the producers with an award..mentioned in te text..American's idols winner Carrie Underwood a full 2 days before she was the winner. It turned out the reporter messed up and thre article was not supposed to be printed until after the final results were announced. Several people printed the link to this paper with the paper's date verified on it and I also copied this and sent to Scott. I hope he shared it with his friends on idol during or after the tour.\n\nI think there was more stuff as well and it all convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubtthat American idol is rigged..\n\nI never waste time calling now (and they are stealing money with their deal with cinular wireless) when people pay to vote with text messaging if it is rigged. \n\nI vowed no matter how much I like a singer or singers I will never buy a cd if the person is under contract with American Idol and if idol also benefits. I think the show--like fox's other reality shows are

I thought the two teams up for elimination should have been eliminated if not in whole then at least in part. Two people made accusations that they would not back up. Mia was one of them. The pastry chef upset me because last week she was complaining about honesty and then she did not say anything about Mia to Betty. that was wrong. Now it looks to Betty like that guy turned her in. Of course, I was wondering why Betty lied to the Judges when they asked whose idea the pizza was. They had her on tape in the grocery store suggesting it to the guys. I think she was afraid to win for a third week but lets face it she did. Like I said mia and the guy talking about squeeze bottles should have been kicked out for not being willing to back up their allegations when the judges went to the chefs for answers. Betty screwed up but she made no attempt to hide it. She also forgot to mention that she used one less egg white. I would like to know what would happen to the numbers given the missing spenda and egg white and the added sugar. Would they have been under budget? I also think Mike should have been kicked out. His food stinks and his attitude stinks also.

OMG! I forgot it started! I thought Chris Young was on American Idol, anyway....

Chris is gone. But you know he will get a recording contract, so I don't really feel sorry for him. He got the exposure he needed. You know, the decision is based on the public votes, so evidently more people voted for the others...   that's the way it works. Tayor and Elliott really cranked it up this week. ....

Yea, yea.. It's all done but I still got to throw in my few cents. I'm glad Taylor won, if Kat would've won, hm-mm.. I think I would have gone postal and shot my t.v. I was 100% for Chris and when he got voted off, I stopped watching, they said his fans didn't care, that was crap, I alone called over 300 x the night before he got kicked. Chris was the better out all the American Idols ever and he was bigger then the AI show it's self and they couldn't handle that and so they made up there minds he had to go. In the end ALL REALITY SHOWS, regardless of who votes, it's the producers that decides who stays and who goes for the better ratings. I started to watch the auditions and me and my kids fell in love w/ Chris and from here on out, I won't even take the time for the auditions.. : (\n\nOK, so y'all got a few dollars worth.. lol

I was voting Chris to go all the way and then look what happened last week.  Kat should of went.  So that leaves Taylor and Elloit.  I like Taylor but too me he is more of a performer.  So i guess that leaves me to hope Elloit goes all the way.  He is the one that has improved since day one.
