OK,  should it bother us that there were over 47 and a half MILLION votes for the American Idol this week?

It bothers the heck out of ME, and I think it says a lot about our priorities as a society, and makes me very sad.

Dont know if his votes were transfered to someone else but something just did not feel right aobut the whole thing last night. Everyone, including Kathrine looked to surprised for it to have been what it was supposed to have been the outcome of the voting

Absolutely.\n\nTo the ignorant one below me:  Yes he got more votes because the US population is always increasing.  More people are voting in general.  Hello??

hahaha...true, true. america has lost its music taste...or maybe Idol is rigged. maybe the crew gets to make the decision, not america. who knows? but I think that we will hear from chris again. no, scratch that-I KNOW that we will be hearing from chris again. and he WILL get far, I just know it ;)

I think it's still still under investigation about her voting twice.\n\nI'm sorry so many people responded to some other question, not to yours. lol. Yes, voting is an American right, Voting twice is definitely NOT, whether you're a crazy pundit or not.

It would appear that way. At least the House of Representatives got it right - let's hope the Senate realizes how pissed off the American voters are, and change their tune. It's time for a Senate overhaul!

I think the show is rigged right from the start they know who they want in the final and all the drama of "Oh my god they should not have gone" is hype to make people watch it now last night Kate Thorton "please save my job" said highest number of votes tonight one million now excuse me but this show is suppose to rack in an eight milion audience every week!\nI think it is the final they do not rig as Simon will want to work with who ever they put there anyway.\nI actualy felt Nikkita gave her parting speech when she first sang last night strange that.\nSimon is an intelligent business man and will not put one million in the hands of someone he thought would not at least get his return back on.So yes of course it is rigged and I think there is going to be a wild card and Ashley will be back!

Actually more people probably care more about the President, than they do about the next Idol.The difference is you can only cast 1 vote for president,and you can cast as many votes for an Idol as you wish(unlimited).Which of course explains why they have figures like 64 million votes on Idol.Less people voting casting innumerable votes per individual as opposed to more people voting for president but limited to one vote.

I think it should be a certain amount of votes per phone number, like 5 or 10. That way, if people in the same household have different opinions they can all have a vote. Although it's easier said than done, I don't think AI will ever change the voting process.

American Idol's 5th season is now down to it's second to last week and only three finalists are left! On Tuesday, for the first time this season, the finalists will sing three songs each: one of their choice, one chosen by the Judges and one chosen by legendary music producer Clive Davis. Don't miss a note Tuesday, starting at 8/7c. Then, come back Wednesday for a special 1-hour results show, featuring Clive Davis, starting at 9/8c. Only on FOX!\n\nI was SHOCKED also!  I thought the final 2 would come down to Chris & Taylor.  In the hopes of Taylor winning, but Chris is very good also (much better than Elliott or Kat in my opinion.)  Although Im pulling for Taylor I could not believe he was voted off especially befor Elliott!

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

No, I think it's more exposing the stupidity and shallowness of most American people. OK, at least SOME.\n\n(Meaning many people who know about Idol and vote don't even know who their state representatives even are, much less voted to elect them)

Wow, that's exactly what I was thinking. American Idol has to be rigged. Chris has too many fans. Look how many people are mad. He was the best one there. Katherine should have gone. I'm really upset. I hope he gets some kind of record deal anyway. He was amazing.

It wasn't me! I voted 173 times by phone and dial idol got through 31 times. I am so NOT HAPPY! Chris was and STILL is the MAN. Chris WILL be a BIGGER STAR than whoever ends up winning. He will sell more albums and make more money too. This, being voted out, may not be a bad thing for Chris. He will not be under a contract with American Idol when he makes his album and will pocket more money than the actual winner will. CHRIS ROCKS!!!!!

I 100% AGREE WITH YOU!!!!! i am SO MAD that mandisa got voted off last night. ace is not even good looking, he scares me the way he doesn't even look like he is there... and bucky... ACE AND BUCKY ARE SUCKY!! that is my new saying. i agree, elliot and paris did very well on monday, i thought, and even thought bucky did do well, i predict especially him & ace & kellie will have a VERY hard time w/ queen music next week. i am wondering if votefortheworst.com really has that many people on it or if we just don't vote anymore or what... \n---i also agree that people need to remember that this is a singing competition...ace thinks it is a modeling competition, kellie thinks it is a miss personality competition, and bucky does not deserve to be there anymore at all... i think we need to get our selves set straight before next week so we dont vote chris off or something else stupid of that sort...

I think Chris's time was coming.  He's an amazing singer and he'll have a career no matter what but I was getting a little bored with him.  It's the same every week.  I think Katharine will take the win this year!
