‘Idol’ Voting System Proves its Flaw

American Idol just non-voted off its best performer of Season 7 tonight with the exit of Michael Johns. He had never been in the Bottom 3 all season, but was left on stage as the lowest vote count after Tuesday’s incredible performance of ‘Dream On’ by Aerosmith. Both TiVo and I were wrong, as our guesses were on the stage with Michael, but Carly and Syesha were safe.

The crowd started booing. I’d bet good money America was booing. In the end, we have no one to blame but ourselves – or the system. I pick the system.

The problem with the voting system is two-fold:

This Just In… TiVo Predicts American Idol Top 8

This from TMZ.com:

If you want to place bets on “Idol” in Vegas, we think we found a way you could score millions of bucks.

TiVo may have cracked the mystery of who gets kicked off and who doesn’t. Company insiders say they can predict who’s not connecting by TiVo usage.

Here’s the deal. In a sample of 20,000 users, TiVo monitors traffic — which contestants get replayed (a sign of popularity) and which one’s get fast-forwarded.

You think it’s bogus? Well, the TiVo system has nailed who got booted four weeks in a row.

And who does TiVo say is getting the ax tonight? Poor Syesha. Take it to the bank, people.

So, it’s me vs TiVo! Bring it! I’m sticking to my guns and still saying it will be Carly Smithson.

The results show is on tonight at 8:00pm Eastern on Fox.

American Idol: Top 8 Week – 4/8/2008

This week’s performance show can be summed up with this question:

What is Randy Jackson smoking nowadays?

Usually the nice guy who usually agrees with Paula, but liked to mention being pitchy in parts, he has been downright grumpy on some hawt performances the last two weeks. What gives, Randy? He’s been no harsh, he’s making Simon look like a doll.

First off for the night, Michael Johns rocked the joint and it was HAWT, I don’t give a darn what Randy had to say about the singing, the performance, or anything. I’m downloading that song on iTunes ASAP. I give him a 10.0 for the night. [Read more…]

American Idol Top 9 Results Show

Yesterday’s prediction:

The bottom 3 will be Ramiele Malubay, Brooke White, and Jason Castro.
My prediction: Ramiele Malubay

What can I say? When you’re right, you’re right. I don’t think that Kristy Lee Cook was in the bottom for any reason other than how bad she’s sucked in the past, but her last two weeks were better than Jason Castro, IMHO.
