Poll question: I sure hope Americans don't vote like American Idol viewers!
Is it just me or was Latoya London (from American Idol) robbed tonight?

2. Amen
I don't even watch the show, but some of my family members do, and it seems like whenever I'm in the room, she's singing. And she's awful. Cute, but awful

5. haha
I don't watch it though, seriously. Aside from walking into a room, looking at the TV and going "Huh... bad..." or "Meh, ok" or even "she's cute". I don't even have cable TV up in my apartment :P

12. La Toya
I think that's how they spell it... with a space.

She can hit some notes, and that's who they kicked off.

She was especiallly good on Big Band night. (Now I'm just totally embarassed.)

4. anyone wanna bet that Jasmine ends up the winner? . . .
seems people are voting on looks and not on talent . . . Jasmine is very attractive, and from the way the votes have gone thusfar, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see her win it all . . . which in no way implies that she'll be the most successful of the finalists . . . look what Clay Aiken has done to Ruben Studdard in the past year . . .

11. If we voted for American Idol like we vote for the President,
William Hung would be the American Idol.

Well, not really. He would have placed second. But his father's friends would have helped to make him American Idol, despite the fact that he lost the vote.

14. Get a clue folks, it's exactly the same
Edited on Thu May-13-04 01:55 AM by moof
Don't watch it but from stories people have t
old about it,

1. It is totally rigged and the winner is already picked before it starts.

2. There are a few people that don't realize it's rigged and vote lots of times to try and influence the outcome.

3. It's on Faux for cripes sake !!!!!
