'American Idol' Elimination Results: Karen Rodriguez Takes Her Final Bow

I really dislike these shows when the best talent is not given a chance to win. Karen is/was the best of all these singers...but she wasn't popular enough...it seems.

Really sad, because she has so much ability in her voice.

[Crimson Phoenix]

I wonder who votes.   I know I don't.  It sounds like too
much trouble.  Just saw your post XBama.  I think around 30 mil people still vote.  Somebody said a lot of them are 8 year olds.

[Crimson Phoenix]

Oh wait...XBama, I read it wrong...I'm such a dummy.

Those are dialdol scores, not votes.

Dialdol has been pretty accurate about the top people for the past few years. It's harder to peg the bottom ones because the numbers are closer together.  They have some of the bottom ones wrong from last night's voting.

I was shocked when Casey was voted off!  And I am glad the judges saved him and that 11 are going on the tour.  This means the tour will have 6 guys and 5 gals, a much better mix than last years' 6 guys and 4 gals.  We had already decided that the only ones the judges would use the "save" on were Casey, James, Pia and Scotty.  Now that issue has been put to rest! 

I like Casey and think he might be in the top 5.  How in the world do Stefano and Paul keep hanging on?  I wonder if "Vote for the Worst" is online this year and who they picked last night.  They became a real problem last year and influenced the vote.

The hubbie and I both vote, and numerous times!   Using our cell phones we just dial for awhile and have had no trouble getting through on the candidates this year.  I voted for Thia and James last night - Thia because I though as #2 singer she would get lost in the crowd and James just because I really like the guy.  Never occurred to me to vote to save Casey.

I swear the early spots are the kiss of death.  Maybe they'll give Paul the #1 spot next week

[XBAMA]

that's alright CP ... I remember Ryan saying how many millions voted before

I still can't believe Casey lost ... but he got the save so it's good
next week should be interesting 

we all need to remember to vote , Ive been voting online and it's really easy ...
easier for me than the att text deal or dialing is 
and you can vote for multiple contestants there too 

I forgot to vote last night , but James and Pia would of got mine
if I would have thought to vote for Casey I don't know 

was it just me ? or did Stevie forget the words tonight ?   

[Crimson Phoenix]

For some reason....I didn't think grown-ups voted.  Ha.

Well, y'all have convinced me to start voting...so I will vote from now on.

Here's this morning's article from the Rolling Stone about Casey's Magic Save.

I was really surprised Casey was voted off because I really thought he was in the top 5. He was handicapped by being in the #1 slot on Wednesday. Viewership at that time is 20-25% less than later in the show so it's tough to overcome. I do think Casey needs to either lose the beard entirely or at least trim it short.  IMHO.

[Crimson Phoenix]

I agree KoKoPuf.  Despite Casey's enormous talent, there is something off-putting about him.  We are used to tattoos and punk-rock looks, but there is something weird about Casey's looks that I can't put my finger on...like a throwback to the coffee house days....before hippies and yippies.  Trying to think of the name.  Googled it....Beatniks! 

[Kupkake]

I would like to see Casey neaten up his hair and beard.  CP, you hit it with hippies.

And I looked at "Vote for the Worst" earlier.  Of course, they are in full support of Paul McDonald.  We'll never get rid of little "chicken dance". 

[XBAMA]

I thought the same thing ... Casey needs a cut

[XBAMA]

For some reason....I didn't think OLD PEOPLE voted.  Ha.

  

you can blame Taylor Hicks  !   

[Crimson Phoenix]

Hey XBama...you know I said GROWN-UPs.  To me, grown-ups include people over 30.  I really thought most of the voters were kids.  Wrong.

Agree Kupkake.  As long as the producers let Paul hold a guitar to keep him from dancing around like a little pixie queen, he will stay in the game I think, although he won't get all the "worst" votes.  Just hope he doesn't knock out anyone more deserving at the end. His clothes are horrible and look a lot like Dolly Parton's old friend Porter Wagoner.
 
But don't you think except for winning the title of American Idol....all the top five are going to get their share of attention for career purposes?  



 

[Kupkake]

I agree totally, CP.  I think the top five will easily make it even if they are not the "idol".  I wonder if that is part of the job of the producer who is so masterfully guiding them - to see who is really marketable.  I remember one night he had someone to watch one of the performances.  I just can't remember who is was and who he was watching!  (Oh, I miss my mind!)
