I sincerely believe the entire voting process is flawed. First and foremost, there should be just one vote per person allowed--NO MULTIPLE VOTING! And, I believe the only reason there is multiple votes allowed is the network loves the hype--"We had 16,000,000 votes tonight--another record!" What bull$hit! Does anyone really believe that 16-million individual votes were cast? I would wager some serious money that some computer hacker has figured out a way to cast thousands upon thousands of votes using his or her PC, and provided the program to their friends to do the same. Just my opinion, and I could be wrong--but I don't think so.

Additionally, each season for the past five seasons, some of the worst talent on the planet seems to stick around forever. C'mon! No one, even those with a half of a brain, would cast a vote for some of them. The votes were cast just to cause a problem, which in many instances, caused someone with real talent to end up being voted out of the competition when in reality they should have stayed.

I, for one, am really pissed about the entire show and the process. It will be the last season for me--that's for sure!

Simon cowels new show X factor starts soon cant wait

By next season, there will be 3 or more of these psuedo-talent shows on TV. Maybe it will be good for the overall structure of the shows, as only the strong shall survive. Simon, AI, Cee-Lo, and ??? OMG - TV is rushing downhill fast, and it's taking some of the dignity of the business I love so much with it. I know Show Biz is all about glitz, but without humility and humanity, it looses alot. As I grow older and see more through the eyes of my young, impressionable students ... the more I think the entertainment world needs to focus on real life and not the ratings. A real singer will be found without YouTube, Ellen or these silly shows that claim to be fair judges of talent. Being blessed with a voice is only one small part of the equation ... the drive and heart is what MAKES a true performer, and these shows are doing everything in their power to destroy that very thing.

I kinda agree with UD

You must remember that the majority of the voters are teenage girls and they are allowed to vote up to 10 times AND DO. Young girls will NEVER vote for a female over a guy...so this is why PIA is gone, and the good looking kid is still there.

It's kind of like the baseball all-star game...not always the best players get voted in. Same with Dancing with the Stars.

It's hard to control how people vote...and it's why, like Dave, I'm not that interested. Now if they had a SENIOR American Idol, that would be VERY interesting.

The Phillies won ... the TV is off for the night.

Jacop Lusk just blew the house down again with his rendition of
"Bridge Over Troubled Waters" on idol...OMG!!

I agree. My wife said she got goose bumps when he really got into the song. What an incredible rendition of a beautiful song.

I only had a chance to watch up to Casey's performance last night. He was totally awesome!

I look forward to hearing Jacobs version.

I sing bridge over trouble water on mothers day at Church every year. Totally love that song.
